White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is facing mockery after a claim she made about herself.
During an interview with The Grio over the weekend, Jean-Pierre said, “In this role, there’s been a couple things that have made me incredibly proud — many things, many things that have made me incredibly proud to be at that podium during this historic moment.”
“Again this is a historic administration. I’m a historic figure and I certainly walk in history every day,” she added.

Jean-Pierre became the White House press secretary in May 2022.
She is the first Black and openly gay person to serve in the position.
