They claimed Jean-Pierre, the first Black, gay, and immigrant woman to hold the role of White House press secretary, was not chosen for her “professional abilities.”
Instead, the TV hosts persisted with a racist and sexist farce on the state-owned Russian television channel Russia 1, where they said that she only got the job because she is a “dark-skinned immigrant.”
