American Wire News Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s book tour has managed to produce a moment of unity, much to her chagrin.
Both sides of the political aisle are joining forces to ridicule KJP’s New Yorker interview. The embarrassing event took place while she was promoting her new book Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.
Journalist Isaac Chotiner pressed KJP on her decision to leave the Democratic Party, at which time she also accused senior party members of strong-arming her former boss, President Joe Biden, out of the 2024 presidential race. The former press secretary’s response was shockingly bad.

There’s a period of time that I questioned what was happening and how do we treat our own, how do we treat people who are decent people? And then you also have to think about how I’m thinking about this as a Black woman who is part of the L.G.B.T.Q. community, and living in this time where I also don’t think Democrats right now, Democrats’ leadership, is protecting vulnerable people in the way that it should,” KJP answered, defaulting to her own identity politics instead of answering the question.
