It highlights Jean-Pierre&#8217;s consistent dismissal of allegations regarding Biden&#8217;s decline as mere conspiracy theories propagated by right-wing critics. <\/p>\n<p>Notably, after a controversial debate performance against Donald Trump, Jean-Pierre claimed that Biden was &#8220;as sharp as ever,&#8221; despite observable moments of confusion, such as a viral incident where Biden froze on stage next to former President Barack Obama. When confronted about evidence of Biden&#8217;s decline, she labeled critical footage as &#8220;cheap fakes&#8221; and attempted to undermine the credibility of the sources sharing these videos.<\/p>\n<p>The article further references a report from Special counsel Robert Hur that suggested Biden&#8217;s mental state might influence legal proceedings against him, which Jean-Pierre contested, arguing that Hur was not a medical professional and emphasizing Biden&#8217;s supposed vigor. Despite her efforts to project confidence in Biden&#8217;s abilities, the article argues that these tactics have ultimately diminished her credibility and that of the Biden management as they approach the upcoming elections. The piece concludes by suggesting that the biden White House struggles with transparency regarding who is truly in charge.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>There are a lot of leftists who partook in the years-long effort by Democrats and their media allies to lie about Joe Biden&rsquo;s fitness to serve as president. But none stand out quite like White House Press Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/tag\/karine-jean-pierre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karine Jean-Pierre<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>While often known for her inability to answer softball questions from friendly media hacktivists, Jean-Pierre was one of the central figures at the heart of the Biden cover-up. For years, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/media-say-bidens-female-led-comms-is-a-first-trump-has-that-now\/\" title=\"Media Say ...s Female-Led Comms Is A First. Trump Has That Now\">press secretary<\/a>, who proclaimed to engage regularly with the president, dismissed questions and concerns about Biden&rsquo;s decline as nothing more than conspiracy theories manufactured by nefarious right-wing actors. <\/p>\n<p>Recall the days following Biden&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/28\/biden-just-put-on-the-most-disastrous-debate-performance-in-presidential-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disastrous debate<\/a> against Donald Trump, in which Jean-Pierre emphatically defended her boss&rsquo;s clear lack of mental fitness. In a White House press briefing, the Biden spokeswoman <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/politics\/politics-news\/biden-white-house-mental-acuity-cognitive-test-1235053064\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> reporters that her boss is &ldquo;as sharp as ever.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I see a president when I&rsquo;m sitting in front of him, going through the day or talking about what he&rsquo;s doing next. He is someone that engages with us. He wants &hellip; to know, he pushes us, he prods us &mdash; wanting to figure out like the bigger picture of whatever we&rsquo;re trying to explain to him, or even granule details,&rdquo; Jean-Pierre said. &ldquo;He is as sharp as ever, as I have known him to be in my engagement, in my experience with him. And I know when I walk into the Oval Office or or see him on Air Force One, I have to be on top of my game.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>As laughable as it may be, the quote represents one of many instances in which Jean-Pierre went out of her way to obfuscate the likely reality that Biden wasn&rsquo;t the one actually running the country.<\/p>\n<p>In the days leading up to the June 2024 debate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/transgender-allegedly-exposed-himself-to-schoolkids-and-made-a-deadly-threat-then-police-lose-all-patience\/\" title=\"Transgender Allegedly Exposed Himself to Schoolkids and Made a Deadly Threat - Then Police Lose All Patience\">videos began circulating<\/a> on social media of Biden freezing while on stage at a fundraising event alongside former President Barack Obama. As The Federalist&rsquo;s Brianna Lyman <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/06\/18\/white-house-shamelessly-claims-video-of-biden-clearly-freezing-up-onstage-is-fake\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>, &ldquo;The footage shows Biden and Obama standing on stage at the end of the event and waving to the crowd &mdash; until Biden stops waving and stares blankly ahead. The awkward moment doesn&rsquo;t end until Obama &hellip; gently grabs Biden&rsquo;s hand to lead him off the stage.