Watch: Karine Jean-Pierre Awkwardly Tries to Make Make Light of Biden’s COVID Battle – It Fails

There are some things in life that just aren’t widely seen as acceptable to make jokes about — people dying is one of them.

Alternatively, jokes about members of the LGBT community are usually off-limits now if they’re focused on their sexual orientation. Also, jokes about disabilities are not good.

But another thing that should probably be off limits is joking about the status of the 79-year-old President of the United States.

However, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre decided that the Monday news conference after President Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 again would be a good time to be a comedian.

A reporter asked, “We haven’t seen anything from today. Can you give us a sense of how he’s doing with having to go back into isolation? Is he frustrated? And how is he dealing with being away from the first lady?”

“The day is still young. You’ll never know,” Jean-Pierre responded.

After some awkward silence, she apparently realized the joke didn’t land as she clarified that “I was just making a joke.”

“Clearly, it was not funny. I will try harder next time to be more funny,” she added.

Please don’t.

Finally, Jean-Pierre said, “Look, he is continuing to work from the residence. And I just want to share, as we all know, the president is fully vaccinated. He’s double boosted.”
