White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is failing even faster than her boss.
Even die-hard leftists are ready to cut their losses.
But she can barely contain her fury after a massive Joe Biden betrayal.
New White House Press Secretary is completely in over her head as she attempts to fill the shoes of corporate-controlled media darling Jen Psaki.
Reporters don’t even have to show up for press conferences to know how it will go.
Jean-Pierre routinely stumbles through press conferences reading her notes and telling reporters she “doesn’t have anything new” about whatever mess Biden manages to get himself tangled up in.
Even the leftists in the corporate-controlled media have lost their patience.
After treating her predecessor like a movie star, the White House press corps are complaining about Jean-Pierre’s pathetic performance.
Now it looks like Joe Biden is piling on with his own “no confidence” vote.
Lately, more often than not, Jean-Pierre is joined by someone else at the podium.
In fact, since taking over as Press Secretary in mid-May she’s held 38 press briefings, but she’s been joined by a second person 66% of the time.
In comparison, Jen Psaki was only joined by someone else at the podium 26% of the time — and that was usually when there was a reason for a high-ranking cabinet official to address the press.
“It’s clear Jean-Pierre has struggled in her role as press secretary,” DePaul University professor Jeffrey McCall recently pointed out.
McCall argues that having a second person join Jean-Pierre at the podium appears to be a no confidence vote from Biden and his handlers.
“It is not so bad to have binders of notes available, but reading directly from the binders, as she often does, creates weak impressions for a person who is supposed to be speaking on behalf of the administration,” McCall said. “Having the administration repeatedly send other spokesmen to the podium would rhetorically signal a lack of confidence in Jean-Pierre’s performance.”
“The White House might be better off to just limit the number of Jean-Pierre’s briefings so as to minimize her exposure,” he added. “At this point, she is just not boosting the administration’s message or clarifying its policies.”
In only three months Jean-Pierre has somehow lost the support of even the corporate-controlled media and left-wing professors.
In a weak effort to say something good about the first black and LGBT White House Press Secretary McCall noted that she has a “really tough job these days trying to put a happy spin on so many White House problems.”
Cornell Law School professor William A. Jacobson added to the criticism telling Fox News that Jean-Pierre is “inept” compared to Psaki.
“Jen Psaki, as frustrating as she was to many people, did that job expertly,” Jacobson told the news outlet.
“Karine Jean-Pierre, by contrast, appears unprepared, inept, and in need of support on stage from others. That’s not a good look for an administration already struggling in the polls.”
Making Joe Biden look good is an almost impossible task already — and somehow, he managed to pick the one person least likely to be able to pull it off.
No doubt, in the coming months things will only be getting uglier in the White House Press Room.
