White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made headlines Monday for all the wrong reasons.
Last weekend, three American military personnel were killed. More than 40 others were injured with a drone attack. They were stationed at a U.S. outpost in northeastern Jordan. The US government said Iranian-backed extremists were responsible for the attack.
In an interview with MSNBC, Mr. Jean-Pierre spoke about the fallen soldiers, but seemed almost unable to formulate a coherent statement.
I just want to say, our deepest, um, of course, our deepest condolences, and our deepest condolences, uh, to the families of the deceased. To the, um, three, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three brave — three people who are military, brave and always fighting. The people, the people who are fighting on behalf of this administration, on behalf of the American people, obviously, it’s more important than that.
As the President said yesterday when he was in South Carolina, we have lost those souls. Our hearts go out to their families and friends. And let’s not forget that there are wounded soldiers and wounded service members, and our hearts go out to them. So we want to express our deep, um, deep, thoughtful condolences to them.
Not only was the interview a rambling mess, but Jean-Pierre also drew harsh criticism for describing the fallen soldiers as “soldiers” who fought for the Biden administration.
