Karine Jean-Pierre: Biden’s Omarosa With a Side of Self-Sabotage
It didn’t take long for Democrats to start cannibalizing their own after Biden’s political nosedive, but nothing captures the sheer chutzpah of Leftist politics quite like watching Karine Jean-Pierre—Biden’s Black lesbian mouthpiece—suddenly develop a conscience (and a profit motive).
KJP is Joe Biden’s Omarosa, if Omarosa had spent her White House tenure fumbling press briefings like a college intern who forgot to prep. The ink hadn’t even dried on Biden’s pardon-for-Hunter extravaganza before KJP decided to pull a Jerry Maguire and peace out. Except instead of “show me the money,” it’s “show me the book deal.”
Her upcoming literary masterpiece, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, is less a searing exposé and more a desperate cash grab from someone who spent years insisting Biden was “sharp as ever” while the man regularly mistook the Resolute Desk for a napping spot.
The Left Turns on Its Own (Because of Course It Does)
Alex Thompson at Axios dropped a deliciously scathing piece detailing how Bidenworld is now roasting KJP like a Thanksgiving turkey. Turns out, her former colleagues loathed her—not just for being spectacularly bad at her job, but for having the self-awareness of a goldfish.
Driving the news: Jean-Pierre’s announcement Wednesday led former Biden aides to tee off on her. Many quietly had fumed for years, believing she was incompetent at her job at the White House podium and more interested in promoting herself than Joe Biden.
News of her book—“Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines”—and that she was leaving the Democratic Party was the final straw for many people who’d worked with her.
Not to interrupt the flow with the obvious, but how many Democrats plan to write books revealing what the nation already knew about Joe Biden? At this rate, the party’s tell-alls will outnumber its voters.
The article continues:
The fighting within Bidenworld is part of larger post-election angst and grievances amid new reporting of how Biden’s staff tried to hide his physical and mental decline during his presidency.
*Jean-Pierre was a key part of the effort to conceal Biden’s decline, vouching for his fitness and insisting the president, then 81, was “as sharp as ever” even after last June’s disastrous debate against Donald Trump.*
Former Colleagues Unleash the Fury
If you thought KJP’s press briefings were a train wreck, wait until you hear what her own team had to say about her. Spoiler: It’s glorious.
What they’re saying: One former White House official who worked closely with Jean-Pierre told Axios that she “was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with. … She had meltdowns after any interview that asked about a topic not sent over by producers.”
“She didn’t know how to manage a team, didn’t know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved,” the official said.
A former Biden communications official threw more wood on the fire: “The hubris of thinking you can position yourself as an outsider when you not only have enjoyed the perks of extreme proximity to power—which … bestows the name recognition needed to sell books off your name—but have actively wielded it from the biggest pulpit there is, is as breathtaking as it is desperate … It’s difficult to see how this is anything but a bizarre cash grab.”
Another former White House official familiar with the dynamics told Axios: “The amount of time that was spent coddling [Jean-Pierre] and appeasing her was astronomical compared to our attention on actual matters of substance.”
A former senior spokesperson in Biden’s administration added: “It’s hard to believe someone could look at the past year and genuinely think, ‘The party left Joe Biden—that’s why I’m leaving the Democratic Party.’”
A former White House communications official added: “Today Karine lost the only constituency that ever supported her—party line Democrats.”
Jean-Pierre did not respond to requests for comment.
KJP’s Future: Grifter or Ghost?
KJP’s grand independent awakening is about as convincing as Biden’s “I’m-running-again” energy. She spent years propping up a failing administration, only to bail when the ship started sinking. Now, she wants to try to monetize the wreckage.
The real question: Who’s buying this book?
Democrats hate her, Republicans laugh at her, and independents… well, they probably don’t know who she is. Maybe she’ll pivot to Cameo videos: “For $50, I’ll awkwardly dodge your question just like I did at the White House!”
One thing’s for sure—KJP better hope that book advance was hefty, because she just torched her only career bridge. And given her track record, let’s just say competence isn’t her strong suit.
