During a press conference Tuesday evening, just hours after the arrest of former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden sneered when asked about his predecessor’s legal battle.

As the media gaggle was being ushered out of the briefing room, a reporter asked Biden whether he believed the indictment of Trump was politically divisive.

“Is the indictment of your predecessor politically divisive?” a reporter asked.

Biden’s response – a smug chuckle and wide grin – tells it all.

Earlier today, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre fielded multiple questions surrounding Biden’s silence, getting into chaotic shouting matches with reporters from across the political spectrum.

New York Times reporter Michael Shear first asked Jean-Pierre why President Joe Biden has commented on the January 6th Capitol event, while hundreds of cases from that day are ongoing, and now refuses to discuss Trump’s case.

Jean-Pierre unsurprisingly then leaned into January 6, saying, “January 6 was a devastating day,” and repeating the false claim that police officers died as a result of the event.

“What we saw on that day was an attack on our democracy.”

“The president will never shy away when it comes to our democracy,” Jean-Pierre continued, while refusing to offer any substantive answer to Shear’s question.

“And so, it was a different moment, and a different time.”

When Shear again asked her to answer his original question, Jean-Pierre began shouting at the reporter, once again repeating the debunked lie that a law enforcement officer died during January 6.

During the same press briefing, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy also grilled Jean-Pierre for failing to comment on the precedent set by Trump’s arrest.
