In case you missed it, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was on one hell of a roll yesterday at the White House press briefing:
- Ahead of Biden’s speech, KJP reminds us that ‘Mega MAGA Republicans’ hate the law and love violence
- Karine Jean-Pierre flat-out lies to Peter Doocy when he asks how Biden feels about Republican voters
- Karine Jean-Pierre defends WH deleting wildly misleading tweet by … trying to mislead us some more
This morning, she picked right up where she left off, by which we mean, of course, jamming her foot even farther into the Biden administration’s mouth:

Sounds like Team Biden is really on top of this economy stuff!
Oh, cool. Okay. https://t.co/L527Y9qS2j

So, basically, if we’re understanding Karine Jean-Pierre correctly, no matter how bad the economy gets under this administration, they’re going to pretend that everything is fine.
We are currently in a recession. Have been for a while.
Two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
We’re IN a recession.
So glad @PressSec and @JoeBiden can’t be bothered to do anything about it. https://t.co/uNsNocH4a5

Just the sort of bold leadership we’ve come to expect from Joe Biden’s White House.

Update:
Recession? What recession?
.@WHCOS: "We are not in a recession. I want to be really, really clear on that— We're at a 50-year low on unemployment overall, an all-time low on Hispanic unemployment. We've created more jobs in two years than any administration in history."https://t.co/fSY177xYvt
