The former White House press sec preps a tell-all…
Ex-Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced Wednesday that she’s leaving the Democratic Party and preparing to release a tell-all book about her time in the “broken” Biden Admin.
KJP is now officially an independent and will drop her book this October.
“Jean-Pierre didn’t come to her decision to be an Independent lightly,” Hachette Book Group said in a promotional release. “She has served two American presidents, [Barack] Obama and Biden … She takes us through the three weeks that led to Biden’s abandoning his bid for a second term and the betrayal by the Democratic Party that led to his decision,” the tease goes.
“In a hard-hitting yet hopeful critique, Jean-Pierre defines what it means to be part of the growing percentage of our fractured electorate that is Independent, why it can be worthwhile to carve a political space more loyal to personal beliefs than a party affiliation, and what questions you need to ask yourself to determine where you fit politically.”
From The New York Post:
A prominent Democratic source fired back to The Post: “What her publisher means to tell readers is that she is INCOMPETENT, not independent. Just incompetent. But we don’t need to read about it— we watched it.”
“Put this ‘bombshell’ at the top of the Trump book-burn pile. Right next to Jake Tapper’s own toothless tome,” the source added.
Another top Democrat exclaimed, “I can’t look away” when asked for their reaction to the forthcoming work.
Jean-Pierre teased her tome in an Instagram video post Wednesday, saying: “I think we need to stop thinking in boxes and think outside of our boxes, and not be so partisan … this book ‘Independent’, it’s about looking outside of boxes, not just always being in a partisan stance.”
The press secretary’s tenure was marked by unflinching defenses of Biden’s mental acuity and performance.
At one 2022 briefing, she claimed — to the incredulity of the press corps — that the president called out the name of the late Rep. Jackie Walorski (R-Ind.) during an event because the deceased lawmaker was “top of mind.”
