White House President Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been blasted for defending the extreme rhetoric used by President Joe Biden and Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris to describe their opponents.
Jean-Pierre was shredded online for defending the Biden-Harris administration’s rhetoric about President Trump following the latest assassination attempt against him.
The Democrats have again come under fire after Trump was rushed off a West Palm Beach, Florida golf course this past Sunday due to another assassination attempt.
Thankfully, the Secret Service discovered the gunman, Ryan Routh, lurking in the bushes before he was able to murder Trump.
Trump argues that the extreme “rhetoric” promoted by Biden and Harris is what is causing him to be “shot at.”
During a White House press briefing on Tuesday, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Jean-Pierre:
“How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the president and vice president and you pick a different word to describe Trump, other than ‘threat?’”
Jean-Pierre told Doocy she completely disagreed with the premise of his question.
Instead of answering the question, she claimed that the way he asked it was “incredibly dangerous” because Americans were watching.
WATCH:
Social media commentators were quick to condemn Jean-Pierre as an unapologetic part of the problem.
In a post on X, The Spectator editor-at-large Ben Domenech argued:
“‘Asking questions about how we demonize our opponents and their supporters is dangerous!’ is an utterly heinous response from KJP.”

The Spectator’s contributing editor Stephen L. Miller parodied this mentality by writing:
“Our violence is speech.
“Your speech is dangerous.”

Podcaster Tim Young argued that Jean-Pierre’s response to Doocy’s question was basically one where she “gaslights by saying it’s dangerous for him to ask that, and his tone is dangerous…”
“She thinks you’re stupid*,” Young warned his followers.

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) cautioned:
“This is disgraceful and bordering on conspiracy at this point.
“The Dems can’t run on policy so they are running on demonizing @realDonaldTrump.”

Fox News contributor Tammy Bruce called out the White House spokeswoman for deflecting criticism back to Doocy.
“In asking a question about the admin’s use of the word ‘threat’ to describe Trump, KJP accuses Doocy of being ‘dangerous’ for asking the question!” she wrote.

Video journalist Nick Sortor suggested:
“These people are clearly going to continue these violent narratives. Evil.”
