White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Piere suffered a meltdown on live radio and stormed out of an interview after the host asked her whether Democrat President Joe Biden “has dementia.”
According to a clip shared by the station, Jean-Pierre appeared to abruptly end the local radio interview.
Biden’s spokeswoman joined Mark Garrison from 99.3 WBT, a radio station based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The interview was held ahead of Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign trip to the key battleground state.
During the phone interview, Garrison asked Jean-Pierre if Biden was suffering from dementia, causing her to meltdown.
The press secretary replied that the question was “incredibly offensive.”
She angrily asked Garrison to move on to the next question.
However, Jean-Pierre then seemingly hung up as the host asked a question on the state of the economy, a clip from the interview reveals.
Garrison asked Jean-Pierre:
“When I told a number of people that I was talking to you today — it was interesting — they all said, ‘Would you please just ask her if the president has dementia?’
“So before I move on from that, does he?”
“Mark, I can’t even believe you’re asking me this question,”
