Jean-Pierre shredded for claiming reopening schools was a 'priority' for Biden: 'Spin doesn’t change facts'

Conservatives skewered White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre for claiming that President Biden had made it a "priority" to reopen schools after the COVID-19 lockdowns.

A reporter brought up the toll the lockdowns took on children's education during Wednesday's press briefing, and asked the press secretary what Biden’s plan is to help kids catch up from learning loss.

"Look, as you just said, kids have lost so much in the pandemic," Jean-Pierre replied. "This is why, when the president walked in, he made a priority to open schools, one of the things that was important to do to make sure that our kids, who have lost so much, were able to go back in-person school if they choose, have the resources that they needed to really succeed and move forward in their education."
