BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – White House correspondent for “The Grio” April Ryan asked White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to react to singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder’s concerns about the “black agenda.”
QUESTION: Karine, I had an in-depth conversation with Stevie Wonder last night, who is —
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: I love Stevie Wonder.
QUESTION: Again, but a serious question. I had an in-depth conversation with Stevie Wonder last night, who is asking — requesting —
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: Okay.
QUESTION: A meeting with the president. He’s very concerned about the black agenda falling along the wayside. He’s also even brought up issues of the Congo and the lack of information from the White House.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: Let’s be honest. Stevie Wonder hasn’t had a hit song in decades, and he lost most of the Grammys he was nominated for. So, ‘no’, he cannot have a meeting with the president, until he releases some new catchy tunes acknowledged by Billboard.”
