Newsmax chief White House correspondent James Rosen asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre point-blank if President Joe Biden is “woke” at Tuesday’s press briefing.

Rosen questioned the press secretary on the culture wars, in which Republicans have vowed to tackle far-left policies and agendas that fit into the “woke” category.

“Is President Biden woke?” he asked.

“I’ll tell you what the president cares about and what’s important to this president. The president doesn’t concern himself about what Republicans are trying to do in creating political stunts,” she said. “In making issue on what they feel benefits them politically, not the American people, not what matters to the American people, but what benefits them politically for their own ability to move forward.”

WATCH:

Biden asserted that teaching critical race theory (CRT) in schools is “not woke,” but is instead an important aspect of American history in a Jan. 16 speech to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day. An expert told the Daily Caller News Foundation in June that the military is facing a recruitment due to Biden’s “woke policies,” including diversity quotas, teaching CRT to the military institutions and, at the time, barring religious exemptions for the COVID-19 vaccine.

The press secretary said the president concerns himself with how the administration can work with Republicans to “deliver for the American people.” She then accused Republicans of wanting to cut Social Security and Medicare and ignore issues “that matter to the American people.” (RELATED: In Joe Biden’s Woke America, Enemies Exploit Our Achilles Heel)

“Can you imagine if you’re an American out there and you hear a congressional member talking about how they want to cut Social Security, talking about how they want to cut Medicare, something that you have worked very hard for many, many years and paid into so that you can get those programs,” she said. “But yet, that Republican senator [Florida Sen. Rick Scott] who we’ve been talking about from Florida has continued to talk about how they want to sunset these programs. That’s not what we’re about. We’re about fighting for these programs and that’s what you’ve seen from this president and that’s what he cares about.”

Republicans have disputed the Biden administration’s claims that the party intends to cut Social Security and Medicare. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told CBS’ “Face the Nation” in January that cuts to both programs are “off the table,” and that Republicans will instead strengthen both Social Security and Medicare.

Biden also faced an uproar from House and Senate Republicans at the State of the Union when he claimed they want to cut Medicare and Social Security.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
