White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre criticized five Republicans by name as representatives of the “extreme wing” of the party who are attacking democracy.
Her comments came while discussing President Joe Biden’s Thursday night address regarding the “soul of our nation,” and she specifically pointed to Reps. Paul Gosar (AZ), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), Madison Cawthorn (NC), Gov. Ron DeSantis (FL), and former President Donald Trump of carrying out “attacks on our core values as a country.”

“There are more examples than I can count on how we have seen, recently, armed attacks on federal law enforcement,” she explained before listing off those specific lawmakers. “These are things that we have to call out.”
Jean-Pierre claimed that Biden, who on Tuesday similarly singled out MAGA voters from typical Republicans during a speech in Pennsylvania, will not “shy away from what he believes.”
“He has the obligation to speak out against threats against our democracy, against violence.” she continued. “He believes as president, you have the strongest platform, if you will, the strongest voice, and that’s what he’s going to continue to do.”
