WASHINGTON, D.C. — White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was thrown for a loop Wednesday when a journalist from NBC asked her an actual question. Jean-Pierre, who had a binder full of notes about various subjects, became flustered when she had to consult it. To her horror, the binder, which she'd considered as nothing more than a prop for several months, did not contain any answers.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?" asked Jean-Pierre. "That sounded like a question."
The NBC news reporter graciously repeated herself. "Is President Biden planning to address the apparent dichotomy between his constant celebrations for 'fixing' inflation and the fact that new data keeps suggesting the opposite is happening and that people are slowly spiraling toward a second great depression?"
