Did you complain about Stephanie Grisham being qualified, seems to me you are assuming this woman is unqualified based on race.
No, it doesn't mean that at all. It just shouldn't be the primary criterion entering into a selection. Just get the best person, regardless of gender or color. I don't know much about the new press secretary, but Biden has made a LOT of selections of outlier people - homosexuals, trans people, whatever.

With Psnarky, one would ask whether she ever told the truth. Has she ever said anything truthful?

But speaking of not daring to question Jean-Pierre, what difference would it make?
Kayliegh lied. As examples:

1. McEnany falsely stated that Trump never downplayed the coronavirus.

2. She backed Trump's false claims about the Mueller report. She said Trump was completely exonerated, when in fact the report said:"“Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations.”


3. McEnany pushed Trump's lies about the 2020 election.

4. McEnany, like Trump, exaggerated numbers. ie: "1 million MAGA march participants?

5. She falsely claimed that Trump was the first president to put a red ribbon on the White House for AIDS awareness. (Both Bush and Obama did the same)

There are many more, but those stand out.

Who said that was the only criteria for selection, what was the criteria for Stephanie Grisham, what were her qualifications.

You don't know the criteria for selection for her or any of the others but suddenly it's an issue.

It's hardly surprising that the 12/13 shot pays off a lot more often than the 1/13 shot.

In the not-too-distant past white males made up about 45% of the population, not 30%.
So doing the math even assuming 45%, what are the odds that just about every press secretary came up white male over the last several decades. What about the other 55%, seems like more than a few should have been selected. Pretty much only white male only two women were selected prior to 2007 what are the odds that there were that many white males selected.


Also just because they are in the 7% minority why is it hard to fathom that they are qualified, no other selections in the past had this type of criticism.

Who are these people pushing this? Even some hard-core leftists I know are backtracking on this issue. Apparently either the Biden puppet masters or woke elitists are very out of touch.

Or maybe they're secretly racist, and are picking the least qualified box-checkers in order to create this backlash? Shades of Princess Bride, lol. "So I can clearly not choose the glass in front of me."

Ok.

I'm not sure about your point 3. I know (saw on youtube) how he was claiming the election was stolen, displaying a polling tally chart that clearly showed a mysterious jump in Biden votes at 4:00 in the morning.

Something like this one;



He did go on and on about it but he had a point. But Ok.

Karine Jean-Pierre will be the first black woman and the first openly LGBT person to hold the position.
Her "press conference" was one of the most peculiar ever conducted.

She was unable to speak freely and had to read from cue cards. Even more hilarious was when she read the wrong cue cards for the question at hand!

People will rush to defend her, as she is a black female; however, let's face it- she is an idiot and even worse than the Bride of Chucky.
