With a room full of reporters every day you would think it would be common knowledge that Karine is worthless.

[rebelman]

She always does this crap. “I’m not gonna comment” what is even the point of you being in that position??

[michaelkapelis]

The American legal system is the best money can buy!!!

[wubuck]

This is actually one time her response is correct. It doesn’t matter what the president thinks about SCOTUS ethics issues.

[Ben_U_Over]

Asking this administration about ethics is hilarious

[tjmoneybags]

What about democrats that dont report their stock trades

[Johnnykandela]

She always tries to not answer questions. Everybody in the White House needs to be fired and replaced.

[eswift]

"There are other bodies that should be dealing with this." That's a comment, and it's the correct one. The President is not the person in charge of ethics for the Supreme Court.

[wendigo]

Awesome how Forbes trying to flip Clarence Thomas behaviour into a White House communications issue!

[insertlastname]

The big guys 10% has nothing to say on the matter

[brianmeek]

Maybe the irs should have an investigation

[jeannecarey]

Why do they even bother having these press meetings? At best all she does is regurgitate Democrat ideology or not comment.

[MrsBerry]

Two words: Jeffrey Epstein 👀 until we can know about that, in detail.. I don’t care

[Christian-jxnx]

Isn’t it curious how many people democrats are going after and none are democrats? Like EVER! 🧐 even when they’re caught red handed.

[justaformerb]

Considering that law was passed after all of the donations, if you like it or not, legally there was no wrongdoing.

[rosegerhard-vfjs]

That's what HARDWORKING TAXPAYERS PAY HER FOR😂😂

[MK-lhxd]

She didn't dodge. She answered the question.

[chase]

Smartest thing she ever said..keep her mouth shut 🤐

[jackgoff]

Didn't she get stopped for a DWI last week and while being detained by the local cops capital police and secret service showed up and took her away from the local cops. Not being reported.

If LBJ saw her now he would veto the civil rights act
