Karine Jean-Pierre Roasted Over ‘Brutal’ 20-Second Explanation of Why the US Shot Down Object Over Canada

The news the U.S. shot down an object over Canada's Yukon territory has sparked some questions.

Namely, why did the U.S. military shoot down something over another country's territory?

The White House would probably want a smooth-talking spokesperson who could explain the situation -- especially with the speculation about extraterrestrial activity surrounding such objects.

Instead, it got 20 painful seconds of an explanation that included messing up the name of our northern neighbor.

MSNBC's Jonathan Capehart asked White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre , "Why is the American military shooting something out of the sky over Canada?"

"Because it's part of, uh, NORAD. The NORAD is part of like a, uh part of a, it's a – it's uh what you call a coalition, a pact. And so that's why we were able to do that," she responded.

The press secretary stressed, "Again, we didn't do it on our own. We did it in uh – in uh clearly, in uh, in step with Canadia – Canada."

Newsmax host Addison Smith wrote, "It took her 30 seconds to say two incoherent things; imagine how long it would take her to say one thing that made sense."

"Not only did she stumble her way through this, and not make sense in the process, but she said Canadia. Just mind boggling how bad she is at this," wrote Beverly Hallberg, the president of the District Media Group."

The answer to this question should not be too hard. It is not rocket science. But to be fair to Jean-Pierre, who has not struggled while searching for a word?

Still, this is her job. And she has a history of struggling to give coherent answers on the big issue of the day when she is deprived of the aid of a binder -- if she answers the question at all.

Aside from the optics of replacing a historic pick to be press secretary, which might be playing a role, it is rather impressive she has made it this far in the job.
