brenthutch 383 #1 Posted May 21, 2022 Foreign born, black, lesbian (who identifies as a woman) is being bucked up by a cis gender military white male. While she gets a gold medal in the intersectional Olympics she has failed spectacularly on the podium. https://www.foxnews.com/media/white-house-press-secretary-botching-answer-inflation-question-excruciating-watch https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10836061/Pentagon-spox-John-Kirby-join-White-House-comms-role-days-Karine-Jean-Pierres-debut.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
headoverheels 291 #2 May 21, 2022 Psaki is a tough act to follow. I cannot think of any press secretary in the past 50 years who was her equal. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you have to back it up, besides assumptions based on her appearance and the like? I’m assuming that any errors made by white male press secretaries were completely understandable, right? Give me a fucking break. She’s been the deputy for quite awhile, that may have given people some time to evaluate her. She may not be up to the job, but it won’t be because she’s female, gay, African-American, etc. By your standards, any liberal, in any position, is probably unqualified Wendy P. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Wendy, Re: any errors made by white male press secretaries were completely understandable I believe that those were considered 'misspoke.' Completely acceptable. Misspoke - definition of misspoke by The Free Dictionary I seem to remember that it began during the Nixon yrs. Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, they're government employees so I'm sure you don't think the sun shines out of all of their asses. What about all of the other less than competent straight white people who've held posts like that?

I don’t have the time to post a historical analysis of every press secretary. I’m just opining on the current one. Watch it for yourself and tell me what you think.

No, it is just that she is incompetent. Her race, gender, immigration status and sexual proclivities have nothing to do with it. I actually feel sorry for her. A career in the progressive bubble has conditioned her to believe that all of the world’s problems are a result of climate change and income inequality.

The problem I have with your proclivities is that, without knowing it, you demonstrate a bigoted position. Whom she takes her pleasures with, and at what day of the week or time of day, is her nature. That is to say it's natural. If you truly were a fair, and unbiased, observer you wouldn't make a distinction. But that is not you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
