WATCH: Karine Jean-Pierre spins herself dizzy in multiple futile attempts to explain and defend Biden's unlawful student debt cancellation plan

Sounds like the White House is doing a bang-up job of explaining and rationalizing Joe Biden’s unlawful move to cancel student debt for millions of Americans at the expense of millions more Americans:

WH cannot say how much the student loan forgiveness plan will cost and cannot say how it will be paid for but argues the value is worth the costs

But perhaps nobody’s having a bigger banner day than White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who’s been tasked with answering the White House press corps’ questions on the matter. Seriously, guys. Karine is doing just greeeeeat:

Jean-Pierre on canceling student debt:

"This is historical, what we're doing. It has never been done before. When you look at the system, the system is broken. And we're trying to reform it so that we can help people who really need it." pic.twitter.com/jVVgEW1ngg

This is historical, people. The Biden administration is making history. Might make your savings history in the process, but when you’re making history, sometimes you have to make sacrifices, too.

Of course, Karine can’t (or won’t) actually tell us how much it’s going to cost us to make history … but she did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night:

Reporter: "Do you all believe this student loan program is fully paid for?"

Oh, OK. Makes sense. At least if you’re on mushrooms or something.

Reporter 1: "You could say 'this is how much it's going to cost if everyone who is eligible applies.'"

KJP: "We just don't want to get ahead of ourselves."

Reporter: "If you don't know how much [student debt cancelation] is going to cost how can you guarantee it's going to be paid for?"

What? That’s not how this stuff is supposed to work.

Karine Jean-Pierre doesn’t seem to really understand how things are supposed to work.

A reporter asks why the admin can use Covid as a legal basis for student debt cancelation.

JACQUI TIME: "The Heroes Act hinges on student debt…being tied to the pandemic & that being a national emergency, but the administration argued in court that [it's] over…So, how is…COVID a national emergency when it comes to student debt?"

Narrator: Karine Jean-Pierre was not, in fact, glad that Jacqui Heinrich asked that question. Hard to blame her, honestly. Would you want to have to rationalize the Biden administration’s shenanigans and chronic intellectual dishonesty and inconsistency? Hell no.

But Jean-Pierre also signed on for this knowing that she was going to have to explain and defend some pretty insane and awful stuff, so also deserves to get called out for her own role in the sideshow.

One of those wild moments where KJP gives an answer that doesn't seem remotely connected to the question.

It's like she spins a talking points wheel and just goes with whatever it lands on, regardless of the question she was asked. https://t.co/ml4rflxYxP

That’s actually probably not too far off from how she approaches non-softball questions.

KJP: Some folks are…going to have a little bit harder time [w/payments]…though…the economy has been turned back on b/c of the work [Biden] has done.@JacquiHeinrich: That's another thing…[He]…says we're not in a recession…Why are those…conditions to forgive…debt? pic.twitter.com/Bf6mJRiuE7

If you look really, really closely, you can just make out the early signs of Karine Jean-Pierre slowly transforming into a corncob.

.@JacquiHeinrich: "The Washington Post editorial board says that…it takes money from the broader tax base…to subsidize…debt of people w/valuable degrees…There are critics who are saying…the real natl. emergency is Democrats in the midterm elections."

KJP: "I disagree." pic.twitter.com/qpEgECrt8Z

Liberal MSM lapdogs: “Karine Jean-Pierre is going to be a fantastic White House press secretary!”

Us and other people with eyes and ears: “We disagree.”

Looks like we were right about her the whole time. Shocker, we know.

Anyway, it’s needless to say at this point that Karine Jean-Pierre isn’t cut out for this job. She makes Jen Psaki look poised and eloquent. If the Biden administration wants to sell the public on this bailout, they’re gonna need a better spokesperson than Karine Jean-Pierre.

And if they want to sell the courts on this issue, they’re gonna need the actual devil’s advocate. And even then, they’ll fail.

Not a good question, so much as a devastating question that cannot be answered, and that will, inter alia, prove fatal in court if the standing rules allow the issue to get that far. https://t.co/TLxzp9ct8A
