On 5/31/2022, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said she ‘did not hear that part of the speech’ when asked Tuesday about claims made by President Joe Biden that he was ‘appointed’ to the Naval Academy the same year he was already finishing college. ‘I need to read it myself, and just go back and see what you’re talking about exactly. I can’t speak to it right now,’ Jean-Pierre told CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe during the press briefing, as he had asked whether Biden could be confused about the timeline. On 5/27/2022, Joe Biden claimed he applied to the Naval Academy in 1965 even though that date makes his story impossible, during his remarks at the Naval Academy graduation and commissioning ceremony in Annapolis, Maryland. Peter Doocy of Fox News grilled the White House Press Secretary about whether the Biden administration still blames Russia’s Vladimir Putin for the current economic situation. "And you just mentioned Putin a few times, as a reason for recent inflation. Do you guys think that any part of inflation this year is because of President Biden’s spending plans, or is it all Putin’s fault?" asked Doocy. "Well what I can say is, we are - and Brian just spoke to this - we are at a historic place when it comes to the economy..." The White House press secretary in her response echoed the talking points mentioned in Biden’s piece: "Now, we’re going to a place where we’re going into transition.”
