WATCH: Karine Jean-Pierre glitches out when asked if White House still contends that 'the border is secure'

It’s never an easy day for White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. Even when she gets softball questions, she gets flustered.

So when a member of the White House press corps decides to change things up and play hardball, she basically glitches out and breaks down in real time. That’s definitely what’s been happening today:

.@KWelkerNBC: "Is the border secure, Karine? Is the border secure"

KJP: "I–I'm just going to refer back to the Vice President. We agree with her. She is saying that there's a lot of work to do…We agree that the border is secure, but there is still more work to be done." pic.twitter.com/So7jDs4bUW

.@KWelkerNBC: "How can you even make that argument when…DHS has said it's bracing for these potentially 2 million migrants to come?"

Jean-Pierre: "We'll say this. Rebuilding the immigration system, esp. one…decimated under the previous administration won't happen overnight" pic.twitter.com/Q6Xk1nS9Tj

But perhaps there’s no moment from today’s briefing that better encapsulates that hot mess that is Karine Jean-Pierre than this:

REPORTER: "Does the White House stand by those comments that the border is secure?"

KJP: uhhhhhhh pic.twitter.com/uDAducIxKd

If you squint hard enough, you can actually see the little man in her head feverishly flipping the light switch back and forth and nothing’s happening.
