But Monday brought with it a new Biden press secretary, and it didn’t take long for Karine Jean-Pierre to remind reporters of her credentials. And by “credentials” we mean her sexual orientation and immigration history:

None of those things are relevant to the job so, nobody gives a shit. @K_JeanPierre 🤷🏽♂️ https://t.co/Ecv0s34vVY
