Jean-Pierre Torched for Her Comparison to Debt Ceiling Debate

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is getting mocked after her attempt to help Americans relate to the debt ceiling debate exposed a flaw in the push to forgive student loan debt.

During a press briefing on Monday, Jean-Pierre was asked about President Joe Biden’s scheduled meeting with congressional leaders and whether it will “move the ball” regarding the debate over the debt ceiling.

“I want to step back for a second, and I really appreciate the question, but let’s look at this for the American people who are trying to figure out, who may not know what is it that we’re talking about,” the press secretary responded.

She continued, “So, look, let’s look at it through the American families’ eyes for a second. If you buy a car, you are expected to pay the monthly payments.”

Jean-Pierre went on:

“If you buy a home, you are to pay the mortgage every month. That is the expectation. That is the spending that you put forth or spending that you may have done before. And now you’re paying every month. If you do not pay your car payment, if you do not pay your mortgage payment, then your credit is going to be bad. It’s going to hurt your credit.”
