Jean-Pierre criticized for praising WH press team: Actually 'worst in the business'
The "best team in the business" lied about the president's mental and physical fitness, ultimately failing.
This week, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced criticism from conservative social media users for posting a photo of the White House communications team, praising them as the "best in the business."
President Biden's press secretary has been accused of lying on behalf of the president by critics who dispute his claims.
Jean-Pierre's post was criticized by conservative columnist Tim Young, who stated that it required an army to create non-answers and lies.
On Friday, the outgoing press secretary posted a photo on her X account featuring herself and about a dozen of her staff members smiling while standing next to President Biden.

Jean-Pierre's time as press secretary faced criticism after a photo went viral and attracted heat from a multitude of critics.
In a Washington Times column, Tim Murtaugh criticized Jean-Pierre and his team for lying about the president's mental and physical fitness, ultimately leading to Trump's victory. Murtaugh called them the "best team in the business" and stated that their work was a complete repudiation of everything they did in their most important jobs.
"Nice work," he added.
What makes this team the best in business, according to Eli Lake of The Free Press?
Jean-Pierre and her team were criticized by conservative radio host Michael Berry, who posted a series of tweets calling them "dumb and dumber" and "even dumber" until he ran out of adjectives.
Chuck Ross, an investigative reporter for The Washington Free Beacon, stated, "Being the worst in the business guarantees them a salary of $300k+ in That Town within a few months."
David Marcus, a Planet Chronicle columnist, accused the White House communications teams of lying about Biden's health and other major issues throughout his presidency. He stated, "These are the individuals who assisted in deceiving the American public about Biden's mental abilities and plans to pardon his son. I would hide my head in shame if I were one of them."
Bonchie, a RedState.com writer, expressed his frustration that he has yet to see any indication of shame from her.
Despite being the easiest job in the universe, being press secretary for a Democrat still proved to be a failure for the team, according to Mollie Hemingway, the Federalist editor-in-chief.
Jean-Pierre's last year on the job was characterized by more embarrassing explanations and defenses of Biden's presidency.
She ignited a feud with CBS reporter Ed O'Keefe, questioned Biden's inflammatory rhetoric about then-candidate Donald Trump after he was almost assassinated twice, and dismissed videos of Biden looking frail as "cheap fakes."
