Peppermint Patty, please come back! Jean-Pierre raises the bar for insanity in the White House
New White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has already reached a low point, at least for the time being, when she was asked about infant formula.
On Monday, the White House again failed to respond to questions about the infant formula, as Jean-Pierre was left stumped by a simple request for the latest information on the problem.
