Tuesday was an odd day at the White House. Press secretary Karine-Jean Pierre originally scheduled a press briefing for 2:30 p.m. However, a short time after the noon hour, she canceled it. We were told that President Biden’s scheduled speech at the Washington Hilton about matters grave and somber precluded the need for a briefing that day – though originally both were scheduled to occur.
It was no big deal we were told. Situation normal. Nothing to see here. Move along. The truth was President Biden’s son, Hunter, had just been found guilty of the felony purchase of a handgun that morning, and there was no way the press secretary wanted to face an hour’s worth of questions about that.
