It’s got to be 50 shades of exhausting having to not just speak on behalf of Joe Biden but to cover for his incoherency and penchant for looking out of it and generally unwell. Couple that with having to spin his epic policy failures like the border crisis and the deadly Afghanistan debacle, and it pretty much becomes a no-win situation for those tasked with getting “the message” out, whatever it may be.
But that is what White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is paid a lot of money to do. And though she as one of his senior-most handlers hasn’t done it particularly well throughout her tenure as Biden’s second press secretary, it is her job description and one she wants people to believe she takes very seriously.
