White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre sparked mockery and criticisms for an embarrassing mistake after she was grilled by reporters during a regular press briefing.
As Jean-Pierre continue to defend US President Biden,
the incompetence of his administration has been on full display for the entire world to see.
During the recent press briefing, the press secretary made a series of gaffes which immediately caught the attention of many after it went viral on social media.
According to the reports, Jean-Pierre initially incorrectly pronounced the Nobel Prize by using the word “noble.”
She also called the Nobel Prize the ‘Noble Prize’ four times,” political commentator Greg Price said.
The recent incident wasn’t the first time that Jean-Pierre reportedly struggled addressing her statements.

Just recently, the secretary became controversial after she was unable to answer simple questions thrown by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy about Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan in a separate press briefing.
“About the student loans, how can the country afford such a massive handout?” Doocy asked.
“If you look at what this president has done, if you look at the coming end of the fiscal year, $1.7 trillion that we brought down the deficit. That matters,” Jean-Pierre responded before adding that “if you look at the Inflation Reduction Act, it’s going to add another $300 billion going to bring down the deficit again,” she said.
We are doing this responsibly. You heard directly from the president this is something that is going to be important for middle-class Americans. When you think about 90 percent of the folks who are going to actually benefit from this are making $75,000 or less, and you think about what Republicans did just a couple of years ago, they signed off on a $2 trillion tax cut for the wealthy and did not provide any way to pay for that,” she continued.
After that, Doocy asked, “Who is paying for this?”
“What we are saying is the work that this administration has done, the work that the Democrats and Congress have done, is actually there. And you see that the $1.7 trillion deficit deduction that you see is going to benefit us in being able to do something for the middle class,” Jean-Pierrre responded.
“But when you forgive the debt, you’re not just disappearing debt. So who is paying for this?” the reporter countered.
“We’re going to lift the pause [on student loan payments] at the end of this year, which is going to matter, right? Which is going to offset a lot of what we’re doing as well. When you think about the $4 billion that’s going to go back as revenue back into this process of folks paying their college tuition, that matters as well,” Jean-Pierre claimed.
