New White House Press Secretary Faces Steep Learning Curve
RCP ^ | 22 June 2022 | Adeline Von Drehle

Posted on 06/23/2022 5:41:55 AM PDT by Rummyfan

The ballroom at the Mandarin Oriental brimmed with women in power suits, patiently awaiting the keynote panel of the nonprofit All In Together’s “Black Women Lead” event last week. April Ryan, a veteran White House correspondent for The Grio, sat down to interview Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about her new position.

“It is awesome to be outside of that press briefing room,” Ryan laughed. “Yeah,” Jean-Pierre said with a sigh, “it is.”

Jean-Pierre took her seat just 20 days earlier, a new player at the table who found herself holding a weak hand. Voters are alarmed about inflation, baby formula shortages, and soaring gasoline prices, and the White House press corps was demanding answers from the president’s spokeswoman.

It’s clear that Jean-Pierre is “not as adept at the podium as her predecessor, Jen Psaki,” a member of the White House press corps told RCP. “I mean, she’s definitely risk-averse, as far as being very careful not to step in it.” But good poker players know that the game has an element of risk.

So much wrong in this piece. I think it has been obvious from Daay One she is in over her head, having been given the job because of race and sexual orientation. But as Harry Truman said, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

And also, if you want a friend in this town, get a dog.

Don't go woke.

Let’s be honest, she is horrible at the job that she got because of her skin color and sexual preferences.

Like a token?? I wouldn’t want a token job. Party will forever be indebted to her. Worthless piece of garbage...

Well,it *was* refreshing to hear her admit the other day that The Big Guy is striving to elevate the suffering of the American people. It doesn't happen often but occasionally a Rat Party hack will utter the truth. Like in this case...or when Little Chrissy Matthews admitted that Saul Alinsky was one of his heroes...or when The Big Guy admitted that he had assembled the most comprehensive voter fraud operation in history.

Not as adept as the inept Psaki, that is. The bar is covered by top soil at this point.

She is incapable of learning, since her idiocy was identified by her being picked to serve in the most ignorant and corrupt White House staff in the history of the multiverse.

I know a few blacks - both men and women (being intelligent, NONE ‘identify’ with word-masturbation pronouns). ALL are far far, more intelligent and educated than this poor, sick woman. And - all of them share my opinions of her.

I heard a news report yesterday that mentioned Karine Jean-Pierre and I legitimately thought it was John Kerry’s new pronoun. Not even joking.

From what I’ve seen, tying her shoes would be a steep learning curve.

“Steep learning curve,” meh.

Every new job is like that. Trial by fire. No big deal. Some workers thrive in that environment, others don’t. In time she’ll gain the ability to learn and repeat the narrative lines. It’s an acting job, after all. If she’s not up to the acting, shuffle her off to some production role.

Seriously. I thought it was the job of the press to craft the narrative, anyway. The press needs to do a better job of teaching her highness how to act the part of foil.

It would have been too much to expect for the Biden team to hire somebody with proven experience in handling a press conference.

It’s not like there aren’t 50 governors with experienced press secretaries who would like to move up.

But, noooo. They had to go triple-Affirmative-action (black/female/lesbian).

Hey, give her a break. She can read answers to questions that have been predistributed as well as anyone in the Biden administration.

She is the result of low expectations birthed by "infirmative action". It's sad really, because she truly thinks she's "special", having been lied to throughout her life by people who pandered to her delusions of greatness.

Talent and wisdom are not bestowed ... but she is told constantly that she was born with these attributes that, for others, take decades of hard work and experience to even begin to achieve.

No, not “lead” as in “be in front of,” but rather “lead” as in dark, soft, heavy, hazardous metal.

Nowhere on the planet do Deep States hire the front office appearance types for brains.
