U.S. House Rep Lauren Boebert (R-CO) today addressed a quote made by the White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre in a recent interview with “TheGrio.”
In the interview, Jean-Pierre described herself as a “historic figure,” leading Boebert to wonder if she woke up in North Korea.
Boebert explained in the tweet, “Karine Jean-Pierre is walking around calling herself a historical figure now.”
“Did I suddenly wake up in North Korea? Our ‘leaders’ are supposed to have some humility,” Boebert pointed out.

Jean-Pierre said during the interview, “Many things 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,” Jean-Pierre insisted.
Jean-Pierre appears to have been instructed to tout the accomplishments of the Biden Administration as poll numbers have begun to sag recently again.
In an audio clip shared today by Breaking911 in a tweet, Jean-Pierre can again be heard promoting the administration.
“If you look at what the President has done the last 2 years, it is more than any other President has done ever, right?” Jean-Pierre suggested.
