Karine Jean-Pierre heard this grim prediction about her future
Karine Jean-Pierre’s tenure as White House press secretary will mercifully come to an end on January 20.
Jean-Pierre will have to figure out what comes next.
And Karine Jean-Pierre heard this grim prediction about her future.
Karine Jean-Pierre is a laughably incompetent White House press secretary.
Jean-Pierre is infamous for delivering nonsensical, rambling responses when forced to answer a question that she can’t read a prepared reply from the white binder she drags with her to every briefing.
With just weeks remaining in her tenure behind the podium, the Daily Caller asked an assortment of media experts where Jean-Pierre would turn up next.
Most predicted she would land at one of the dying cable news networks like CNN or MSNBC.
Both have seen rating declines of around 50 percent in primetime since the election and are looking for any kind of shot in the arm.
“She’ll go where all the other failed Hollywood actors go when they’re useless to the deep state: a cable chat show that exclusively exists to sell weird books and products to lonely women,” former Daily Caller reporter Kay Hill told her old employer.
Newsbusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck also figured she would end up on CNN or MSNBC.
“I fully anticipate someone will hire her as a contributor, whether it be a return to MSNBC or even CNN,” Houck said to the Daily Caller.
But Houck said Jean-Pierre would bomb on cable news as the format requires you to think on your feet and extend beyond your talking points, two skills Jean-Pierre never once demonstrated during her time as White House press secretary.
“In a merit-based world, Karine Jean-Pierre would be unemployable in TV news,” Houck continued. “It’s still remarkable to me that she spent years as an established cable news pundit and sitting for lengthy segments where guests would have to think on their feet and go beyond talking points.”
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway said Jean-Pierre was so “dumb” and “dishonest” that she was a perfect fit for a main job on a network newscast.
“KJP was so dumb, so dishonest, and so bad at her job that I can only assume she’ll have a show on CBS News next year,” Hemingway predicted.
CNN’s Scott Jennings was far less charitable.
Jennings declared that Jean-Pierre had no real future because Americans would always see as the fact of the lies about how Joe Biden was mentally fit to be President.
“Where do you go to wash off the catastrophic amount of lying she did to the American people about Biden’s condition?” Jennings wondered.
The line that will come back to haunt Jean-Pierre is when she declared that videos showing Biden’s obvious decline were cheap fakes.
“Ironically several cheap fakes actually attack the president for thanking troops, that is what they are attacking the president for. Both in Normandy this happened and again in Italy. I think it tells you everything that we need to know about how desperate Republicans are here. And instead of talking about the president’s performance in office, and what I mean by that is his legislative wins, what he’s been able to do for the American people across the country, we’re seeing these deep fakes, these manipulated videos. And it is, again, done in bad faith,” Jean-Pierre told reporters.
Most Americans will never believe anything Jean-Pierre says about spouting off that falsehood.
Any news network looking to hire Jean-Pierre will have to take that reality into account.
