Pierre said \u201cit\u2019s ok\u201d for abortion rights protesters to accost Supreme Court justices.<\/p>\n<p>During a Friday press conference, she was asked by Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy if President Joe Biden found it appropriate for protesters to \u201cintimidate Supreme Court justices when they\u2019re out to eat.\u201d Pierre asserted that the administration condemns the intimidation of judges and added that the administration had drawn the line as to which actions against judges would be permitted. She noted that protesters organizing outside of restaurants was well within the guidelines. Her response lead Doocy to push the issue further. He questioned if there was anywhere where she doesn\u2019t think it\u2019s appropriate to go.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWe have been pretty clear on this,\u201d Pierre stated. \u201cThe president has been very clear that we condemn any intimidation of judges in this specific question here. He has signed legislation making sure they have the protection that they need.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The secretary once again sidestepped the question and asserted that the administration condemned \u201dintimidation\u201d but noted that demonstrators should be permitted to peacefully protest anywhere.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf protesters know a justice is out to eat at a restaurant then they can go and protest as long as they are what you consider peaceful?\u201d Doocy questioned.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cWell we have said that what we want to see is peaceful protest,\u201d the secretary voiced. \u201cThat\u2019s what we have said. We want to see protests that are peaceful but when it comes to intimidation that is something we have condemned.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The reporter went on to ask whether justices were afforded the same rights to privacy as anyone else. He questioned whether the protesters even had the right to be there.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cPeople have the right, this is what a Democracy is,\u201d she said. \u201cOf course. People have a right to privacy, but they also have a right to be able to protest peacefully.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Karine Jean-Pierre on Brett Kavanaugh being forced out of a DC restaurant by protesters over his opinion:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is what a democracy is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A8bsOXNXuc\">pic.twitter.com\/A8bsOXNXuc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bennyjohnson\/status\/1545471913442549761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Doocy was unsatisfied with Pierre\u2019s response and questioned whether allowing protesters to follow justices around could potentially create a dangerous situation for them.
