    I’m saying she’s not very good because of her many gaffs and avoidance of questions.

    And why compare her to Boebert? Boebert is a shit stain who’s unqualified to work at a fruit stand, let alone be a congresswoman. You bring up her qualifications like you think it’s some new info.

    I don’t understand how people think this type of deflection is worth anything. “You think this person is bad, well what about this other person who’s WORSE?!” Yea, that doesn’t make the first person better. This isn’t a fucking grade school popularity contest.

      Boebert is the one calling her a DEI hire, meanwhile Jean-Pierre has a Masters degree from Columbia and years of relevant experience.

        I know people with PhDs and decades of experience that are still shit at their jobs.

        I haven’t watched any of the White House press events so I don’t know how good she is at her job, but just having a nice resume doesn’t mean shit.

      You seem to be treating it like it is.

      Yeah, totally unlike this very qualified white lady.
