Who mentioned scared? It's about temperament for the position.
Speechless 
Not really he is very predictable.
"Old colleagues say she has the ideal temperament for the pressure cooker of the briefing room with its sometimes hostile questioning.
Ben Wikler, a former senior adviser at MoveOn, now chair of the Wisconsin Democratic party, said: “One of Karine’s superpowers is to keep her nerve in the face of chaos and high stakes.”

Right, that's enough of ipatent off ignore, it lasted a few hours but time to put him back in the oubliette.
I hope you realize she's only been on the job a few days...I think since Friday. I think part of the job description must be to know when to be a smart ass and know how to cut down journalists asking stupid questions.
Yet, a funny side note...when I was first trying to remember her face before finding that video of her protecting Kamala Harris...
My first thought was that she's Jared Leto's girlfriend.
Yet, that actress is not LGBTQ.

I watched Morbius last night in my cinema and besides him being the only actor to play both the Joker and the "bat man", it was not great.
Racist incel army will faint on realising who she is married to.
That's why I said time will tell.
I think it's a very smart appointment due to the pending court issues about women's rights and abortion...
That will result in a ton of questions going forward into the mid-terms by reporters (journalists) about these issues.

From Harvard's The Crimson:
"Sociology professor Jocelyn Viterna, who attended the talk, wrote in an email that she has indeed read “Human Diversity” and found that its logic was unsound.
“Murray’s new book once again argues that environmental factors don’t matter as much as biological factors, but once again, it bases the argument on assumption and speculation, and not on a careful, data-driven analysis,” she wrote. “It also flat out ignores the extensive, data driven, carefully analyzed, peer reviewed research that already demonstrates, over and over again, how social factors shape inequality.”
She added that Murray “didn’t have a single thing of substance to say” during his talk when presented with “thoughtful” questions about how he arrived at his conclusions about the role genetics play in shaping individuals and societal inequalities.
“Murray rambled a great deal about how mistreated he has been, but there were no data, and there was certainly no science; just a good deal of deflecting and pouting,” she added.
Murray did not respond to a request for comment about Waters and Viterna’s statements."

Karine Jean-Pierre is the wrong choice to rebuild Biden’s shattered credibility
Almost all press secretaries come from partisan backgrounds with campaign experience. Jean-Pierre’s predecessor, Jen Psaki, who is moving on to MSNBC, worked on President Barack Obama’s campaign, for example. Jean-Pierre is no different, and no one should fault her for that.
What is troubling about Jean-Pierre’s record is her well-established pattern of spreading disinformation about the most important topics of the day.
Before Donald Trump was even sworn into office, Jean-Pierre falsely claimed he was an illegitimate president who had stolen the 2016 election. “Stolen emails, stolen drone, stolen election … welcome to the world of #unpresidented Trump,” she tweeted in December 2016.
Switch out “Trump” for “Biden,” and the exact same tweet would have gotten her kicked off Twitter in 2021 for spreading disinformation about the 2020 election.
Two years later, Jean-Pierre was at it again, this time spreading lies about Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Any reasonable person should have known that Julie Swetnick’s stories about Kavanaugh drugging and gang-raping women in high school were outrageously false. But Jean-Pierre fell for Swetnick’s con hook, line, and sinker. “Julie Swetnick, 3rd Brett Kavanaugh accuser tells @nbc that he was a 'very mean drunk,'” Jean-Pierre tweeted, later adding, “Brett Kavanaugh should not be coaching girls basketball.”
What a despicable attempt to assassinate a man’s character.
Switching back to false election claims, Jean-Pierre also eagerly embraced the conspiracy theory that the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election was stolen. "Reminder: Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams,” Jean-Pierre tweeted at the time.

This is off-topic, but I can't help but to remark about how ignorant this woman is. There have been dozens of studies (starting with the Minnesota identical twin studies) that quantify how much of IQ, for example, is heritable and how much is attributable to environmental differences, and no one is more familiar with those studies than Murray. He tweeted a few months ago, no less than 40%, no greater than 80% heritable.
