Karine Jean-Pierre Will Replace Jen Psaki As White House Press Secretary

Jean-Pierre will be the first Black woman and the first openly LGBTQ+ person to hold the position.

President Joe Biden on Thursday named Karine Jean-Pierre to be the next White House press secretary, with incumbent Jen Psaki set to leave the role next week.

“Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people,” Biden said in a statement praising Jean-Pierre, who has served as Biden’s principal deputy press secretary since Inauguration Day.

Biden is also bringing back longtime Democratic strategist Anita Dunn as his senior adviser. She had served in the Biden White House last year for several months after Biden was sworn into office.

I really liked her on. MSNBC, very sharp. She also has a lovely voice. And balls the size of church bells. She practically body blocked a protester at a campaign event when he rushed the stage and got within feet of Kamala Harris.

She's not very good. She has a misguided sense of confidence that isn't backed up with true capability. Her words sound impressive, until you try to make sense of them. Lots of fluff. And the stronger press people will destroy her. Hell, even that Fox douche will give her a run for her money.

LGBTQ+ crap is a homophobic mission to erase (obscuring, blurring, queering) the homosexuals/gays and homosexuality. You don't need any proof to claim bisexuality or queerness. Thus, anyone with a hetero partner (Bi, Queer, Pan, +) can claim to be this "LGBTQ+ person" and be legitimately accepted and celebrated by this braindead "LGBTQ+"-word users.

Honey, stop playing dumb. Democrats don’t care about qualifications. This is on them and then alone, not all white people. Democrats love having token minorities. They’ll have another tranny hire soon. This is like when Republicans chose Sarah Palin because she was a woman after Hillary dropped out.

The White House defended President Joe Biden's economic record on Monday as the nation experienced historic inflation, gas prices over $5 a galloon and the stock market dropping.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre argued President Biden actually made historic economic gains, which would help the American people go through these economic 'challenges.'

The American people are well positioned to face these challenges because of the economic historic gains that we have made under this president in the last six months,' she noted.

[quote]As a result of the Hamas terrorist attacks, communities and families are grieving. For the past month, the families of those who have been taken hostage have lived in agony. Tearing down pictures of their loved ones - who are being held hostage by Hamas - is wrong and hurtful.

How hard was it to say "wrong" when asked the question? Like when she was asked specifically about antisemitism and rambled on about islamophobia, her brain can't function properly on this matter.
