Jumping Ship: Karine Jean-Pierre And The Democratic Party’s Meltdown

Things are going so well for the Democratic Party that Karine Jean-Pierre, White House Press Secretary under Joe Biden and someone who clearly knew the man was no longer mentally capable, has now decided she’s no longer a Democrat; she is now an Independent.

I know, I know, it’s a little late to run away from the sinking ship, especially when you’re the person who actually drilled the holes. 

But Karine Jean-Pierre is now trying to do just that — and make money off of it. She has a brand-new book coming out titled “Independent,” which is hilarious coming from the least independent person of all time.

According to Politico:

Karine Jean-Pierre’s announcement that she’s leaving the Democratic Party — timed with the rollout of a new book — has detonated long-simmering grievances among her former White House colleagues about Jean-Pierre’s pursuit of celebrity and personal media exposure while serving as then-President Joe Biden’s press secretary.

The attention-grabbing ploy lit up Democratic and Biden alumni texting groups and reignited frustrations that burned for years about Jean-Pierre, according to seven former Biden administration officials granted anonymity to describe private conversations.

First of all, we should point out that everyone knew she was incompetent. For years I called her history’s worst White House Press Secretary because she was awful at her job, truly terrible, a joke.

And Democrats kept defending her.

Why? Because, of course, she was intersectional. She was a black lesbian who was also the White House Press Secretary even though she was wildly incompetent. We had a DEI hire covering for a dead man in the White House. And everyone in the Democratic Party thought this was perfectly fine until the moment it imploded on them.

Politico continued:

One former official recalled that Jean-Pierre had joked about becoming an independent even while on the job in the Biden White House, an off-key comment for someone ostensibly serving as a major messenger for the Democratic Party. Another former official said that Jean-Pierre had begun working during the Biden administration with a New York-based publicist and had copied that person on official emails before some of Jean-Pierre’s White House colleagues intervened. “Everyone thinks this is a grift,” the first former official said of Jean-Pierre’s book project.

This is objective reporting because it happens to be true:

As Biden’s press secretary, Jean-Pierre’s halting, ineffectual briefings exasperated reporters and routinely offered material for the Republican Party’s main account on X. She frustrated colleagues throughout the West Wing for focusing on raising her own profile while leaving the hands-on management of media relations and the White House press shop to other aides. 

While it’s unclear how she will portray Biden or her time in the White House in the book, titled ‘Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,’ several former colleagues expressed confusion at how Jean-Pierre seemingly intends to paint Biden as a victim while pinning her own decision to leave the party on his “broken” White House.

This is going to be fun to watch Democrats tear each other apart over all of this.

This self-sabotage of the Democratic Party is the realistic response of a party of people who can’t build things. And right now, they are facing down a relatively impregnable Trump administration.

They’ve decided not to attack any of the vulnerabilities of the Trump administration. They’re spending all their time focusing inward, and they can’t help but do so because the reality is that their own politics are so broken and so angry and vicious and just anti-American in so many ways that they’re just tearing one another apart.
