KJP Blasted After Offering Condolences to Families of 3 ‘Military Folks’ Who Fought ‘On Behalf of This Administration’

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is facing criticism after she offered her condolences to the families of three U.S. troops killed in Jordan.

On Sunday, CNN reported three Army soldiers were killed and over 30 were injured in a drone attack on an outpost in Jordan. U.S. officials blamed the attack on 🇮🇷Iran-backed militants.

And during an appearance on MSNBC on Monday, Jean-Pierre said, “I will say, obviously our deepest condolences go out — and our heartfelt condolences go out — to the families who lost three — three brave — three brave uh — three folks who are military folks who are brave, who are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf of this administration — of the American people, obviously more so, more importantly.”

The Daily Wire’s Brent Scher wrote X, “This is awful.”

“Just yikes…” conservative commentator Stephen Miller posted.

“Say what you will about this word salad, but the idea that anyone in the military is fighting on behalf of any administration is precisely what is wrong with the DC ruling class. Disgusting comment,” wrote Jeremy Redfern, a press secretary for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

Former Sen. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) wrote, “Note to the Press Secretary… These are not ‘folks’. They are service members who gave their lives NOT for this administration, but for the Country they serve!”

“They are our best and deserve better than this,” he added.

Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) chimed in, “They’re called ‘service members’ – maybe she should visit a base sometime. Or spend a day at Arlington National Cemetery.”

CNN noted the attack is the first time since the Israel-Hamas war began that U.S. service members were killed by enemy fire.

Addressing the attack on Sunday, Biden vowed, “We shall respond.”
