The White House Press Secretary is used to defending Biden. But Kamala is an entirely different bear.
And now Karine Jean-Pierre just sunk Kamala’s campaign with one moronic slip of the tongue.
When asked by a reporter on Monday to cite a “specific policy” achieved by Vice President Kamala Harris, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was unable to respond.
Harris, who has yet to hold a press conference since becoming the Democratic nominee, has come under fire for her performance on the border crisis after being tasked by President Joe Biden with addressing the “root cause” of illegal immigration.
The vice president has held multiple rallies in the last week, but she has yet to present a campaign platform with the Democratic National Convention in Chicago only one week away.
“What does the president see as the vice president’s biggest achievement during their time in office together?” a reporter asked the top White House spokeswoman.
“So look, because they’ve been partners … certainly those historic, unprecedented achievements have been done together,” Jean-Pierre said.
“I’ll say this, the president believes in the vice president’s leadership, her temperament, her experience. And he has said this himself, one of the proudest decisions he made in 2020 was selecting her as vice president because he believed she could go on day one.”
“I’m not going to parse out anything from here,” she told me.
“They have been partners. She’s been a critical partner for this president during this term, and we’ll continue to do so.”
“There’s no specific policy, it’s a comprehensive whole?” the reporter asked.
“I would say it’s a comprehensive whole,” Jean-Pierre answered.
Jean-Pierre has nothing to say when asked what Biden sees as Kamala's "biggest achievement" as Vice President (that's because there isn't any).

“The Biden-Harris accomplishments are the Biden-Harris accomplishments. She’s played a role, whether it is being on the floor of the Senate, getting really important legislation to pass through, or being in a room with the president and trying to figure out how to move forward strategically with a policy or how to make tough decisions on behalf of the American people, she’s been there.”
Trump attacked Harris on Monday, claiming that she “has flip-flopped on virtually every policy she has supported and lived by for her entire career.”
He also claimed that the Democratic nominee “sounds more like Trump than Trump, copying almost everything.”
“She is conning the American public, and will flip right back. I will make America great again! There will be no flipping!!!” Trump added.
On Saturday, Harris copied Trump’s idea to eliminate tip taxes for service workers.
Harris made the vow while speaking in Las Vegas, where Trump unveiled his tax-cut proposal in June.
