Karine Jean-Pierre is really bad at her job. She assumed her position in May, and the first thing she did was read from her briefing book, listing all of her qualifications. She told us she’s a black, lesbian immigrant. That’s it for qualifications. She checked the diversity boxes, and that was it. Much like Kamala Harris – instead of being picked for competency, Jean-Pierre was picked because of what she is, not what she accomplished.
She has admirers. It’s usually people like “kingofoneself.” He’s a TikTok star, with 2.7 million followers. In May, he posted a rant praising Jean-Pierre’s gifts. Like Whoopi Goldberg praising Dr. Jill for being an “amazing doctor,” Kingofoneself praised Jean-Pierre for her phantom skills. He said:
“[Y]ou know there are racist white women who are pissed because they said we are in spaces that they said, we would never be…because she back and she gay, so you know they will come for her.”
Well, everyone, both publicly and privately, “came for her.” They came for her, not because she’s a black or gay person, or an immigrant – they “came for her” because she’s awful at her job. White House reporters see her as incompetent and over-her-head, and they are ones asking softball questions of her. About the only person who seems determined to ask her a question “outside the box” is Pete Doocy of Fox News.
Doocy just owned @PressSec so bad that she literally just stuttered and lied about inflation:
KJP: “[The American Rescue Plan] led to this historic economic boom that we’re seeing with jobs.”
Doocy: “Didn’t it also lead to historic inflation?”
KJP: “No.” pic.twitter.com/XhcodK3vaw

Jean-Pierre being incompetent became instantly apparent. Every answer that has any semblance of coherency is read from her tabbed briefing book. If she is asked a question that fits with a canned answer, she will quote from her book. She only looks up to see if the press are still in the room. She gestures with her hands for emphasis. It’s not quite as irritating as Jen Psaki’s hair-flips, but at least Psaki was a competent liar.
Jen Psaki is a skilled communicator. That’s not to say that Psaki wasn’t a skilled liar – she was – but at least one could watch Psaki without thinking we were watching a fourth-grader pee her pants in the middle of a recital.
Jean-Pierre might check all the diversity boxes, but she checks no competency boxes. She cannot communicate a coherent position outside of what’s written for her, without completely murdering the answer. If a canned answer isn’t in the briefing book, she’ll wing it to disastrous effect. She’s really bad at her job.
Oh July 29th, I saw an old tweet from Jean-Pierre and responded with an objective fact.
You are remarkably bad at your job

Her response was to block me.
I should have expected it – aversion to objective truth seems to be viral infection with Joe’s administration
She’s also can’t be fired. Jean-Pierre is a black, gay immigrant. That carries three layers of “unfirebility.” She’s checks most of the diversity boxes, and she’s incompetent to boot–making her a perfect fit for this administration.
