In a very funny incident during the November 12 White House Press Briefing, Fox News Channel Senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy got in a spat with White House Press Secretary KJP that ended in KJP giving absurd answers. That then led to some very funny comments online, as people called out how underqualified KJP is.
Doocy began the spat by asking, “And we know that today, a week after the election, President Biden and Vice President Harris had a private lunch. How awkward was that?” KJP snapped, “I don’t even understand. Why would it — why would it be awkward?” Doocy told her, “Because the president got squeezed out for her and then she kept him at arm’s length and then she lost, and now she’s back.”
KJP fired back, “But why would — why would you characterize it as awkward? They have regular lunches. They meet and talk regularly. Why would you call it awkward?” Doocy followed up with her by next asking, “So, there’s no weirdness about the way that things have unfolded since July 21st?”
Sounding off, she said, “Did you see them — did you see them together yesterday as well, when they honored our veterans and were together during the day, making sure that we didn’t forget the brave men and women that fought for this country? Did you see them together yesterday? Did you see the — the show of force together?”
She concluded, “This is — look, I’m not even going to take the premise of this — the question. What I will say is the president and the vice president had lunch today. They’ve had lunch many times. They have — they communicate with each other regularly. They had an opportunity to discuss the last 70 days or so of this administration, how important it is to get things done for the American people, and that’s their focus. That is genuinely their focus.”
So, it was a ridiculous answer from the always absurd press secretary. That didn’t go unnoticed on X (formerly Twitter). Chiming in on the matter was the “Captive Dreamer” X account. He wrote, very funnily drawing attention to KJP’s immense shortcomings, “Hilarious exchange. Karine Jean-Pierre is laughably unqualified for this role.”
Replying to him, one commenter said that her response was so bad that it was hard to tell if KJP was being ironically buffoonish or not, but that the incident was, regardless of intent, extremely funny, “I’m not sure if it’s ironically or unironically, none the less, this is the funniest thing I’ve seen today.”
And, also roasting KJP for her utter incompetence at the job, another commenter on Captive Dreamer’s post about KJP wrote that KJP always does a certain thing far too late in her response when arguing with Doocy. That commenter said, “She’s always having to remind herself out loud and far too late to reject the premise of the question 😂” Another commenter joked, “Trump should keep her on for laughs.”
