Top aides to Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door ...
Jean-Pierre, who made history in May 2022 by becoming the first black and first openly gay person to hold the position, had developed the exasperating habit of reading canned answers directly from a binder to reporters at her regular briefings — offering what her superiors viewed as a less-than-compelling pitch for the 81-year-old Biden as he readied his re-election campaign.
De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, 66, the wife of Biden personal attorney Bob Bauer, told colleagues she had decided to call in prominent Democrats to explain to Jean-Pierre, 49, that the time was ripe to move on
...
Dunn had claimed White House chief of staff Jeff Zients knew about and supported the cloak-and-dagger scheme to push Jean-Pierre out of the West Wing
...
There’s a huge diversity issue and they’re afraid of what folks are going to say
...
“Karine doesn’t have an understanding of the issues and she reads the book [binder] word-for-word ... the situation is made worse by the fact that “she thinks she’s doing an amazing job.”
“She doesn’t have a grasp of the issues and doesn’t spend the time to learn,”
...
While Kirby is the odds-on favorite to replace Jean-Pierre as press secretary should she depart the position, there are other contenders for the opening — including Brian Fallon, formerly Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign press secretary and currently ..Kamala Harris’ re-election campaign communications director, who one source said has undergone an “ego detoxing” in his current post.

Way to go.Give the left ammunition with your childish racist comment.SMH
I watch it to see how far my jaw drops when she blinks out her canned responses. I remember when every little girl had to have a doll that looks like her back in the 50s.
They were really cute dolls; but the girls categorized them in racist terms, unthinkingly.
When I see KJP it takes me back to those times.
She's awful, but they're TERRIFIED of firing her, and apparently she's too stupid to take multiple hints!
For some reason I had the impression DeDee Meyers was gay.
Supposedly, she serviced both Bill and Hillary, but not at the same time but maybe the same night.
The President has the sole authority to appoint or remove the White House Press Secretary. No one else has any authority over direct Presidential appointments. As long as Biden does not fire her and she wants to stay, no one can force her out. Anyone trying this behind Biden's back would have overstepped their authority and risk losing clout inside the administration.
Dunn has been in Washington DC and has known Biden for years. She knows enough to know trying to pressure Jean-Pierre to quit like this is a bad idea.
Ugh. I’m eating my dinner. :)
Markie Post was also rumored to service both Bill and Hill.
“Karine doesn’t have an understanding of the issues and she reads the book [binder] word-for-word ... the situation is made worse by the fact that “she thinks she’s doing an amazing job.”
Like her boss. “Four more years! Pause!”
This gal makes me miss the late Tony Snow ……he had class .
.
She’s the perfect poster child for DEI - definitely Didn’t Earn It!
I sure did NOT want that mental image burned into my brain!
They should have known that she has at least double immunity.
“Awright. Which of you just said I look like The Joker...?”
“she thinks she’s doing an amazing job.”
There’s nothing like an incompetent with a super-sized ego.
She referred to herself as an historic figure.
DEI BLACK LESBIAN WOMEN, impossible to remove
