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 I’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.

Another said, “I honestly don’t see how hard it is for her. She either gives an answer from her binder, or more often than not she gives one of four “ non answer “ responses.“ I don’t have anything for you on that today.”  One person wrote, “Her job would be really easy if she was genuine, stopped giving non/evasive answers and didn’t lie every time she talks.”

As indicated by some responses to her comments about how tough her job is, answering for some of Joe Biden’s dubious comments and policies in a way that glorifies the president would be a challenge. For example, KJP was asked about Biden’s recent remarks about his “Uncle Bosie,” who served in World War II. The president made comments that suggested his relative could have been eaten by cannibals in Papa New Guinea.

“The President highlighted his uncle’s story as he made the case for honoring our sacred commitment to, to equip those we send to war and to take care of them and their families when they come home. And as he reiterated that the lasting American veterans are suckers or losers, and he wanted to make that clear. He wanted to make the story. I mean, look, I don’t have anything beyond me about what I just laid out. But it was a really proud moment for him. It was incredibly emotional. I think some of your colleagues is, as you know, Zeke, were there and they got to witness the president pray at the at the woman war memorial. Look for his uncle’s name, honor him,” she said in defense of Biden’s comments.

KJP concluded, “And I think we can’t we can’t forget that moment. And we cannot also forget what it means to be a commander in chief what it means to lift up our service members what it means to make sure that we respect their service and he made that contract very clear as to what we saw from the former president.”

“The President highlighted his uncle’s story as he made the case for honoring our sacred commitment to, to equip those we send to war and to take care of them and their families when they come home. And as he reiterated that the lasting American veterans are suckers or losers, and he wanted to make that clear. He wanted to make the story. I mean, look, I don’t have anything beyond me about what I just laid out. But it was a really proud moment for him. It was incredibly emotional.
