White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre dodged a question during Wednesday’s press briefing on whether the Biden administration would try to shut down Twitter if the platform hosts content that it doesn’t “like.”
“When you say that you’re going to be monitoring some of the speech on [Twitter], if you see something that you don’t like, would you try to shut Twitter down?” Doocy asked.
“So, look, you know, when you — when you talk about monitoring, you know, it is — I hate to break it to you, Peter: Just like everybody else, we very much monitor the news,” she responded. “We pay close attention to everything that you all are reporting, and — and Twitter is in the news a lot. And so that’s what we’re paying attention to. We’re paying attention to what is in the news and what is being reported on — on the misinformation that’s out there.”
She then highlighted how leftist organizations have “been very vocal about their concerns as well.”
“So, yes, we are reading what you all are writing, and looking at what you all are reporting about the misinformation that is out there,” she continued. “But, you know, I would hope that all Americans, including social media companies, civil rights organizations, as I just laid out, including Fox as well, will agree that we need to — you know, we need to — to, you know, call out hate speech and misinformation.”

TRANSCRIPT:
PETER DOOCY: When you say that you’re going to be monitoring some of the speech on there, if you see something that you don’t like, would you try to shut Twitter down?
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: So, look, you know, when you — when you talk about monitoring, you know, it is — I hate to break it to you, Peter: Just like everybody else, we very much monitor the news. We pay close attention to everything that you all are reporting, and — and Twitter is in the news a lot. And so that’s what we’re paying attention to. We’re paying attention to what is in the news and what is being reported on — on the misinformation that’s out there.
Let’s not forget there’s groups like NAACP, the Anti-Defamation League, and the public health leaders have been very vocal about their concerns as well.
So, yes, we are reading what you all are writing, and looking at what you all are reporting about the misinformation that is out there. But, you know, I would hope that all Americans, including social media companies, civil rights organizations, as I just laid out, including Fox as well, will agree that we need to — you know, we need to — to, you know, call out hate speech and misinformation.
That’s what tyrants do.
Only Peter seems to ask legit questions.
I enjoyed the angry African guy that once as well...
I’m sure Biden would like all the kiddieporn back.
every white house press briefing is full of offensive content these days.
She never answers a question. It’s just gibberish she spews, and the press never calls her on anything.
She reminds me of a Middle School student getting caught doing something naughty and then having to explain themselves. Talk in circles while you try to think up the next excuse........................
Her only qualifications are checked HR boxes.
Carpet muncher with melanin...you’re hired!
It’s all about access, if they actually ask a meaningful question they stand a good chance of getting booted, then they are, well, nobody
Betcha if he wanted to, Musk could arrange a big oops moment for one of his rockets.
Just stick to what’s written in your binder, Token.
I wonder if they are also “monitoring” CNN or Fox or CBS.
Affirm action idiot speaks like the new fraud ‘gov’ in AZ. Like, like...ummm...rilllly....like, ya know....rilly.
Monitor? Hell, they are on Speed Dial!............
“Jean-Pierre Dodges Question On If Biden Will Try To Shut Down Twitter”
I take that’s a yes.
Why doesn’t she just say he won’t? How does she decide whether to dodge a question or simply lie? Or say his position is ‘evolving’?
Univresatality. Invented by kjp (aka cpk) yesterday IIRC. Right up there with rickee lake’s “conversating”. 😳 The stoopid. It hurtz.
“So, yes, we are reading what you all are writing, and looking at what you all are reporting about the misinformation that is out there,” she continued.

That’s not the least bit biased. No sir.
Her speech has got that certain .... Univresatality!..................Apologies to Wesson Oil and Florence Henderson!..............
Yeah, does that mean that the White Hospice is OK with all the hardcore porn that is on the Twitter platform right now?
