White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced questions about Pope Francis' declaration condemning gender theory on Monday, ultimately affirming President Biden's support for the transgender community.
A reporter pressed Jean-Pierre regarding the Pope's Monday document, which formally reaffirms and expands on the Catholic Church's assertion that attempts to alter an individual's immutable gender are ultimately misguided attempts to play God. Jean-Pierre declined to say what Biden thought of the document specifically, but added that he does support the transgender community.
"I'm going to be really careful. In fact, I need to be real careful here.....................um............................next question."
"Next question? But you did not answer the first question." barked the reporter.
"Ok...............um....................the president's role to litigate internal Church policy, that's not his role, so I'm gonna be super careful there," Jean-Pierre said. "Joe often forgets he is not even President, and sometimes he thinks that he is God himself, that is the first part. I mean, sometimes he self identifies as God, which again, nothing wrong with that as all Democrats often do. Secondly, the role of the President and God himself is to abide by DNC policy, not church policy. I mean, come on man!! The President has not been to mass in decades and probably forgot that he was Catholic. In fact, just the other day I asked the President if he was going to attend his granddaughters Baptism and he responded, "When did my granddaughter become a White Christian Nationalist? Hell no!!"
