NextImg:Jean-Pierre: 'The President Is the Best Communicator That We Have in the White House'

(CNSNews.com) - Still no public comment from President Joe Biden on the three mysterious flying objects deemed threatening enough at the time for the Air Force to shoot them down this past weekend.

The three "objects," now described as probably "benign," were detected just a few days after the Air Force downed a Chinese spy balloon after it flew across the continental United States.

Biden gave a speech in Washington on Tuesday, but never mentioned the objects, despite multiple calls from multiple senators for him to say something to the people he leads.

Biden didn't even issue a written statement on the flying objects, although he did issue statements on the retirement of Sen. Dianne Feinstein and on gun violence.

Nevertheless, Biden spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters on Tuesday that Biden "is the best communicator that we have in the White House."

A reporter told Jean-Pierre, "[T]he U.S. does not shoot objects out of the sky every day. Why hasn’t the President come forward and spoken to the American people about this?"

"So, I know your colleague asked my colleague this earlier today during his gaggle," Jean-Pierre said:

"And, look, the President is taking this very seriously. And he’s receiving briefings regularly from his national security advisors. And he’s going to continue to do that.

"We are sharing as much information as we can, as — as possible. And — but we do want to make sure that the Americans — American people understand that there’s no need to panic. The President took this action, as I mentioned earlier, because the objects were indeed flying at low — lower elevation and they were in civilian airspace. And we wanted to make sure that we protected that airspace.

"But, again, you know, we want to also make sure that the Americans are not — do not panic during this time."

Another reporter noted that President Barack Obama gave a national address from the Oval Office in 2010 to discuss the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. "When fighter jets are shooting down unknown aerial objects over U.S. territory, doesn’t it also warrant a national address from the President?" the reporter asked.

"Again, I don’t have anything to read out on the President speaking to this," Jean-Pierre said:

"What I can tell you is the President takes this very seriously. He’s been briefed multiple times — right? — on a regular basis, about — about what — about the objects and what is currently occurring, and trying to get the debris and, you know, get a sense of the analysis and get the capabilities of not just the debris, but also the Chinese surveillance balloon.

"And he’ll continue to be updated on those matters. I just don’t have anything else to share."

Then came this question from reporter James Rosen concerning President Biden's communication options:

"There's obviously a variety of settings the president can employ: set pieces, impromptu remarks, teleprompter, no teleprompter, et cetera, et cetera," Rosen said.

"Is it the view of the President’s communications team that he is equally adept in all settings, in terms of communications? Or are there some that play to greater strengths, some where he probably isn’t as strong, et cetera?"

"I will tell you this," Jean-Pierre said: "The President is the best communicator that we have in the White House."

And that was that.
