Katie Miller blasted former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on CNN for using her identity as an LGBTQ+ black woman to boost her career.

Stunned CNN host Jake Tapper was forced awkwardly cut to commercial when Miller - wife of Trump aide Stephen Miller - called Jean-Pierre 'incompetent' and claimed she only got her White House gig because she was a 'black, queer, LGBTQ woman.'

'What I think you're seeing is that she's quite incompetent to do the job,' Miller said.

'This is what Republicans have been saying for years now, she is just another evidence that DEI doesn't work, whether that's, you know, an air traffic controller, an air pilot, whether that's your doctor. You know, you want to hire the best for the role, not just based on skin color,' she added.

Miller was challenged by former Hillary Clinton spokesperson Karen Finney as to why Jean-Pierre - a black queer woman - was a DEI hire but current White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wasn't.

'You know, gay woman is DEI, but a white woman who is behind the podium right now, which DEI initially started as affirmative action, which was about affirmatively hiring women and minorities, why is one DEI and the other is not?'

'Why did she get the job over John Kirby? Because as everyone has said this week, she is woefully incompetent,' Miller replied.

'Why is she trained every four sentences to say she is a Black, queer, LGBTQ woman? Because that's how she's been promoted her entire career.'

Tapper then awkwardly cut the segment and went to commercial break.

In her defense, if she was a Biden hire, “incompetant” is on-brand. Don’t want to show up the Big Guy.

Queers...

Jake Tapper is a cockroach, and like a cockroach, he runs from the truth like a cockroach from a light.

She’s also an immigrant. If she weren’t born in Haiti, the Democrats could run her for President. She would be the most articulate black woman they had nominated.

Perfect and spot-on

[Bon of Babble]

Beyond obvious that the incompetent Karine Jean-Pierre was a DEI hire who ticked off the correct boxes for the Biden admin.

[Wallace T.]

That is assuming that Kamala Harris is black. The sub-Saharan African component of her DNA is probably about like that of Pope Leo XIV.

[KarlInOhio]

To be fair, she had a job like the stadium announcer for an 0-16 football team where the mascot has to keep the head coach from wandering off in the middle of the game and she’s not supposed to mention that he lost his pants sometime in the second quarter.

An excellent use of sports as metaphor to illustrate reality…BRAVO!! 👍👍👍

As soon as the truth rears its head, they run away.

“Stephen Miller’s wife claims“

Cute how The Mail uses the word “claims”

[Truthsearcher]

So she’s just Stephen Miller’s wife now? She doesn’t even get to have her name in the title of an article about her? How patriarchal of the Daily Mail.
