White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre sparked anger after she claimed that the three American soldiers killed in suicide drone strike on a US base in Jordan died 'fighting on behalf of the [Biden] administration'
Karine Jean-Pierre has sparked anger after she claimed the three American soldiers killed in suicide drone strike on a US base in Jordan died 'fighting on behalf of the [Biden] administration.'
Speaking to MSNBC Monday, Jean-Pierre made multiple flubs addressing the administration's response to the matter, suggesting the troops died representing the Biden White House and not America as a whole.
'Our deepest, obviously our deepest condolences go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the families 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, uh, this administration, of the American people, obviously more so, more importantly,' she said.

Some took objection to the reference to the deceased soldiers as 'folks,' though many more were outraged by the suggestion that they died fighting for 'this administration.'
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert promptly attempted to correct the press secretary on what she called 'a disgusting, pompous comment that truly encompasses the mindset of these frauds in the White House.'
'No, Karine Jean-Pierre,' she wrote on X. 'Our military doesn't fight for the Biden administration. Our military fights for the American people and to protect our freedoms.'
Commentator Joe Concha added: 'It truly is amazing to see that after almost two years on the job how it's possible that Karine Jean-Pierre is only get worse at her job.'
'I can't believe Karine Jean-Pierre is still WH Spox,' added John Cardillo. 'Most incompetent in history.'
'Our
service members swear an oath to defend the Constitution of the United
States. They are not fighting 'on behalf of' the Biden team,' wrote Congressman Pat Fallon of Texas. 'This is incredibly disrespectful.'
