 [Blaze] White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre
| ...who for a presidential spokesperson has wonderful hair... |
went viral on Monday for all of the wrong reasons.
Over the weekend, three American servicemen were killed and more than 40 others were injured in a drone attack. They were stationed at a U.S. outpost in northeast Jordan. The U.S. government said Iran-supported militants were responsible for the attack.
During an interview on MSNBC, Jean-Pierre spoke about the fallen soldiers — but appeared nearly unable to piece together a coherent statement.
What I will say, our deepest, uh, obviously, our deepest condolences go out and our heartfelt condolences go out to the families, uh, who lost, uh, three, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three brave — three folks who are military folks who are brave, who are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf of this administration, of the American people, obviously, more so, more importantly.
Uh, we lost those souls as the president said yesterday when he was in South Carolina. Our hearts go out to their families and friends. And let's not forget: there are wounded, also wounded soldier, military forces as well, and our hearts go out to them, and so I want to make sure that we offer up those deep, uh, deep thoughtful condolences to them.
The interview drew sharp rebuke, not only for being a rambling mess, but because Jean-Pierre described fallen soldiers as "military folks" who fought for the Biden administration.
