Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s new attempt to distance herself from the Democratic Party while diagnosing its problems is landing with a thud.
A vague synopsis of a new book from the former press secretary was met with jeers from her former colleagues, as it declared that Jean-Pierre had both left the Democratic Party and also written a book focused on the three weeks it took Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race.
“It’s called grift,” said one former senior White House official. “What in the fuck” said another.
