Fox News host Tucker Carlson stated on Tuesday that new White House press secretary Karine jean-Pierre is “perfect for the job” because “She’s in the right group” and to the Biden administration,”the group is all that matters.”
“Karine Jean-Pierre is our first out LGBTQ+ White House Press Secretary and that’s all you need to know,” Carlson said. “It’s a good thing, shut up and celebrate.”
“That’s why she got the job,” Carlson continued. “She’s in the right group and so the Biden administration, which thinks exclusively in terms of groups and never in terms of individuals because individuals are messy and inconvenient, the group is all that matters.”
“This is exactly how they pick Supreme Court justices or vice presidents or members of the Federal Reserve Board,” the popular cable news host noted. “And now, the all-important press secretary gig has gone to someone on the basis of group. It’s really simple, show us your picture and we’ll tell you if you’re qualified for the job. And in many ways, Karine Jean-Pierre is perfect for the job.”
Whine about race all the time, and you get into good schools, you get promoted and eventually you run the federal government. Why wouldn't you do it? Karine Jean-Pierre used to work for MSNBC, so she's perfected the script.https://t.co/6beJH0CJuK pic.twitter.com/69DLk6IKld

“Not only is she a member of the out LGBTQ+ community, she’s also, critically, the product of a private school and an Ivy League college and yet still oppressed somehow,” Carlson said.
Jean-Pierre, who used to work in left-wing corporate media, has a history has a history of amplifying fringe misinformation such as the false claim that the 2016 election was “stolen” by president Donald Trump.
Beyond claiming the 2018 Georgia election was "stolen," the new White House Press Secretary also spread serious doubts about the legitimacy and integrity of American democracy by saying Trump wasn't really president because he stole the 2016 election:https://t.co/yo1Y28HBSa

“She is furious at America despite her ample privilege and enraged by its racist systems of oppression,” Carlson concluded. “And she’s happy to tell you about it.”
