Groundhog Day: Nation Amazed by KJP’s Complete Inability to Answer Questions
Karine Jean Pierre, White House press secretary, was bashed Monday for her explanation of the revelation that there were three Chinese spy ballons in Trump’s administration. She wasn’t informed.
Over the weekend, a Chinese spy balloon flew over the United States. It was finally shot down. The incident caused outrage in Capitol Hill. It left Americans puzzled as to why the spy ballon wasn’t caught earlier or stopped from flying over large areas of the country. On Saturday, a defense official stated that three Chinese spy balloons have briefly flown over the United States under the Trump administration. Trump and his top defense and national security officials told Fox News Digital that they were never briefed on any Chinese spy flights during Trump’s tenure.
Jean-Pierre was asked by a reporter to answer questions during the White House press conference. “How is it possible that this administration discovered at least three previous balloons that flew over the U.S. under the previous administration, but Trump officials didn’t know it was happening?”

Karine Jean Pierre was awkwardly unable to answer a question regarding a major story at her press conference.
Jean-Pierre’s offered an unclear response.
“Yeah, so, look, I think that — and we have talked about this before, about how the — when it — when the PRC government surveillance balloons transited the continental U.S. briefly at least three times, as you just mentioned, during the President’s — the prior administration and once that we know of the beginning of this administration’s,” She spoke. “But never for this duration of time, as we know.”
Conservatives did not find her answer convincing.
Former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker tweeted, “What a load of crap.”
“It’s so cringe to watch her lie, deflect, mumble, stumble, make it up as she goes along and ignore adult questions,” Cheryl Riley, public relations specialist, tweeted

Independent Women’s Forum fellow Erin Perrine slammed the spokeswoman for not appearing prepared for the question.
“KJP does a disservice when she does not prep on simple questions like this. It has been news today that Trump admin officials were on the record saying these types of Chinese balloons did not happen then,” She tweeted. “Seriously folks. Not hard to guess what questions might come up. Prep.”
“Are you telling me there is not a single person in the administration who could do a better job that this?,” Tom Bevan is co-founder of RealClearPolitics and President.
Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich tweeted, “They’re making this up to somehow make Biden’s disastrous and embarrassing response better. It’s pathetic and dangerous.”

Podcaster Joe Miller III made an old school comparison to criticize Jean-Pierre’s job performance.
“I dont mean to be political or mean but every time she is challenged on a question she sounds like Dick Harper in the Moneyline interview in Fun With Dick and Jane,” He wrote. “Its uncomfortable.”
