Karine Jean-Pierre calls herself a 'historic figure,' who 'cannot fail'

2023-06-18

[BLAZE] White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre called herself a "historic figure," who "cannot fail" in recent interviews with correspondents assigned to cover the White House.
Talking Mop says..
This week, Jean-Pierre gave an interview to theGrio — a self-described media network "focused on the African American community" and to amplify "black culture."

Gerren Keith Gaynor — a White House Correspondent for theGrio — interviewed Jean-Pierre for an article on the site titled: "Karine Jean-Pierre talks having ’swag’ and the hardest job in the White House."

Jean-Pierre told Gaynor, "Ron Klain, the former chief of staff, used to say to me, 'You have the hardest job in this building.'" She added, "It is not for everyone."
"You make Jen Psaki look competent. That's saying something!"
Gaynor wrote, "Speaking for the president sometimes includes defending him and his record when challenged by the press or others. Though it’s a position one could easily find daunting, Jean-Pierre acknowledged that her confidence, or as theGrio puts it, her 'swag' in the role has grown over time."

#13 The Sideshow Bob reference is so appropriate.

#12 #9 the difference between diversity Side Show Bob and Swervy Kirby is that Kirby is a High Functioning Sociopath, rather then a regular dumbass sociopath

#10 She will occupy an underwhelming position in the "History of the most mediocre."

#9 Don't have to like him, but when you see John Kirby at the podium and then see KJP, there is just no comparison.

#8 "...flailing chia pet of incompetent damage control" Okay, Super Hose, I will remember that one! They all want the (false) gravitas of Cronkite and the (real) paycheck of Stephanopolous.

#7 They all want to be Stephanopolos.

#6 Historic figure. Historically worse than Jen Psaki.

#5 Some journalist might track down Baghdad Bob for a curiosity piece like the magazine article of the Hillbilly that took hostages at the golf club to try to get Ronald Reagan to talk to him. At best, KJP has a future like the Thamesmen after her obligatory cable news show fails.

#4 Baghdad Bob was pretty much front and center for history. He didn't make it, but he sure is remembered.

#3 Everyone participates in history to some small extent. House Press Secretaries are on the apparatchik level with respect to creating history. A baseball equivalent would be a utility infielder on the AAA roster. Press Secretaries might appear in a video about a historical event not because they are making history themselves but because they belch out historical statements in an atmosphere of chaos as presidencies have bad stuff happen. KJP thinks that she is a historical figure due to her identity, but her biography will reside in the 40% off pile in Barnes and Nobles until they pulp the majority of the printing. She will appear in plenty of historical video, though, as a kind of a flailing chia pet of incompetent damage control while the Biden regime unravels in slow motion like the wreck of Steve Austin’s space vehicle.

#2 ^ But "on the down-low." Now, "in your face" is what they aspire to.

#1 Black, gay, in the White House...I think that's been done.
