White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently appeared on a daytime talk show where she described how difficult her job is being a
spokeswoman for the Biden administration. However, KJP was subsequently criticized by conservatives online for this assertion.
Jean-Pierre noted that, in light of the challenging nature of speaking to the press on behalf of the White House, sometimes it is necessary to “have a little bit of fun.” She added that it is essential to “loosen up” before stepping up to the podium to field questions about the president
“The job is hard. The job is hard. It’s hard, not just for me, but for all of my colleagues. It’s it’s a difficult job, what we’re trying to do on behalf of the American people for this President. And so it is not easy. And so sometimes we try to like have a little bit of fun.
And so right before I walk out, we try to loosen up a little bit because what l’m about to experience at the podium is..It’s, it’s, it’s gonna be a journey, like it’s gonna be a journey,” KJP told the host.
Conservatives on social media were critical of KJP’s comments about the difficulty of her job. “I’m sure it is stressful when you have to lie all day covering for the dementia patient in charge!” one person commented, speculating on Biden’s mental health.
