Once Pentagon spokesman John Kirby was able to use up enough time at today’s White House press briefing, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre finally felt comfortable stepping up to the podium to do her job.
And oh, what a job she did:

OK, if we’re being honest here, that tactic is getting pretty old. The Biden administration has been at it for a while and nobody’s really buying it anymore. But leave it to a gifted gal like KJP to find a way to keep the gas price discussion interesting:

Hol’ up … she didn’t really say that, did she? Surely the audio skipped or something. Let’s listen again, just to be sure:
The most historic press secretary ever accidentally says that Biden is doing everything he can to “elevate” the pain that Americans feel at the pump before correcting herself. pic.twitter.com/9ZxLuUVCIf

That wasn’t just a Freudian slip; that was a Freudian faceplant.
She's doing just great at this job. https://t.co/Fz43lUTK1e

As great as we could’ve expected.
