WH spokesperson botches names, gender of Hawaii Democrat senators
NY Post | 08/14/2023 | Josh ChristensonWhite House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre both mispronounced the names of Hawaii’s two Democratic senators and misgendered one of them at a Monday press conference after the island suffered the most devastating US wildfire in more than a century.
“Senator Harino [sic], who I said the president spoke to just last night, he thanked the president for the immediate support of federal agencies have delivered for residents of Hawaii,” the Biden administration’s chief spokesperson told reporters, “and so does, has, so has Senator Shorts, Sharts — Schatz.”
Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), the first female senator from the Aloha State, is serving her second term in the upper chamber after having been a member of the House of Representatives for two consecutive terms.
Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) is serving his second full term after having been tapped in 2012 by Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie to replace the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye.
Shorts, Sharts, Schatz. Great campaign slogan. Memorable.
Will KJP get cancelled for misgendering?
At least she didn’t bring Biden’s Sharts into it…
Silly conservatives. It’s only misgendering if you fail to accept a make-believe gender.
I’m pretty sure Trump could get a fair trial in Hawaii…I mean Obamaland.
Shorts, Sharts, Schatz. Hey, at least she got the chronology correct.
Shorts, Sharts, and Schatz sounds like the perfect name for a law firm.
