Karine Jean-Pierre says three military reservists from Georgia died while fighting for the Biden administration.
The White House press secretary said the soldiers died when a drone strike hit their U.S. base in Jordan.

The drone strike injured 25 other soldiers on the base in Jordan.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, Jean-Pierre suggested the soldiers died while representing the Biden administration.
A visibly shaken Jean-Pierre struggled to get her words out.
“Our deepest, obviously our deepest condolences go out, and our heartfelt condolences go out to the families who lost, uh, three, three brave, uh, three brave, uh, three brave, three folks who are military folks, who are brave, who are always fighting, who are fighting on behalf of, uh, this administration, of the American people, obviously more so, more importantly, uh, we lost those souls.”
Congresswoman Lauren Boebert attempted to correct Jean-Pierre.
Boebert tweeted: “No, Karine Jean-Pierre. Our military doesn’t fight for the Biden administration. Our military fights for the American people and to protect our freedoms.”
Biden has vowed to strike back, even if it means starting a war in Iran.
Biden’s critics say the Iranians used money from the Biden administration to kill American soldiers.
However, Jean-Pierre said Biden is focused on protecting U.S. troops.
“Look, the president, you heard from the president yesterday… He said, he said, uh, we shall respond… I’m not going to infringe on the president’s decision here. The president has always been very clear as commander-in-chief. What he focuses on, obviously, is making sure that we protect our troops.”
MSNBC host Joy Reid slammed President Biden for “starting another f***ing war.”
Reid dropped the F-bomb during Monday’s episode of “The Reid Out.”
After criticizing the Republicans for the border crisis, Reid played a video of Biden.
“And Congress needs to get it done,” Biden said.
That’s when Reid said “starting another f***ing war.”
Reid’s gaffe went viral on Twitter/X. She apologized at the end of her show.
“Before we go, I just want to apologize very quickly. I was chatting during a clip that was playing, and you know, we try to keep this show very PG-13. So I just want to apologize to anyone who was listening to my ‘behind the scenes’ chatter. I deeply, deeply apologize for that.”
