White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s attempt to take credit for the “no tax on tips” proposal, which Kamala Harris recently espoused after Donald Trump introduced it earlier this summer, fell flat on Monday.
KJP says Biden supports no tax on tips after Kamala stole the policy from Trump.

Zeke Miller from AP questioned KJP on whether Biden would approve a bill prohibiting taxing tips.
HOLY SHLIT
The White House just said that Biden supports Trump’s NO TAX ON TIPS

“Over the weekend, Vice President said she would — she followed former President Donald Trump in saying she would support a proposal that would not tax hit wages. If such a — if a similar bill made its way to the President of the United States — President Biden — would he sign that? That’s something — not something he’s endorsed before,” Miller inquired.
Karine Jean-Pierre insisted that Joe Biden would wholeheartedly back the “no tax on tips” initiative, despite having approved legislation allowing IRS scrutiny on tipped employees.
The media’s newfound favoritism towards Trump’s ‘no tax on tips’ plan appears evident after Kamala Harris seemingly appropriated the idea.

Let’s not forget that Kamala Harris voted to let the IRS monitor workers’ tips for taxation, marking her support!
“Two years ago today, I proudly cast the tie-breaking vote to pass our Inflation Reduction Act,” proudly proclaimed Kamala Harris last week.
The so-called ‘Inflation Reduction Act’ ushered in over 80,000 fresh IRS agents to track tipped workers and $600 Venmo transactions.
As VP, Kamala was the deciding vote on the “Inflation Reduction Act” that gave the IRS $80 billion of your tax dollars to make sure they tax every tip workers earn! Kamala Harris is a total fraud! pic.twitter.com/U2mLctNwa9 [7]

“On this vote, the yay’s are 50, the nay’s are 50. The Senate being equally divided, the vice president votes in the affirmative and the bill as amended is passed,” Harris declared in the August 7, 2022, footage.
