An unidentified object was shot down Saturday over Canada, and White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appeared on MSNBC on Sunday to reassure Americans that the Biden administration was on the job.
“We’re always going to track, we’re always going to detect, and we’re always going to defend our airspace. And that’s what the American people should expect,” she said on “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
Capehart asked KJP why the U.S. was shooting down a flying object over Canada and the diversity hire really struggled in trying to explain why, prompting the MSNBC host to come to her rescue.
“Because it’s part of NORAD. There’s, uh, the NORAD is part of like a, part of a—it’s a, it’s a, what you call, a coalition, a consortium –” she began.
Capehart interjected to say NORAD is a “pact of nations,” prompting agreement from Jean-Pierre. As bad as that was, it would get worse when she then stumbled in trying to name “Canada.”
“We didn’t do it on our own,” the president’s spokesperson continued. “We did it clearly in step with CANADIA.”

On Sunday, a U.S. fighter jet shot down an “unidentified object” over Lake Huron, this being the fourth time in eight days that an object has been struck from the skies — the third since President Joe Biden allowed a Chinese spy balloon to traverse the entire country before shooting it down off the coast of South Carolina.
As for Jean-Pierre, she truly is bad at her job and it remains to be seen how much longer the White House continues to allow the affirmative action hire to wither on the vine:
Why can she literally not speak words

I feel sorry for her. She is under tremendous pressure, and seems out of her element. I think she is basically, an honest person at heart, working with dishonest people, which must cause her enormous internal conflict. That’s my take, nonetheless.

All the more reason they should have chosen a worthy person and NOT one based on how many woke boxes she checked!
