Jen Psaki admitted she was struggling to fight back tears as she introduced her 'partner in truth' Karine Jean-Pierre as President Joe Biden's new press secretary.

'I'm going to cry', an emotional Psaki said at the start of her briefing on Thursday as she brought her successor up to the podium and hugged her.

'I just want to take the opportunity to celebrate and congratulate my friend, my colleague, my partner in truth Karine Jean-Pierre, the next White House Press Secretary,' Psaki said.

Fox News' Peter Doocy then said he will miss his favorite sparring partner Psaki in the briefing room. She responded by saying: 'Will you?'

She refused to comment on her future and said she is only looking forward to 'sleeping' and 'reading books'. She then asked reporters for Netflix suggestions.

Jean-Pierre, 44, will be the first black female White House press secretary and first openly LGBTQ+ person in the role, Psaki said in a tweet celebrating her successor.

'Karine not only brings the experience, talent and integrity needed for this difficult job, but she will continue to lead the way in communicating about the work of the Biden-Harris Administration on behalf of the American people,' Biden said in a statement.

Biden said he and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden 'have known and respected Karine a long time and she will be a strong voice

He went on to praise Psaki' for 'returning decency' to the White House briefing room in what appears to be a veiled jab at the Trump administration's more combative relationship with the press.

'Jen Psaki has set the standard for returning decency, respect and decorum to the White House Briefing Room,' Biden said. 'I want to say thank you to Jen for raising the bar, communicating directly and truthfully to the American people

Well very few blackspeakers or reporters do I pay any attention to - and certainly none on the left at a Gov. Press Conference. I'm no longer interested in their point of view.

>> Can you say TOKEN?? <<

It’s efficient, you hafta admit. Not just female, but also gay AND black. Can’t wait to hear how she explains how deeply, personally she was affected by Roe v Wade.

[caww]

Absolutely - and they expect everyone to go along with it kicking and screaming if it must be.

[noexcuses]

Why do we need to know she’s a lesbian? Was Psaki ever introduced as a dyed red haired heterosexual?

So she openly lesbian gay bisexual transgendered and plus, whatever that means? I guess just saying “A dyke” was too easy.

A person that gets paid to Lie for a guy that never tells the truth has a truth partner??

Oh, how sweet. They are just so special. The most tone deaf administration just can't grok the sour notes they pushing on the American voter and they just double down on the insanity. But heck - the first openly LGBTQ + ++++ black woman press secretary is sooooooooo historic. She's gonna help make history, big time. - I'm very confident of that. And that history is going to be made this coming November.
