Rep. David Kustoff (R-TN) ripped into White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre after she claimed the three slain US troops killed over the weekend died “fighting on behalf on the [Biden] administration.”
“She is the worst and weakest Press Secretary we’ve ever had in our nation,” the Republican lawmaker told KWAM Tuesday. “Those men and women are fighting for the United States of America, not for the Biden administration.”
Roberta and I are saddened to hear about the death of 3 American service members, and 25 others wounded, in Jordan. We will keep their families in our thoughts and prayers.
This attack is a direct result of Joe Biden’s weak leadership in the Middle East. The increased attacks… https://t.co/U1p5DdWIzq— Rep. David Kustoff (@RepDavidKustoff) January 28, 2024
Kustoff’s remark came a day after Jean-Pierre told MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ the “three folks” died while protecting their administration.
“Our deepest, obviously our deepest condolences go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the families who lost, uh, three, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three brave, three folks who are military folks, who are brave, who are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf of, uh, this administration, of the American people, obviously more so, more importantly,” Jean-Pierre said.Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on US troops who were killed by a drone strike in Jordan:
