It appears that KJP’s days are numbered as the White House press secretary, and that should come as no surprise to anyone.
KJP is horrible at her job, so horrible that it is painful to watch.
At least when Jen Psaki was at the helm, she actually was good at spinning lies and covering for Joe Biden, but KJP is a train-wreck.
In fact, KJP is so bad that the White House has brought over John Kirby from the State Department.
KJP is not a fluent liar as her predecessor, Psaki and this is in no way saying that I like the little freckled, red-headed liar.
The point is, that KJP is the opposite of all that.
Much like Biden and Kamala, Karine is a bumbling mess and a word salad tosser extraordinaire… and trust me, Team Biden wishes they never installed her at the helm.
A black lesbian woman is now the FIRST press secretary, and you know how Dems LOVE their “firsts,” but she sucks at her job….now what do they do?
Well, they get their good buddies in the media to trash her, then tell her she’s “resigning,” and put white, straight male John Kirby in her place.
And right on cue, here comes Politico with a hit piece.
The article is titled “Karine’s Tough Debut” and it’s written by not one, not two, but THREE reporters: MAX TANI, ALEX THOMPSON, and ALLIE BICE
Wow.
It’s been a rocky first month for White House press secretary KARINE JEAN-PIERRE.
Her answers have baffled reporters, and even made some of her White House colleagues wince. She has increasingly found herself sharing the podium or splitting briefings with JOHN KIRBY, who has been taking the lead on foreign policy and at times appears to function as a co-press secretary.
And Republicans have zeroed in on her as a useful punching bag.
Jean-Pierre officially took the podium in May, becoming the first Black and openly LGBTQ woman to hold a position long dominated by white men and women. She signed on as the administration faced a national infant formula shortage, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, soaring inflation and high gas prices, the ongoing war in Ukraine, gun violence, and bad poll numbers for the president.
Against such a difficult backdrop, her stumbles in several instances have made her appear underprepared — in moments quickly weaponized by the right.
She was unaware that Interior Secretary DEB HAALAND had tested positive for Covid and didn’t know Biden had been with Haaland two days before at a Memorial Day event. “Oh, were they?” she said, to which the reporter pointedly noted pictures of the pair.
And when asked that day about the president telling Naval Academy graduates that he had been appointed to the academy in 1965 — a claim met with skepticism — Jean Pierre said: “I didn’t hear that part of the speech.”
Reporters were confused by her refusal to answer questions at a recent briefing about the last time the president had been tested for Covid-19, something her predecessor regularly disclosed. (He tested negative, senior officials later told NBC News.)
The piece goes on to say that reporters behind the scenes are also complaining about her answers to their questions, claiming she’s vague and too rigid.
It’s gotten so bad that reporters are now quietly threatening not to attend the briefings.
