Karine Jean-Pierre is having another red-letter today as White House press secretary. Once she let Pentagon spokesman John Kirby finish his own song-and-dance routine, she took the floor and wasted no time putting on her own impressive show.
There was this amazing moment, of course:
KJP: "The president has been very clear in making sure that he does everything that he can to elevate—to alleviate the pain that American families are feeling when it comes to gas prices." pic.twitter.com/97eXtpCMWV

Hard to top, we know. But KJP at least came pretty darn close with this:

I guess this means we’re in a recession! https://t.co/BXQe80DW5o

It certainly feels that way to us. But what do we know?

And things are going extra great when someone like Politico and MSNBC’s Sam Stein has to step in to run interference for the White House:

These guys just can't jump fast enough can they.

No, they can’t. The thing is that no matter how fast or high they jump, they ultimately can’t get off the ground. Because they’re basically standing in an intellectual tarpit.

We’re not in a recession but there are policies in place to help us deal with “the recession”. And we’re also headed to a place of stability. Got it. https://t.co/W7CtjQiW7N

In any event, we’re curious to see how this whole are-we-or-aren’t-we-in-a-recession thing ultimately plays out. We have a feeling we already know, but we’ll tune in all the same.
Mark it. https://t.co/GbUcn6u3Iz
