Karine Jean-Pierre ripped for saying 3 US troops killed in Jordan died fighting for ‘the administration’: ‘An embarrassment’

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre triggered outrage Monday after saying three US troops killed by a weekend drone strike in Jordan had died “fighting on behalf of the administration” rather than America.

“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,” Jean-Pierre told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” struggling to form a coherent sentence.

Three Army soldiers were killed and more than 40 others wounded in the early Sunday drone attack targeting Tower 22, a US outpost along Jordan’s border with Syria.
