Karine Jean-Pierre stresses peace as online talk of violence ramps up after Mar-a-Lago search
By: Noah Garfinkel (Axios)
Does this sound like a President who is in charge? The official message is that Biden was completely out of the loop. And a generic milquetoast condemnation of political violence doesn't inspire confidence in Biden's leadership.
A compliant press can publish all sorts of argle-bargle about Trump. But Biden is supposed to be in charge now. Blaming Trump won't excuse Biden's weakness.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday called for people to remain peaceful and said the White House condems any future "political violence" after former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home was searched by the FBI.
Driving the news: Jean-Pierre was responding to a question about the possibility of violence amid online talk on pro-Trump forums, with some even calling for a "civil war," NBC reports.
What she's saying: "Our message is that [...] there is no place for political violence in this country," Jean-Pierre said.
- "We would ask Americans to remain peaceful in this time again," she added. [Violence] is something that we condemn."
Of note: Jean-Pierre said the White House was not briefed on the search, but declined to comment any further, referring the media to the Department of Justice.

Blaming Trump won't excuse Biden behaving like an accidental President. Who is really in charge?
“…an accidental President.”
Really? You’ve gone off the deep end.
If we're not going to blame Trump for the threat of political violence, we are we supposed to blame? No one in the Biden administration is promoting violence.
?
…”OR”, more “appropriately”…,,,..?
That's cute that they even remotely think Biden knows where he is let alone what's going on around him.
They didn't seem to condemn it during the Floyd Riots. I wonder what changed....
reading this , one thing popped to mind .
plausable deniability , or believable deniability if one wants .
if it goes south , and he wasnt "in the loop", how can he be blamed ?
others will take the heat and the fall.
Sorry, that pooch has been screwed. Maybe it's time for a Clinton defense.
true
someone definitely IS dog knotted , thing is , who and how high and deep?
Even if he was in the loop he still has plausible deniability via dementia.
cmon gazoo man , thats "low hanging fruit ", even i left that one on the vine , over ripe and over used from testing .
besides we dont want him to do his scrunchy face and creepy whisper trying to imitate clint eastwood yet looking like walter with gas.
Low hanging fruit, that’s very appropriate for this pres. Anyway, if asked he could say he doesn’t recall and it would be 100% believable.
So neither Garland nor Wray thought they should give the White House a heads up?
Bullshit...
DOJ sources are already calling it a spectacular backfire and trying to insulate Garland from the blame for the raid by claiming he did not approve it.
He insists, though, that Garland had no prior knowledge of the date and time of the specific raid, nor was he asked to approve it. "I know it's hard for people to believe," says the official, "but this was a matter for the U.S. Attorney and the FBI."
The blame game has already started
That the USAG knew nothing specific or gave approval to the head of his investigative branch for something like this is as unbelievable as the White House not having been briefed.
I suspect one of the first things the Republican Congress will do will be to open an investigation into the corruption that pervades the FBI
The lefts beloved "anonymous source". We've seen how those work out for the Democrats.
Our message is that [...] there is no place for political violence in this country," Jean-Pierre said
Unless it's political violence democrats support.
If democrats supported violence, Trump would be dead long ago.