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The documented incident prompted a so-called &ldquo;journalist&rdquo; to raise the matter at a subsequent White House press briefing, in which he claimed that the &ldquo;rash of videos&rdquo; were &ldquo;edited to make the president appear especially frail or mentally confused.&rdquo; Without missing a beat, the press secretary used the opportunity to classify the video of Biden&rsquo;s decline as a &ldquo;cheap fake&rdquo; and &ldquo;disinformation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They are &lsquo;cheap fakes&rsquo; video, they are done in bad faith,&rdquo; Jean-Pierre said. &ldquo;Some of your news organization[s] have been very clear, have stressed, that these right-wing critics of the president have a credibility problem because the fact-checkers have repeatedly caught them pushing misinformation, disinformation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>If so-called &ldquo;disinformation&rdquo; was to blame for videos showcasing Biden&rsquo;s frailty, then how did Jean-Pierre square Special Counsel Robert Hur&rsquo;s report regarding the Delaware Democrat&rsquo;s mishandling of classified documents? In his analysis, Hur <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/02\/08\/prosecutors-decline-to-charge-elderly-biden-over-poor-memory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claimed<\/a> the decision to not charge Biden was based on the belief that the then-president &ldquo;would likely present himself to the jury, as he did during our interview with him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>When pressed on the report&rsquo;s findings in a February 2024 White House briefing, Jean-Pierre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/jean-pierre-slams-hur-sharp-biden-more-one-hour-most-a-day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">disavowed<\/a> the narrative that Biden was in a state of clear mental decline and attacked Hur, saying he&rsquo;s a &ldquo;Republican prosecutor&rdquo; and &ldquo;not a medical doctor.&rdquo; She further regurgitated <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/jill-biden-message-supporters-calls-special-counsels-mention\/story?id=107139308\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rhetoric<\/a> espoused by then-First Lady Jill Biden by asserting her boss &ldquo;does more in one hour than most people do in a day. His age, with experience and expertise, is an incredible asset, and he proves it every day.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>During the briefing she also reportedly proclaimed that Biden was &ldquo;sharp,&rdquo; &ldquo;on top of things,&rdquo; and demonstrated &ldquo;vigor&rdquo; in private settings more so than public venues.<\/p>\n<p>In July 2023, Jean-Pierre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/karine-jean-pierre-chuckles-reporter-urging-biden-do-presser-on-his-health-ask-him-step-out\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reportedly<\/a> &ldquo;chuckled&rdquo; when asked by a reporter if Biden would participate in a press briefing and answer &ldquo;questions about [his] health.&rdquo; The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >press secretary effectively dodged<\/a> the inquiry, thanking the reporter for the question and saying, &ldquo;You guys want to ask him questions and have the opportunity for him to answer your questions,&rdquo; before not-so-slyly moving on to discussing the economy.  <\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre displayed a similar evasive tactic during an interview with then-CNN host Don Lemon in 2022. When <a href=\"https:\/\/news.grabien.com\/story\/astounded-jean-pierre-tells-lemon-he-shouldnt-be-asking-if-b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asked<\/a> by Lemon on Biden&rsquo;s fitness to run for reelection, the Biden spokeswoman <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2022\/06\/13\/politics\/biden-reelection-white-house-karine-jean-pierre-cnntv\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said<\/a> in disbelief, &ldquo;Don, you&rsquo;re asking me this question &hellip; Oh my gosh. He&rsquo;s the president of the United States. &hellip; I can&rsquo;t even keep up with him.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That is not a question that we should be even asking. Just look at the work he does. And look how he&rsquo;s delivering for the American public,&rdquo; she added. <\/p>\n<p>Yet for all her effort to hide the truth about Biden&rsquo;s decline, Jean-Pierre&rsquo;s falsehoods got her party nowhere. Her boss was effectively forced out as the 2024 nominee, Kamala Harris lost, and the country is now once again wondering who in the Biden White House was really the one running the show.<\/p>\n<p>If that&rsquo;s not a clear-cut case study on how to blow one&rsquo;s credibility, then what is?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Shawn Fleetwood is a staff writer for The Federalist and a graduate of the University of Mary Washington.
