I don’t really care about if she passed a bar or not, she was press secretary, not attorney general.

I’m sorry that she was put in a position that probably caused her some embarrassment, people shouldn’t be treated like that.

In the military, we’d call that a blatant lack of integrity.

She started and committed to a lie years ago never thinking she’d put herself (let’s not forget personal responsibility) in a position where her previous claims would be cross-examined.

If she had told the truth from the start or minimally not put herself forth/accept a job that focuses exclusively on national media coverage. This wouldn’t be a problem.

She was a DEI hire. She's attractive but not at all ready for the job. Embarrassing.

I don’t know if being beautiful falls into the DEI bucket, but obviously her attractiveness was a reason she was selected.

She’s a very pretty woman. She wasn’t very skilled at handling the press corp and she was obviously nervous during her first outing. Her shaky initial press brief was rough to see, I felt very bad for her because I’ve been on stage and felt that anxiety.

Anyway, I don’t know that DEI has anything to do with it. It wasn’t her ethnicity, it was her attractiveness - but yeah her physical presence was one of the things

Don't forget "Dr." Jill Biden.

I don't like her or her family. But she does have a doctorate degree. Do I think it's silly people call themselves "doctor" if it's not in a medical field? Yes

PhDs are older than MDs

My favorite was when Whoopi announced Jill should’ve been Surgeon General of The United States.

I guess if you develop cancer, Dr. Jill would make you identify some gerunds and past participles.

Jill Biden holds a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in educational leadership from the University of Delaware. Not a PhD.

Jill Biden has a PhD in educational leadership. A PhD is also called a doctorate and Doctor is the proper title for anyone that holds one regardless of their profession.

Jill Biden holds a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in educational leadership from the University of Delaware. Not a PhD. That level is not considered a "doctor". Moreover, there have been charges of thesis plagiarism.

Exactly, the liberal media said she was a medical doctor numerous times.

Dems are the greatest threat to the Republic
