We’re starting to see Pentagon spokesman John Kirby make more appearances at White House briefings, which doesn’t bode well for this administration’s confidence in Karine Jean-Pierre’s effectiveness in handling the press’s questions.

The Biden press office should have also had Kirby field Peter Doocy’s questions about this administration’s energy policies (those policies are “blame Putin & Big Oil greed,” raid the strategic reserve, beg the Saudis to pump more oil and tell Americans struggling to afford gas to buy electric cars). Try and make sense of Jean-Pierre’s responses to Doocy here:

Shorter KJP: Words words words words words words words words.

Mix all that up and make a nice word salad.

Jean-Pierre probably doesn’t even know what all that means.

Here’s something that was unreal:

Maybe this administration thinks that’s worth bragging about that because it’s more than the 16 cents they saved us at last year’s 4th of July barbecue.
