The Biden administration continues to demonstrate their incompetence and lack of awareness. Recently, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to defend Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s mishandling of the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio, by comparing him to former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, who served under Trump.
However, she mistakenly referred to Chao as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) instead of the Department of Transportation (DOT). How can we trust this administration when they don’t even know who served in which position?
Jean-Pierre’s lack of basic knowledge and competence is deeply concerning. It is clear that this administration is grasping at straws to defend Buttigieg’s poor handling of the situation.
While Chao may have served as Transportation Secretary without facing backlash for chemical spills, this situation is entirely different, and Buttigieg’s lack of response is unacceptable. He should be held accountable for his inaction and lack of leadership in the aftermath of the train disaster.
To make matters worse, Jean-Pierre also made another embarrassing mistake while trying to answer a separate question. She mistakenly referred to President Biden as President Obama. It’s hard to trust someone running media relations for the president if they can’t even keep track of which president we are currently under.
Watch the video below, she referred to Biden as “President Obama”.
The fact that these types of errors keep happening from the Biden administration is concerning. We expect more accountability and competence from our leaders.
It seems like every day there’s something new from this administration that makes us shake our heads in disbelief. We can’t keep excusing these blunders as mere mistakes; they demonstrate a deeper lack of understanding and care for the American people.
If your only argument is “but Elaine Chao was also bad,” then you’re basically admitting you have no argument and have just given up https://t.co/VLcNN3CesV

Enough is enough already. The Biden administration has had plenty of opportunities to shine and consistently failed the American people. We need leaders who are competent, knowledgeable, and capable of handling the challenges facing our nation. It’s time to demand more from our leaders, starting with Buttigieg and Jean-Pierre.
