If there is one thing you can say about Karine Jean-Pierre, it’s that she excels at looking like a moron.
Not everybody can pull that off.
I, for instance, have never succeeded in looking like anything but a borderline genius. It is a curse, really. But KJP can pull it off without any effort.
Perhaps that is because she really is a moron, or perhaps the White House just wants somebody to occasionally distract from the fact that a president who was never the sharpest tool in the shed is now as dull as a sword that was buried in the mud during King Arthur’s time.
AP’s @ZekeJMiller: “And just quickly, does the President support those police clearing operations like we saw in New York, like we’ve seen on some of these other college campuses?”
KJP: “Look, we’ve been very clear on that. Americans have the right to peacefully protest. They… pic.twitter.com/nGD4EG6Ce5

KJP has been getting some pointed questions from the press about all the protests on college campuses, and she has been dodging and weaving.
Dodging and weaving as well as Joe Biden on a basketball court, which is to say rather badly, but she is doing it as well as a moron can, I suppose.

Of course, KJP doesn’t want to respond to questions about the protests because they present a huge political problem, as was shown by the College Democrats coming out in support of the Columbia rioters and the occupations taking place around the country. Biden needs every vote he can get, and aside from the public sector unions his biggest bloc of campaign workers will be the younger lefties.

He’s already pissed them off, and a video of him or KJP criticizing them directly is NOT what they want out there. Vague statements about hate are fine. Nobody believes that he is a hateful person, so nobody will take those statements personally. But a full-throated denunciation of these proto-terrorists? Not on the agenda, at least not yet.
So we get this moronic dodge: President Biden said he hated the tiki torchbearers in Charlottesville, so he doesn’t have to say anything about the thousands of a**holes screaming at Jews or destroying college campuses right now.
It’s a bit weird since the Charlottesville incident was a one-off, and nobody supported those yahoos, whether they were genuine antisemites or feds in disguise, as many suspect. After all, there have been hoaxes since, most notably the one in which the Lincoln Project tried to smear Republicans.
Biden created this chaos — then stoked it.
He’s too weak and feeble to condemn it.

These Hamas-loving “Glory to Our Martyrs” zealots have been at it for months and have escalated to actual violence and destruction. Yet the president has been notably silent and even halfway endorsed them several times. He “understands” their passion, right?
Biden refers to MAGA “extremists” daily but is sympathetic to people who are screaming out their hate, declaring that every “zionist” deserves to die and glorifying Jihadis bent on killing every Jew.
It’s impossible to defend, and KJP is proving that she is a moron to try.
