Jean-Pierre shredded for wrongly claiming 64% of Americans support pardon: ‘Literally got a poll backwards’

For over a year, the president and Jean-Pierre repeatedly insisted Hunter would not get a pardon.

“I think it’s important to note here, as you’re asking me these questions — important questions to ask — that there was a poll, a U.S. Gov [sic] poll that came out that, some of you all reported on it,” she said.

“And it said 64% of the American people agree with the pardon — 64% of the American people. So, we get a sense of where the American people are on this. Obviously, it’s one poll, but it gives you a little bit of insight. Sixty-four percent is nothing to sneeze at,” she emphasized.

She later again said, “I called out the U.S. Gov [sic]. poll where 64% of Americans, that’s not a small number, agree with the president’s decision to pardon his son.”

The poll was from YouGov, not U.S. Gov, which does not exist.

But according to the poll, it was 64% of Democrats who supported the pardon. Of the American people, only 34% “strongly” or “somewhat” approved of the pardon, while 50% of Americans either “strongly” or “somewhat” disapproved.

The Chicks on the Right account asked if Jean-Pierre could turn a new leaf on her way out of the White House.

“Couldn’t you try to suck a little less during these last few weeks, @PressSec? Or just lie a little less? My GOD you’re awful. Just absolutely dreadful,” Chicks On The Right posted.
