Karine Jean-Pierre compares Democrats calling for Biden to be kicked off the ticket to a 'firing squad'
Fox News ^ | 2/28/25 | Alexander Hall

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spoke about how "shocking" it was to see Democratic Party leaders criticize then-President Joe Biden to the point where he stepped down from the race.

A month into President Donald Trump’s second term in office, the Democratic Party is still reeling from the 2024 race. One of the race’s most contentious aspects was how leaders and influential figures in the party demanded Biden relinquish the party’s nomination after his disastrous debate performance last June.

At an event at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University, Jean-Pierre was asked to share an anecdote about the challenges she faced in the three weeks after that debate up until Biden dropped out, and whether he should have run at all.

"He was the President of the United States at the time, he was the leader of the Democratic Party. It was truly his decision to make on what he wanted to do, and I supported that 100%. Whatever it was, I was going to support that 100%," she answered. "Because he had the right to, as the leader of the Democratic Party coming out of a pretty successful midterm. There was supposed to be a red wave, there wasn't a red wave."

The great challenge of that three-week period, she said, came from other parts of the Democratic Party itself.

"I… look, personally, I think what was the toughest thing to see in the three weeks was there was a disconnect for me [in] what was happening with leadership in the Democratic Party and how it was truly, as my former colleague, communications director Ben Labolt said, it was a firing squad."

Er, biden was getting slaughtered by Trump.

Not sure if anyone could have beaten Trump from the d party, considering my groceries were costing a billion dollars a week.

Just not yet.

It takes a while and Trump just got in

For once, she was right. It was a circular firing squad (as she suggested with her hand motion when she said it) but it was still a firing squad.

With all the Democrat soul searching, I wonder if any regret the coup against Biden, and putting Kamala in there?

Knowing what they now know, how the election turned out, how many Democrats are willing to say it was a mistake to push Joe out?

Democrats ‘feel’ if words fall out of their mouths that it’s real... In short, stupid is as stupid does...

A “self-imposed” circular firing squad.

“...to the point where he stepped down from the race.”

No one steps down, they are told they wouldn’t be supported by the powers that be.

I like the way the crazy lesbo Haitian made a circular motion with her hand when she said those who came after Biden formed a “firing squad surrounding Biden.” ROTFL! The old circular firing squad gag.

I don’t believe that Karine Jean-Pierre can give a coherent enough presentation for Harvard!
