White House press propagandist Karine Jean-Pierre rightly took heat Wednesday on social media after she claimed that the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade was an “unconstitutional action.”
“From day one, when the Supreme Court made this extreme decision to take away a constitutional right, it was an unconstitutional action by them,” she said.
She then described abortion as “a right that was around for almost 50 years,” as well as “a right that women had to make a decision on their bodies and how they want to start their families.”
Sen. Josh Hawley’s (R-MO) press secretary Abigail Marone commented on the White House press secretary’s incompetence, tweeting, “It honestly feels cruel to put her on the podium and make her answer questions each day.”
Telegraph contributor Nile Gardiner described Jean-Pierre’s statement as “Truly Orwellian disinformation from the Biden White House.”
The Heritage Foundation’s John Cooper seemed perplexed, tweeting, “Karine Jean-Pierre just said the Supreme Court’s Dobbs ruling was ‘unconstitutional,’ which is certainly a…unique take.”
Conservative commentator Ian Miles Cheong pulled no punches, writing, “That KJP is a moron isn’t a secret. It’s on full display.”
