White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has racist Tourette’s Syndrome. Every time she sees something she doesn’t like she automatically calls it racist. She can’t help it, as it must be a neurological issue. For no sane person would do this intentionally. Tucker Carlson explains.

Carlson: Believe it or not, in 1980, which wasn’t that long ago, Venezuela was the richest country in Latin America. It had the highest wages. It had the best health care and education. It also had, by the standards of the region anyway, a famously stable democracy. Then came an energy crisis, and Venezuela wound up with inflation. At times, it reached 100% a year. Inflation makes people poor. So, in a very short time, the poverty rate in Venezuela doubled.
By 1995, 66% of all Venezuelans were impoverished. Getting poorer tends to make voters radical. So inevitably, Venezuela got radical politics. You know what happened next. Venezuela is now rated one of the most miserable places on planet Earth. A few years ago, citizens in Caracas were reduced to eating zoo animals. There was no food and for that matter, there was no electricity. So, in just half a lifetime, an advanced society had reverted to the Stone Age.
The United States is not in danger of becoming Venezuela next week, but we are moving closer to it. Inflation is a big part of the reason. Of all the economic crises the country can face, inflation is the most dangerous. Inflation doesn’t just make people poor. It totally destroys their confidence in their leaders, the authorities who issued the now worthless currency they’re using for toilet paper. Inflation is not an act of God like a drought or hurricane. It’s an act of negligence, like drunk driving. It is proof that the people in charge are reckless and stupid. That’s why inflation tends to topple governments.
Once you get inflation, there’s no pretending you’ve done a good job. You have not done a good job and everybody knows it.
So, you can see why the Biden administration is very worried about this. Joe Biden has historically low approval ratings. Voters say inflation is their top concern. Those two facts are directly related. Biden’s most pressing task right now is reassuring Americans that he understands they’re suffering under inflation and under a rapidly worsening economy, and he’s got a plan to fix it. If he can’t convince Americans of that, it may be a long time before we have another Democratic president.
Thankfully, Joe Biden has a plan, or at least a new publicist, a silver-tongued wordsmith/policy guru called Karine Jean-Pierre. It is Karine Jean-Pierre’s job to take this message of economic hope to the American people and save the Biden administration. She started Monday. Here were her first words from the podium.
KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts. I am a Black, gay, immigrant woman, the first of all three of those to hold this position.
So, that was a little confusing. It wasn’t actually about America. It was about her, but still, we learned that Karine Jean-Pierre is a Black lesbian, the first-ever in history, she reminded us, to hold this particular job. Listen carefully. That shattering you hear in the background, it’s a thousand glass ceilings cracking simultaneously into millions of tiny pieces and then being swept with the custodians of tomorrow into the trash bin of bigotry and hate. Soon they’ll be trucked to a landfill and buried.
It’s a new day, America. How do you feel? You still can’t afford to have your refrigerator fixed or go to the dentist. On the other hand, Karine Jean-Pierre has good news for you about herself. Karine Jean-Pierre has just reached a highly significant personal goal and understandably, she’s brimming with self-esteem. Congratulations, Karine Jean-Pierre. Your promotion is America’s promotion. Hope it feels good. You’re going to want to hold on to that sensation, the one you’re now experiencing, and treasure it in the days ahead like a hand warmer as America becomes poorer than you ever imagined possible, and it is.

Very imaginatively written piece. While “first words” are vitally important, what is more important is timing. In music, the “right” chord at the wrong time creates dissonance. Jean Pierre, if she is aware, just broke what harmony of service would be found in her future. Just because she is Black does not excuse her incompetence. Just because she is gay does not excuse her incompetence. Just because she is an immigrant does not excuse her incompetence. The pattern is painful.
The word RACIST has become meaningless. It’s used for everything now since Obammy came along and made it his most favorite word.
Democrats have an answer for everything and the solution to nothing, this black LgBTQ press woman is just another bizarre appointment in the Mongo and Loid administration
Anybody the Biden Administration appoints now I just ignore like the majority of Americans. His appointments are like his presidency. Flawed.
What the Hey! Its the new Democrat party and their OLD dufus leader, Biden ! ! !
Is it Racist that a unskilled Black, Gay Creature gets a Job, that should not even have been offered?
OK. So she’s a queer bigoted pervert. Bite-Me Biden’s entire administration is full of them. Nothing new here.
If everything is Racist, then nothing is Racist !
