It\u2019s a tight race. After Biden pulled ahead last Wednesday by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2022\/09\/28\/us\/politics\/biden-jackie-walorski.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">asking<\/a>, \u201cJackie, are you here?

It\u2019s the person whose job, you might think, exists to make the aforementioned stars of the White House blooper reel look better, to explain their mistakes, and to convey their intended messaging. It\u2019s the White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre \u2014 but instead of helping her bosses out, KJP seems to be taking lessons from them instead.<\/p>\n<h2>Walorski Was on Biden\u2019s Mind So Much, He Forgot She Died<\/h2>\n<p>Jean-Pierre took Biden\u2019s embarrassing \u201cwhere\u2019s Jackie?\u201d flub and made it worse last week. Instead of a simple admission that the president misspoke and an apology to the Walorski family \u2014 which Biden finally offered to them at the White House last Friday \u2014 Jean-Pierre demanded her listeners believe that it was totally logical for the president to call out to a deceased person.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe was on his mind, she was of top of mind for the president,\u201d Jean-Pierre <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_gG9txlUcu8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">insisted<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When pressed as to why, \u201cif the late congresswoman was top of mind for the president \u2026 why was he looking for her?\u201d Jean-Pierre doubled down. \u201cI think people can understand \u2026 when someone is at top of mind,\u201d she said. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s all that unusual.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like many of us have gone through that particular time where someone is on top of mind and you call them out and you mention\u201d them, she said again, failing to recognize that most of us have never thought about someone so much that we forgot she died. \u201cI don\u2019t find that confusing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Nordstrom 1\u2019<\/h2>\n<p>Earlier this month, Jean-Pierre told reporters that Russia had \u201cshut down the pipeline of Nordstrom 1,\u201d apparently mistaking the name of the Nord Stream pipeline for that of a department store.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Ten Thousand Million New Jobs!<\/h2>\n<p>Only days before her \u201cNordstrom\u201d gaffe, the White House press secretary boasted that the administration had created \u201cten thousand million jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have created nearly ten thousand million jobs since President Biden took office,\u201d she bragged, \u201cso you\u2019re asking me where is the success, here it is.\u201d Not only is \u201cten thousand million\u201d an improper way to say 10 billion, but \u2014 if that is what she meant \u2014 that would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/193953\/seasonally-adjusted-monthly-civilian-labor-force-in-the-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">60 times<\/a> the <em>total <\/em>number of people in America\u2019s civilian workforce.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"54M13voFemDwk86SLcpaTrIbtAlWnYUj7V9ZRxzNfQsPyghKJui\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre: &#8220;We have created nearly ten thousand million jobs since President Biden took office, which is the fastest job growth in history.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0SCnED2jiE\">pic.twitter.com\/0SCnED2jiE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breaking911 (@Breaking911) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Breaking911\/status\/1566516308694499331?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 4, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2>Biden Only Said Covid Is Over Because He Was Looking at Cars<\/h2>\n<p>After the president unequivocally <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/disclosetv\/status\/1571657276695388162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">declared<\/a> that \u201cthe pandemic is over,\u201d instead of standing by the remark \u2014 a sentiment with which millions of Americans agree \u2014 Jean-Pierre tried to convince MSNBC listeners that Biden only said what he did because he was looking at cars. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was walking through the Detroit car show, the halls of the Detroit car show, and he was looking around,\u201d was her non sequitur explanation for why Biden said what he did.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"83zOe7L0uYJ9QtaqmprTbPiSgU4hEGWDjB\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">WH <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PressSec?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@PressSec<\/a> says Biden didn&#8217;t actually mean the Covid pandemic is over despite saying it: &#8220;Just to step back for a second, when he made those comments, he was walking through the Detroit car show, the halls of the Detroit car show, he was looking around.&#8221;
