Karine Jean-Pierre Admits: I'm So Stupid I Can't Even Keep Up With the Demented, Senile Joe Biden

Not sure I would have admitted that, nor would I have been so cheerful in admitting it.

So actually that was her way of deflecting a question from Don Lemon, asking if Joe Biden has the "stamina, mentally and physically," to be president:

Greg Price @greg_price11

Lemon: "Does the president has the stamina, physically and mentally, do you think to continue on even after 2024?"

Jean-Pierre: "I can't even keep up with him... That is not a question that we should be even asking. Just look at the work that he does."

Is napping at his beach house work?

Before you think "wow, Don Lemon asked that!?" -- hang on, don't give him any credit. As mentioned yesterday, the Democrats have started a coordinated messaging campaign to tell Biden that it's time to announce he won't be running in 2024:

Biden's age would be a major issue if he runs again, says David Axelrod in an interview with No Shit Really? magazine (published by the DUH Media Group).

Former senior Obama adviser David Axelrod warned that President Biden's age could be a "major issue" in the 2024 presidential election.

"The presidency is a monstrously taxing job and the stark reality is the president would be closer to 90 than 80 at the end of a second term, and that would be a major issue," Axelrod told The New York Times of 79-year-old Biden.

"He looks his age and isn't as agile in front of a camera as he once was, and this has fed a narrative about competence that isn't rooted in reality," he added.

Axelrod also claimed that Biden "doesn't get the credit he deserves for steering the country through the worst of the pandemic, passing historic legislation, pulling the NATO alliance together against Russian aggression and restoring decency and decorum to the White House."

On @CNNSotu, @DanaBashCNN asks @aoc if she'll support Biden in '24:

OCASIO-CORTEZ: We will cross that bridge when we get to it.

BASH: That's not a yes.

OCASIO-CORTEZ: Should he run again, I think that -- I think it's -- we will take a look at it.

NYT: Democrats now openly declaring that Biden should not run.

Should Biden Run in 2024? Democratic Whispers of 'No' Start to Rise. In interviews, dozens of frustrated Democratic officials, members of Congress and voters expressed doubts about the president's ability to rescue his reeling party and take the fight to Republicans.

So Don Lemon was not asking a "brave" question here -- he was just doing what he always does, acting as a reliable Democrat NPC water-carrier, transmitting the DNC message of the day.

It's just that the Message of the Day was: Biden is too old to run and must be convinced to stop pretending he's running in 2024.

Isn't it remarkable that the main answer to the question, "is Biden too mentally infirm to be president," from Karine Jean-Pierre was "It's hearsay, it's salacious, that's not what we care about"?

That was her answer. "We don't care about the president being a turnip."

Video below. And also, more disasters from Karine Jean-Pierre.

The Daily Mail took note of Karine's astonishing mix of brazen lies and unprepared incompetence:

White House says Biden has sparked 'historic economic BOOM' as Dow plunges into bear market amid record inflation, high gas prices and recession fears: Claims Americans 'are well positioned to face these challenges' thanks to the President

White House is defending President Biden's economic record

Comes as inflation is high, gas is over $5 a gallon and stock market has dropped
'The American people are well positioned to face these challenges because of the economic historic gains,' Karine Jean-Pierre said

White House has struggled to get inflation and high prices under control

Voters give Biden low marks for his handling of the economy

The Washington Post reported that Biden had publicly pushed ethanol and biofuels as part of his Big Plan for reducing the cost of fuels -- but, via Hot Air, then apparently leaked to the Washington Post that he knew this was bullshit and was angry that his aides had made him tell such stupid lies in public.

President Biden seemed upbeat when he visited an Iowa biofuels plant in April to talk about bringing down gas prices, standing before a large tractor as he declared that "biofuels have a role to play right now" and announced a plan to expand the use of ethanol over the summer.

But privately, Biden dismissed the policy as ineffective and questioned the value of the trip, according to two people familiar with the conversations. After returning to the White House, he hauled his senior staff, including chief of staff Ron Klain, into the Oval Office, badgering them with questions about the purpose of the event.

Biden had worried even before the announcement that it exaggerated ethanol's ability to cut gas prices and could harm his climate goals, the people said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. But Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and other officials urged Biden to go, arguing that it would at least help the Midwest -- and the White House, after all, was desperate for ways to lower gas prices.

What a bizarre "messaging strategy" -- publicly lying to the rubes, but then leaking it to the Sharps in the media that you're too smart to believe the lies you're telling the rules.

I've noticed this before from people on the left: They'd rather you know that they're liars than let you think they're stupid. (Spoiler: They're both.)

"This is embarrassing," commented the Godfathers of GAINZZZ, the Hodge Twins:

Does this woman really care so little about the baby formula crisis that she doesn't bother updating herself daily about it?

Does anyone in the White House care about babies literally starving to death? Or is this just another minor political problem that can be "messaged around"?
