Jean-Pierre also during her regular briefing expressed outrage that Trump, according to Kelly, praised the loyalty of Adolf Hitler's generals.

"To be praising Adolf Hitler is dangerous and it's also disgusting," Jean-Pierre said.

Jean-Pierre also defended Biden's sharp comments during a Wednesday visit to New Hampshire, "We've got to lock him up" before adding, "Politically lock him up. Lock him out, that's what we have to do."

"He made very clear that he was referring to defeating Donald Trump," Jean-Pierre said.
