She is well qualified and breaking new ground, I look forward to hearing from her.

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.

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.

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.

Yes Peter. People have the right to protest peacefully outside a restaurant as long as they aren't being violent or intimidating anyone. Just like people have the right to protest in front of the home of someone that works at an abortion clinic. Screw your obviously transparent one-way privacy concerns.

Scoop: White House elbows back on "MAGA" Hatch Act violation

The White House will continue to use the term "MAGA" a week after the independent Office of Special Counsel (OSC) declared that doing so is a violation of the Hatch Act, according to a new memo obtained by Axios.

Why it matters: Since last year, White House officials have repeatedly labeled GOP members in Congress as "MAGA Republicans" as part of a larger strategy to cast them as out of touch and extreme.

State of play: On June 7, in response to a watchdog complaint about press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's use of "MAGA Republicans," the OSC ruled that she violated the Hatch Act, which governs how federal employees can weigh in on political activities.
  • On the same day, the OSC sent guidance to agencies which stated that "MAGA" was off-limits because it was too closely connected with former President Trump's campaign for the White House.
  • "MAGA remains the campaign slogan of a current candidate for partisan political office, and therefore, its use constitutes political activity," the OSC wrote in the memo.
  • "Accordingly, federal employees should not use “MAGA” or “Make America Great Again” while on duty, in the workplace, or when acting in their official capacity, including communicating through social media, email, or on government websites."

Just use "lunatics" for "MAGA'... far more accurate descriptive.
