Fleischer Pushes Back at Chaffetz: KJP Isn’t Lying About Number of Biden’s Grandchildren, She Just Won’t Talk About It

EXCERPT:

FLEISCHER: "Well, the fact is, when you are the press secretary you are basically under instructions from the president, you answer the questions the way the president wants you to answer, particularly when it applies to his family. So if Joe Biden wants to be in denial about the fact that he has one more grandchild who he just won’t acknowledge, that is Joe Biden’s business and we all know it. And I don't really think it's a governing matter, but it certainly contradicts everything the Biden family loves to talk about when they talk about love of grandchildren and welcoming families. There is a lot of hypocrisy going on here."
CHAFFETZ: "I think it’s deeper than that. I think if you are instructing the press secretary to lie for you, that’s a problem."
FLEISCHER: "She just said, 'I won't talk about it.' And that’s why the smarter question would have been how many does he have. Yeah."
