Karine Jean-Pierre
Also on Tuesday, Sen. John Fetterman said he will display posters until every hostage is returned, and King Charles condemned Hamas’s “barbaric acts of terrorism.”
The White House press secretary, who began the daily press conference ostensibly to correct her pivot to Islamophobia the day before when asked about Jew-hatred, began discussing Muslims again.
Karine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, claimed that “Muslim and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks.”
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was given several chances to clarify whether the congresswoman’s remarks were antisemitic and if Netanyahu was invited to the White House.
Criticism of the appointment came mostly from Jewish groups, who think that the White House is further exacerbating the out-of-control rise in anti-Semitism in the United States by appointing someone with Karine Jean-Pierre’s record.
Karine Jean-Pierre is set to take over the role on May 13.
Karine Jean-Pierre has criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and slammed AIPAC for opposing the Iran nuclear deal.
Karine Jean-Pierre wrote that they “made the right call,” and that AIPAC’s policies and values “are not progressive.”
