Karine Jean-Pierre has been mocked online for generously serving up a portion of "word salad" as she weighed in on President Joe Biden’s border policy in an episode of political talk show 'All in With Chris Hayes'.Listeners struggled to transcribe the White House press secretary's statements about Biden's plans to secure the US-Mexico border, as she delivered some remarkably unwieldy and clumsy verbal offerings.She continued, "We're gonna move forward and do it in a humane way. We're gonna do it in a safe way. And we're gonna do it in the way that moves us forward.

At the time, many people online asked "how much more of this do we have to endure," as they groaned over her incompetence. Some suggested that former White House press secretary Jen Psaki was better, as she "could lie without flinching a muscle or blinking an eye".

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is no stranger to being ridiculed online by social media users, who have lambasted her for "incompetence" and repeatedly demonstrating that she is "totally out of her league".

Listeners struggled to transcribe the White House press secretary's statements about Biden's plans to secure the US-Mexico border, as she delivered some remarkably unwieldy and clumsy verbal offerings.

"What we’re going to promise is that we’re going to do this. We're going to move forward with a, with this kind of system, this immigration system, that has been gutted, really truly gutted, by the last administration," Jean-Pierre first said.

She continued, "We're gonna move forward and do it in a humane way. We're gonna do it in a safe way. And we're gonna do it in the way that moves us forward. And so what we have been seeing, what we have been dealing with, again, is trying to fix the damage that the last administration do--did."

Finally, Jean-Pierre insisted that: "What we have done is we have opened the path to – we have opened the path to make sure that people have a way to get, to come through and to do it in a legal pathway."

"Complete word salad", was how social media users summed up that batch of gibberish from the WH press secretary.
