Although it hasn’t been covered much lately, the possibility of a rail strike is one of the most important stories in America. The American public would be devastated if the country lost its ability to transport fuel or consumer goods.
A tentative agreement was made that would freeze things before the 2022 elections. It’s amazing, isn’t it? It’s hard to believe that Democrat-backed unions would be able to take one for the team in order to prevent the country from collapsing before the voters go to the polls. Things are still at the knife’s edge as we head into Christmas.
This has left the White House in a mess and is also the setting for one of the most outrageous lies the Biden administration has ever told. Karine Jean-Pierre, President Joe Biden’s press secretary, insists that he was involved in negotiations between unions and rail companies.
However, a new video from the RNC proves that this is simply not true. How can we be sure? We have Biden’s words.
This week, Karine Jean-Pierre repeatedly insisted Biden has been “directly involved” in rail strike negotiations — but that’s not what Biden said yesterday.

It is quite disturbing to see Jean-Pierre repeat the same lie eight times only for Biden to reveal the truth two days later. The press secretary repeatedly claimed that Biden was involved in negotiations. He stated, however, that he was not “directly involved” in the negotiations on Thanksgiving and that his team is taking care of things.
This was a lack of coordination? I suspect not. It seems more likely that Biden’s dementia struck again, rendering him unable to recall his points.
But here’s the big question. Why would anyone lie about it? Who would have thought that Biden was not directly involved in this? Would you have? I wouldn’t. Given the president’s history of failure, most Americans would prefer that he not be involved.
What’s the motivation for lying? It’s likely to be a result of deep-seated insecurity within the administration. Biden is clearly out of the loop and not in control, so his handlers are quick to correct, pretending that they’re intimately involved in all important decisions. He’s not. And the attempt to make it appear that way can lead to awkward situations such as this, where the president directly contradicts his press secretary. This has happened a lot over the past two years.
Jean-Pierre, what is she supposed to do? She is terrible at her job but she can only do what she can with the resources she has. And what she does have is a man who cannot be trusted to tell the truth. It would be prudent to not lie so much, given that. This is just a suggestion.
