[@johnthomas1422]

Least transparent administration in history.

[@BubbyPlaisan]

Everybody knows she’s a proud puppet for the admin. While full of crap, she believes everything she says

[@curtisbrown5939]

She doesn't believe it anymore than I do...which,by the way, isn't very much

[@hugoq4335]

5 months left and she will be gone! 🎉

[@margaretcrawford8316]

"Biden" isn't doing anything. Who is?

[@tjsmith5477]

Who is Controlling the White House??

[@johnthomas1422]

The permanent Washington DC bureaucracy, aka the deepstate, is in control of the Whitehouse.

[@jf7078]

It's too late now. Who GAF? Clearly it's NOT who it's supposed to be. Who else could it be? The DNC is in charge

[@2FRESH-4U]

Definitely not Joe

[@dantheanimator5072]

A seven headed hydra from Earths hot underground

Barry and Michael I thought that was like late in the obvious when he made that video about how he would like to have a third term and just be an earpiece and someone’s ear come on people have some common sense

[@nelsonamaya6507]

IT HAS BECOME ANNOYING HOW TERRIBLE PRESS SECRETARY AND LIAR KJP IS

[@brigittechamberlain1339]

The president said it himself? When? Where? The president has not been in the picture at all. Who is running our country? This is CRAZY!

[@phoenixrising1675]

the body language guys have a blast with Jean Pierre. I mean those facial movements just say it all. and the stutter... what a liar....

[@JellyBean-jr8xb]

She’s a disgrace

[@matthewgrucella]

She uses verbosity to waste time

[@juliagrant3299]

The entire administration uses word salad, it's because they have no answers and suck at their jobs.

[@YTSparty]

A better question is "where is the President?". It seems like no one is running the WH and we're on the eve of WW3. I'm surprised Trump isn't making this a point.

[@TheMrStats]

But actually you've NEVER "been clear" about ANYTHING... EVER

[@rhondasills1295]

Where is the supposed President? I guess he got severance pay!

[@stephanmichaux6895]

America is a joke. That press secretary must be the worst I’ve ever seen. What a joke.

[@AlanT1010]

CNN or ABC spot guaranteed

[@juliagrant3299]

I'm thinking MSNBC might take her.

[@ripleyrandal2617]

The view.

[@chrismonroe1987]

😂😂😂😂😂 and the replies😂😂😂 She is terrible 😅😅

[@jonnellburgess3437]

Why we sending money to iran?

[@johnthomas1422]

Because Iran doesn't have enough money to fund it's own wars, duh.

[@bdav7436]

because that's who Obama is loyal to.

[@heraclesreborn]

The hundreds of billions going to Israel could've rebuilt America and helped Americans.

[@dantheanimator5072]

Sending planes filled with cash and some checks. Like daddy O wants

[@johnhoran9840]

@@heraclesreborn The half trillion we wasted on "migrants" last year could have hardened ever school in America.

[@jjones5424]

*2 minutes in and I just can't listen anymore!!! kjp will be fired in a few months and she sill slither off to a dark corner somewhere, my plea to ALL is TO NOT HIRE THIS WOMEN FOR ANY REASON!!! Just blackball her, she needs to go back on food stamps!!!*

[@TheAhsaki]

Or back to Haiti 😅

[@katherinegardner8871]

It doesn't seem private it seems very secretive and unethical

[@katherinegardner8871]

They're going to be discussing on how to stop Trump that's why it's going to be private

[@rhondasills1295]

I call BS! HE IS TOO TIRED TO TRAVEL.

[@bethbarber4391]

there's nothing of substance from anyone-she is taking her cues from Kamala, and we know how that is going....ambitions and aspirations, anyone?

[@mynameisnobodysometimeseve7653]

Nah not kammy. It's someone else.

[@jumpupdown2556]

It's all Barryspeak. "We've been very clear.." said by literally every Democrat at some point in any public speaking engagement these days. He's pretty obviously their template for speech and elocution.

[@Ks48778]

I assume Kamala if she wins will keep KJP, she makes kamala look very smart

[@s.macmillan460]

Has anyone started a drinking game for the many times she says "look"???

[@lindabell125]

God at this most urgent election time, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care. We beg you to reclaim this land for the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our hearts, and seek refuge in your protection, look down with mercy upon us and touch the hearts of our people. Open our minds to the great worth of human life and to the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Free us from the evil falsehoods of our government. Grant our people the wisdom to proclaim that God's law is the foundation on which our nation was founded, and that He alone is the true source of our cherished rights of life and liberty. Amen

[@jimmyroman9239]

Thank you for the great words..

[@jamesgilheany9624]

Painful to watch.

[@edwoodsr]

Who believes 'we are working 24/7'? Why do people keep saying that?

[@EezStash]

President? Do we have one of those? 😡

[@henryetta612]

Has this lady ever told the truth?

[@oberon1007]

Working around the clock??? Lies

[@wynimasimmons6665]

Biden is working around the clock as long as it's between 11 am to 2 pm.😂

[@KarenHolt-f8y]

It's called BEACHCOMBING

[@mikvermm]

A broken clock, twice a day..................maybe

[@SeanSR]

HE WORKS FOR THE PEOPLE, THERE ARE NO PRIVATE MEETING. ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY HAVE PROOF OF HIM SELLING OUT TO ALL THESE PEOPLE HE RECEIVED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM.

