Fox News
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre touted President Biden's State of the Union address in a press gaggle Wednesday, saying it put the GOP "on defense."
Jean-Pierre said the White House stands by Biden's address and that GOP lawmakers attempt to "speak out of both sides of their mouths" on the issue. Timothy Nerozzi is a writer for Fox News Digital. You can follow him on Twitter @timothynerozzi and can email him at timothy.nerozzi@fox.com
"Just a couple of things that I just want to lay out, and we want to be very real here because there are some facts that we have seen the last couple of years — not even the last couple of months — which is members of the Republican caucus have repeatedly for many, many years tried to cut Medicare and Social Security, to privatize it, raise the retirement age," the press secretary said.
