That is an incredibly offensive question to ask,\u201d Jean-Pierre said. \u201cLet me be very clear about this. For the past several years, the president\u2019s physician has laid out in a comprehensive way the president\u2019s health. This is a president who if you watch him every day, if you really pay attention to his record and what he has done, you will see exactly how focused he\u2019s been on the American people, how historic his actions have been. And so I\u2019m not even going to truly, truly, really, you know, take the premise of your question. I think it is incredibly insulting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The press secretary requested the next question, which she also firmly answered, regarding gas and <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/money\">grocery prices<\/a>. Garrison questioned how the president can expect to win votes when voters have less disposable income.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen the president walked into this administration, there were multiple problems happening,\u201d Jean-Pierre said. \u2018But the president took action on gas prices. Let\u2019s not forget, the Russian invasion of Ukraine skyrocketed prices of gas, and because the president took action we are in a different place than we were a year ago on gas prices. Eggs, milk, seafood products, all the important groceries \u2014 those prices have gone down because of what this president has been able to do. And with that, thank you so much Mark, have an amazing day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre then hung up the phone, leaving Garrison and another radio host stunned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWow, wow, wow. I mean, Mark, is this? Listen, I am nominating you to get a press corps badge, and you need to go to the White House,\u201d the other host said. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, but you asked three, four incredibly salient, important questions that are all front of mind. Nothing out of bounds. No baba booeying or anything like that. Right? And you did it exactly right on. I don\u2019t understand the fragility of this person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The interview comes after critics of the 81-year-old president have expressed concern over his mental capability to serve another four years as the commander-in-chief.
