Karine Jean-Pierre: White House Press Secretary
She is well qualified and breaking new ground, I look forward to hearing from her.

Re: Karine Jean-Pierre: White House Press Secretary
Good for her. I remember back when Kamala was running for president and at some event a heckler jumped on stage and tiny Karine was fearless walking him back.

Fearless and fierce.

Re: Karine Jean-Pierre: White House Press Secretary
Karine has subbed for Psaki maybe half a dozen times. She's been "okay" on the scale of lousy to psaki, IMO. Very, very low key. She did not seem to have a strong grasp of data or the ability to push back on the stupid. I didn't think she was a natural, and will be interested to see how she does. I wish her the best!

I haven't seen the video yet so I'm not sure how they are framing it exactly. But yeah. That didn't take long.

Sarah Huckabee-Sanders and Sean Spicer think new Press Sect Karine Jean-Pierre is doing poorly. Sanders: “The difference is, Sean and I had a good story to tell, and she doesn’t .. She’s gonna have to step up and get a little bit tougher and more aggressive.”

Apparently, their bar for "doing a good job" is how combative someone is.

Re: Karine Jean-Pierre: White House Press Secretary
And for the record, Karine has done two pressers that I recall, and, to be fair. possibly a third that I don't recall. Meaning, max three.
Two (possible three) pressers.
No sample size too small.

To be fair, they'd decided she was bad a nanosecond after she was named.

The MAGA crowd is whining that Jean-Pierre just keeps lying. It's as though they don't know that Huck and what's her name were lying liars who lied.Phoenix520 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 02, 2022 4:16 pm I can’t wait to see how Huckleberry handles comments on her job as Governor.
