"How did she get that job?" - Joe Rogan blasts "terrible" Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as JRE guest makes "intersectional identities" hire claim

Joe Rogan recently sounded off on White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and blasted her for incompetence. The famous podcaster also touched upon the subject of diversity hiring for high-profile government positions.

For context, Jean-Pierre was appointed press secretary under the Biden administration in May 2022 and is the first black woman to serve in the position. She's also the first to identify as an LGBT person openly. She previously served as a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC.

During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast (JRE #2113) with filmmaker Christopher Rufo, the UFC commentator discussed politics with his guest and brought up Biden's allegedly poor health. Rogan then pointed out that Jean-Pierre accidentally posted on X from Biden's account and said:

"I love when that happens... I kinda had a feeling it was you. Is there ever been a worse White House press secretary? How did she get that job? She's so bad at convincing people... She's f**king terrible at it... She's awful at it."

Building on Rogan's point, Rufo continued:

"It's what happens when you put identity over competence. When you hire someone its a big celebration of all the intersectional identities the candidate has... You elevated that person because of identity; you can't fire that person because of incompetence."
