Karine Jean-Pierre shuts down reporter's questions about transgender kids

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre scolded a reporter who she felt asked an “irresponsible” question about transgender athletes by insinuating they can be “dangerous”, during the White House Press Briefing on Tuesday (13 June).

Journalist Owen Jensen of Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), a Catholic-themed news network, asked Ms Jean-Pierre if the Biden administration was worried “about the physical safety of females directly competing against males in sports” as it pertains to proposed changes to Title IX.

Ms Jean-Pierre said: “That is irresponsible. I have just laid out how complicated this issue is. I have just laid out why it’s complicated. And so, anything that you have, any additional questions, I refer to the Department of Education.”

Ms Jean-Pierre then moved on to the next question.

Karine wants women's safety to be jeapordised for the sake of her wokism. Children too, according to her, should be made even more confused.

It's obvious (except to Karine) that the reporter was referring to contact sports.

You'll note it's never a girl wanting access to the boys changing room...

Trump's secretary actually answered questions. This one does this routinely.

She can't talk honestly and provide facts about allowing men to compete in woman sports becuse the average man has 80% greater arm muscle mass and 50% more lower body muscle mass than a average woman.

Always with the "save the kids" with the leftys.😂😂They are destroying Americas kids.

Just another groomer. That it comes from a woman is disgraceful

[johnanderson]

So it goes back to " Women should be seen and not heard. And a willing receptacle🤣 that a man should spend his passions." Way to go women !!! Give up.

Absolutely horrible tactics to make it appear as if she's answering, when she's not. An absolute disgrace. Martin Decoder does a great job dismantling her sub par tactics on his channel. Check em out.

Questions are dangerous.
It's not complicated, the Left and Wokism makes it complicated for no reason - men (biological) should not be playing in women's sports due to studied and proven physical advantages. FINA and UCI have done the right thing.

before the bots come in the reporter was talking about the fact that boy to girl transition is the same if a man was full of steroids and the other wasn't which very dangerous.
