If Trump said that the media and this weird chick would come unglued.

[billkirkham]

"Dead on arrival" so much for turning the heat down on violent rhetoric...

[stevenmorrison]

Hopefully Speaker Johnson has more security now after that comment. Last time Biden tongue slipped Trump was almost assassinated.

[Wolverine]

When her eyelids start fluttering you know the BS is coming

[oh_my_godshall]

KJP is defining what it is to misspeak while denying that POTUS misspoke lol

[leolo]

Wow, she can't just admit he f-d up and misspoke. Yep, he misspoke, but clarified what he meant later. See, easy peasy.

[MichaelCucina]

How can people just lie and lie and lie

[stevebrown]

BS...quit making excuses for the houseplant in chief

[andrewsalisbury]

Still making excuses. Not a Freudian slip.

[shanelaurent]

Whenever she says 'let's be very clear" you know its about to get as vague AF

[kikirae]

If I said KJP is DOA I’m gonna get a knock on my door..

[AMERFIN]

"In the bullse", "Dead on arrival". Could you imagine if someone else said that. 😮

[leefisher]

This is the problem with the administration- they cannot admit ANY mistake

[HLCA]

Limit term, years for Congress first . It is source of all problems

[wolmntn]

Sounds like a threat against Johnson to me.

[johndonaldson]

They should ask kjp what she's gonna do for work in 5 months

[nc]

Jean Pierre better get a sweetheart position somewhere after defending this baffoon

[rodneyhart]

Sound like biden put a hit on Johnson like he did trump

[cindynok]

Oh he slipped again on plans of harm of

[marycrawford]

how can she keep a straight face when she says he did not misspoke
