When KJP says it is a "priority for the President, " you should understand that it is NOT a priority for the President.

I wanna know why the cops who stopped the Nashville shooter have not been invited to the White House yet#FJB

[AB-wvbs]

Just watch her flip thru that notebook.. what a joke

[donaldjackson]

Because he's a straight white dude.... hello!

[swong]

The "process" is that they have no effective process...WHIMPS

[Sitra]

Translation: “It’s not my job or my problem”

[mindyourbusiness]

Most worthless administration since Carter 🤨

[melipretzel]

Her nervous twitchy blink says it all. She’s an unfortunate pawn in this charade

[josephtalmadge]

He has no hope under this administration unless he's a transgender basketball player

[freddydare]

She's above the law she should be in jail and have a felony

[jayconant]

Remember when biden told that u.s. blue collar factory worker ..I don't work for you, that spoke volumes

[raylancrockett]

I'm pretty sure she's on the verge of saying "f**k it!".

[AzraealGamer]

She is supposed to be a professional speaker. She is as inept as the party she speaks for.

[dog-gone-it]

Its because Evan's not gay, blk or trans.
I hate it when she says.."that's all you need to know."
Its like she's talking to children. My son would ask me something that I felt I shouldn't go all the way into and I'd say that. It's rude, it's condescending, and it's not answering the questions. Why have a brief if you're not going to answer. I can't stand her. Worst press secretary ever. Then again she is just like this administration.

[criticalthought]

Because he doesn't care about Americans!!! Duh

[bloodymctandy]

He doesn’t care about, what happens to people he doesn’t like!!

[karenmessinger]

If it isn putting money in his pocket he doesn't care.

[coolisin]

KJP WAS ARRESTED FOR DRUNK DRIVING SOMEONE ASK HER, ,,

[chrislewis]

He needs to identify as a transgender lesbian and they’ll have him home in a week.

You know it appears to me, suppose our president is in a fog.
He doesn't seem to have any idea what proper protocol is.
To be quite Frank with you I'm a little disgusted with the powers-that-be.
It seems above and Way beyond the obvious reality, this man is incapable of doing the job that he's been elected to do.
There's a question whether or not it's his fault.
And we'll get no help from his wife care for him and protection.
Not to mention the harmed it is being done to our country.
