Jean-Pierre Nearly Breaks Internet After She Calls Biden ‘Best Communicator’

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been, by any reasonable standard, pathetically bad at her job, stammering and stuttering her way through what should be simple responses to direct questions.
She did so again this past week when, during an interview with MSNBC, she could not explain NORAD — the North American Aerospace Defense Command — in coherent terms and, during the explanation, even butchered the name of Canada, calling it “Canadia.”
But she really outdid herself on Tuesday when she claimed — with a straight face — that her boss, President Joe Biden, who himself has often struggled with words and expressions, was the “best communicator” in his administration.
Newsmax reporter James Rosen stated during the White House press briefing on Tuesday, “There’s obviously a variety of [communication] settings the president can employ: set pieces, impromptu remarks, teleprompter, no teleprompter, et cetera, et cetera.”
Rosen then asked Jean-Pierre, “Is it the view of the president’s communications team that he is equally adept in all settings in terms of communications? Or are there some that play to greater strengths or some where he probably isn’t as strong, et cetera?”
Jean-Pierre responded pointedly: “I will tell you this: The president is the best communicator that we have in the White House.”

“Many online mocked the press secretary over her suggestion, with some referencing instances from Biden’s lengthy history of plagiarized speeches, gaffes, bouts of incoherence, and apparent memory lapses,” The Blaze responded.
Townhall columnist Brad Slager tweeted, “Good for her – the first step is admitting you have a problem.”
Steve Guest, special adviser for communications for GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, added, “The guy can’t utter coherent sentences on a regular basis… but at least he hasn’t called Canada ‘Canadia.'”
Jimmy Failla noted, “KJP says Joe Biden is the best communicator in the White House. And apparently Hunter is the most sober person in the White House.”
Meanwhile, RNC Research, a Twitter account managed by the Republican National Committee, wasted no time in posting a compilation of Biden’s past efforts to communicate, which was an effective rebuttal to her claim:

Per the Blaze, here are just a few more of Biden’s gaffes, misstatements, and moments of incoherence:
— In a December speech to U.S. veterans in New Castle, Delaware, Biden confused his wife’s father for her grandfather, made an implausible claim about how his uncle was awarded the Purple Heart, and told tall tales about how many trips he had made to Iraq and Afghanistan, all before saying, “I may be Irish, but I’m not stupid.”
— Biden told Democrat supporters during a November rally in San Diego that “we’re gonna free Iran,” reportedly negating weeks of work by U.S. officials to carefully counter the Iranian regime’s narrative that America was steering the Persian protests.
— Biden addressed an audience member during a speech at the National Education Association headquarters in Washington, D.C., in September, saying, “We go back a long way. She was 12, I was 30, but anyway.” The comment was met with applause, but it prompted some to mull over the president’s meaning.
— In a November stump speech, Biden confused the Russian war with Ukraine with the U.S. war in Iraq and then falsely claimed his son died in the Iraq War.
