John Kirby and Karine Jean-Pierre are battling over the White House podium, but KJP, as awful as she is at the job,  doesn’t want to give it up. Since October, they’ve been sharing the podium, but she still picks the reporters that Kirby is allowed to answer, which causes tension.

Axios reports:

It won’t matter. They’re both liars; Kirby is just better at it.

Meanwhile, Simon Ateba knew it from the start.

Fox discusses how this happened in the first place. It’s hard to listen to Fox these days. They kept calling Kirby an effective communicator. He’s such a nice guy.
