Karine Jean-Pierre gets easily flustered.
Democrats can’t afford any mistakes right now.
And Karine Jean-Pierre discovered Kamala Harris has one terrible problem on her hands.
As Conservative Reboot reports:
The Kamala Harris-Joe Biden administration flew Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the presidential battleground of Pennsylvania aboard a military C-17 where Zelensky proceeded to campaign against Donald Trump.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced an investigation into allegations Kamala Harris and Joe Biden improperly used taxpayer money to invite foreign meddling into the 2024 election.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre flew off the handle when Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich asked Jean-Pierre about Comer’s investigation.
Jean-Pierre claimed it was Zelensky’s idea to tour the munitions factory in Pennsylvania.
“So, let me just lay this down, because I know that there’s been a lot of talk about this. So, the Ukrainians asked to visit the facility, which employs American workers, as you know, who are manufacturing critical supplies that the Ukrainian military is using every day on the front lines of freedom,” Jean-Pierre began.
Jean-Pierre’s answer ignored the fact that the administration still had to approve the trip and the use of Zelensky as a political prop.
The administration could have approved Zelensky’s trip for December and it would have made no difference for Zelensky’s stated purpose.
But that would have denied Kamala Harris the campaign photo op she craved.
“Because of its centrality to their country’s continued existence, this came from Ukraine, not us. This is something that they wanted to do. After they made that request, DOD did what it has done for years — figure out how to provide transportation for foreign leaders traveling on U.S. soil, which is common, which happens when they come to the U.S. And the whole world knows this is someone [Vladimir Putin] wants dead. He’s made very clear when it comes to President Zelenskyy,” Jean-Pierre continued.
Jean-Pierre then tried to argue Republicans didn’t complain when Zelensky visited Utah in July.
“And also just two months ago, President Zelenskyy traveled to Utah and held an event with a Republican governor, a very similar event. And Republican officials were there at that event in Utah,” Jean-Pierre added.
“And there wasn’t a single demand, not one, not one single demand for an investigation when that occurred a couple of months ago in Utah. So, this was business as usual for a Ukrainian request during wartime. During wartime. And so I would encourage, we would encourage the House Republicans to drop this. This is a political stunt. They need to drop this,” Jean-Pierre stated.
Utah isn’t a swing state.
Pennsylvania is the most important state on the map.
And Kamala Harris flew a foreign leader to a presidential battleground where he stood with members of her party to attack her opponent.
