Karine Jean-Pierre Won’t Say if Biden Agrees with Kamala Harris Comparing Abortion to Slavery

‘I need to actually see exactly what was said and in what complete context’

EXCERPT:

DOOCY: “Her comment was: ‘We know, NAACP, that our country has a history of claiming ownership over human bodies. And today, extremists, so-called leaders are criminalizing doctors and punishing women for making health care decisions for themselves.”

JEAN-PIERRE: “Well, she is correct. Today’s decisions are criminalizing doctors and essentially taking the rights away from women, taking the freedom away from women, really taking away people’s privacy. That does matter and that is important.”

DOOCY: “But she was invoking slavery. So the President agrees?”

JEAN-PIERRE: “For me, I appreciate you reading out what she said. I need to actually see exactly what was said and in what complete context. That’s what I need to do as a spokesperson for the administration.”
