Biden says he didn't watch Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation hearing after White House claimed he did
The White House said Biden watched 'portions' of the hearing, but he told reporters he hadn't watched 'any'
President Biden once again contradicted messaging from the White House, this time regarding whether or not he tuned into the Senate confirmation hearing of his Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
During Monday's press conference, CBS News correspondent Ed O'Keefe asked the president if he had a chance to watch much of Jackson's hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.
Biden replied, "I didn't get a chance to see any of it, unfortunately."
That was what the White House told reporters during last Tuesday's press briefing, where Deputy Press Secretary Chris Meagher claimed Biden had seen "portions" of the hearing.
"The President watched portions of Judge Jackson’s hearing yesterday and today and is proud of the way she is showcasing her extraordinary qualifications, her experience, and her even-handedness. Her dedication to following the facts, the law, and our Constitution as an independent judge is clear," Meagher said at the time. "He was also moved by the grace and dignity she has shown, the deference to senators, and the level of detail she is offering, reinforcing the value of her experience, her intellect, and the strength of her character."
