Incredibly offensive. We've replaced one miserable lot with another.
She gets a lot of flack for her constant “I’ll get back to you on that” returns. I have zero problem with someone not wanting to speak incorrectly and regroup. But this dismissiveness over a branch of the armed forces (no matter how silly-named) is a fireable offense.
I think you're spot on with regard to how hard the job is. IIRC, presidents from both sides of the aisle seem to cycle through press secretaries on a fairly regular cycle. Without looking it up, I'd guess the average tenure of a press secretary is between 1-2 years over the last couple of decades.
It's one thing to come out of the gate though with this miserable, arrogant attitude. That's different than a tough job. The last one was the same way. Bizarre.
I couldn't think of a better word. CYA is probably a better term.
Yawn.
I think with all this country is going through now she was surprised it even came up.
One of my top expectations for this Administration is to restore pride and professionalism to public service. The performance of the last Administration in almost every position should not be part of the discussion. Especially in communications.
So another folder to file under “we don’t have to be good, just better than the last one” cabinet you clearly have?
Precisely. The MSM is shoving the “he’s a unifier!” trope down my throat. I’d love to believe it. Have a long way to go.
Are you naïve enough to believe that McConnell would actually allow any sort of bipartisanship or unification?
I said it was not a good look. It can be totally unacceptable, a performance to be fired for, and still be better than the last one.
Yea when the Skrulls attack the Earth no one will laugh at The Guardians of Space Force then, will they.
You bring up a good point - the amount of indignation over the Benghazi hearings from the right would lead me to believe that they'll start up the drum beat for hearings, answers and culpability for the Capitol insurrection from that same legislators on the right. <<sarcasm font off>>.
There are some reporters trying to goad her. The other day she got a question about changing the color scheme of Air Force One away from the Trump color scheme. That was what she was referring to with the "Wow, Space Force! It’s the plane of today!" comment. Granted, she handled it inartfully, but lets not go overboard with the Disrespecting Our Service Members trope.
Yes it does. It adds context. It may not be an excuse, but it is an explanation.
I agree for most part. Lots of snark isn’t the way she pronounced it with complete disdain still.
