In her defense of the pardon, Jean-Pierre appealed to the American people's understanding of the "difficult" decision. While doing so, she cited a poll, the results of which were the opposite of what she claimed.
"I think it's important to note here, as you're asking me these questions " important questions to ask " that there was a poll, a U.S. Gov [sic] poll that came out that, some of you all reported on it," she said.
"And it said 64% of the American people agree with the pardon " 64% of the American people. So, we get a sense of where the American people are on this. Obviously, it's one poll, but it gives you a little bit of insight. Sixty-four percent is nothing to sneeze at," she emphasized.
She later again said, "I called out the U.S. Gov [sic]. poll where 64% of Americans, that's not a small number, agree with the president's decision to pardon his son."
