Biden's new press secretary can't fill even Psaki's shoes
"When you watch the full version of the press conference, you can see that Jean-Pierre does all right when she is allowed to offer canned answers to predictable questions from friendly journalists. It's when she gets the tough questions that you can see how inadequate she is for the job. Admittedly, I certainly couldn't do better, but then again, that's not my job. It's hers.
If press secretaries reflect an administration, Biden has just the right person in Jean-Pierre. She's driven by identity politics and otherwise knows nothing.
“Look, it’s not a huge mystery why one of the wealthiest individuals on Earth, right, opposes an economic agenda that is for the middle class that cut some of the biggest costs. Families face fights, inflation for the long haul. Right. And that’s what we’re talking about. That’s why we’re we’re talking about lowering inflation here and adds to the historic deficit reduction the president is achieving by asking the richest taxpayers and corporations to pay their fair share. That is what we’re talking about.”
"Does any of that sound familiar? If you have been keeping up with the feud between Bezos and the White House, it should. Jean-Pierre’s response was almost word-for-word the text of a statement released by the White House in response to Bezos’ criticisms. She was reading from the actual statement at the podium in an attempt to address Doocy’s question. In fact, during most of the conference, she had her eyes buried in her binder, reading off her notes to respond to questions."
