Jean-Pierre on NBC Hiring Ronna McDaniel: ‘We Saw What Happened on January 6’

EXCERPT:

JEAN-PIERRE: “I mean, look, I’ll — I’ll say — I’ll answer it this way. We saw what happened on January 6th. We saw what happened when 2,000 people, a mob, went to the Capitol and undermined our democracy, attacked our democracy because they didn’t believe in free and fair elections. And so, we understand and we saw that. And you — some of you may have been there — many of you reported it. And it was an attack on our democracy, and it is important — it is important that we are very clear to the public about the facts, that we are very clear to the public about the truth. And we understand the burden that you all have. And — and so, I just want to be super mindful. Not commenting on a personnel decision. But more broadly speaking, that is where we are. That is where we are as a country.”