[@thinhvo4546]

Her job to cover up everything.

[@thecyrenian5988]

If we have learned anything the last few years.. it’s that we trust and support our honest and transparent government 🙏😨

[@jordanalexander5275]

January 6. January 6. I know she meant to say, January 6.

[@James-b5r]

Ever hang around a chronic liar? She doesn’t even lie well anymore. When someone is constantly looking down they are lying out of their ass.

[@JLMAX22]

Her light eyeshadow on her lids hides her continuous need to read her notes. It’s a subtle tactic.

[@bunkerbuster7939]

I'll be glad when these people are out of the government with no security

[@Chiga-lt6vq]

Who is in power in white house again .?

[@eag7agt664]

Pink Slips coming to the White House this November !!

[@garrettenger1146]

She said nothing at all.

[@MarknAdonessDixon-Turner]

They don't want you to see who else will be in attendance during these meetings, the discussions that will probably focus on collaborations or initiatives that may occur after JB leaves office in Jan. 25

[@linksaiya]

Same talking points. We are continuing to work and we will work to see results… Says nothing

[@Dre-el7xm]

Beat the podium until they believe you😂

[@celiaflinn7737]

Whenever she say. ,”we have been very clear”, she will muddy up the waters with verbal garbage.

[@SeanSR]

JEN WAS A WAAAAAY BETTER LIAR.

[@eag7agt664]

😂😂😂😂let me circle ⭕️ back to that for you !!

[@MrJohn49g]

In other words, we are going to say a lot of lies, word salads and do nothing.

[@chriskappes5647]

OMG it is now clear who Kamala gets the word salads from 😂

[@KyleRS877]

Why aren’t any democrats defending this? Weird

[@Judy-v1r]

This is what a true marxists sounds like tell the lies believe the lies get others to believe the lies you are telling

[@kathykeller4690]

Reporters should just show up and stare. Why bother asking anything

[@jdnewman1441]

why didn't sideshow bob resign ?

[@myketrip8938]

I wish to see the last report on her job performance. No one uses as many words as she does to say absolutely NOTHING !

[@katherinegardner8871]

Will Hunter be sharing top secret documents during this private dinner in making a little side cash

[@Dulitzlives]

Total liar!

[@amycrittendon3269]

Constant lies! It’s absolutely despicable!!!!

[@Xaveth]

She's always so nervous answering questions about the economy or all the wars that we're involved in.

[@homewoodstudio1978]

Only MSNBC folks will be attending the meetings and they will report to you what they think you need to hear. 🤣🤣🤣

[@JacobVickery-uo3ic]

We need a green line. I like the red line and the blue line and the new green line . Can we have a majestic color line ? 🎉

[@proudpapa3998]

She went to school of Kamala jibberish....

[@larryfox4908]

Did KJP train Kamala on how to evade answering a question or the other way around ? Both can talk a lot and not say anything .

[@justthefax6159]

Someone please ask her where the he!! is her boss?!?! 🇺🇸

[@runelillebuen6422]

kjp,it`s not a laughing matter!! kjp is a laughing matter!

[@KristyBrandsgaard]

Just another cover up

[@cindylamont6240]

She might as well said let's circle back. No transparency

[@amanshafiq9776]

She's a white house poodle 😂

[@user-bu3rj7lz5k]

Why do reporters even waste their time listening to the mentally defective? You all run out of popcorn yet?

[@christianaster]

I really like her❤❤

[@jonl.5967]

There is no Diplomatic solution Dunce. Israel is fighting Rogue States and multiple Terrorist Orgs. They don’t understand the concept of Diplomacy. So, you can keep jabbering about Diplomacy while Israel takes care of its own citizens.

[@robertjohnson4315]

Thanks Biden/Kamala you leave us and the world with your legacy.

[@BobbyKaszycki]

Crap speaker for a crap administration.

[@bunkerbuster7939]

(KJP insanity) asking her a question and expecting a different answer

[@JayColrman]

Wow I miss a press secretary that doesn't just Reads. .....Trump 2024!!

We all know Obama is running the s$&t show! 😂

What a bunch of BS as usual.

[@rebeccamead4557]

I'm KEEP pushing kjp for HONEST transparency. She sounded like it's getting hard to keep up the philosophy of day ng a lot and not answering the questions.....

[@curtisbrown5939]

Then why is the VP sharing information with IRAN?

[@heraclesreborn]

You're making this up, but Israel fleecing the American taxpayers is very documented.

[@NombreFrancisco]

We've been very clear.

[@maximusmeridius6610]

She forgot to mention how there working with iran.

[@Rowdmi341]

my 12 year old is a better liar

[@JayColrman]

Because he can't do the job,,!!!!!

[@outoftheashes_]

Hey reporters.. she clearly told you there's going to be some photo ops and maybe you'll be lucky and get a question in. If course, maybe not. Have fun with that.

[@eag7agt664]

Never looks at the Reporters.

So what is biden's excuse, too busy sunbathing? Nobody voted for KJP.

[@jonnellburgess3437]

Did Gods army's negotiate??

[@johnthomas1422]

Yes. The Angels stopped destroying hell as soon as Satan was locked away in it, obviously. You should go to Church.
