Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, the woman who couldn’t answer a direct question to save her life, now claims she’s an “Independent” in her upcoming tell-all book about Biden’s “broken” administration – a suspiciously timed revelation that reeks of opportunism and desperation.

From Party Loyalist to “Independent” Overnight
Remember Karine Jean-Pierre? The stammering press secretary who spent her days at the White House podium insisting that Biden was the pinnacle of mental acuity while the rest of America watched him wander off stage, confuse world leaders, and hold conversations with thin air? Well, she’s had an epiphany, folks! After loyally defending the Democratic agenda and Biden’s cognitive capabilities for years, she’s suddenly an “independent” thinker – just in time to sell her new book. This miraculous political conversion couldn’t possibly have anything to do with publishing profits or career reinvention. No, surely not.
Jean-Pierre’s book, ominously titled “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” is set to hit shelves on October 21. According to promotional materials, this tell-all promises to expose the dysfunction within the Biden administration and explain why she could no longer align herself with the Democratic Party. Interesting timing, considering she defended that same administration through countless embarrassing episodes, border crises, inflation spikes, and foreign policy disasters without a hint of ideological wavering.
Even Liberal Media Isn’t Buying It
What’s particularly delicious about this political theater is that even the left-leaning media isn’t swallowing Jean-Pierre’s sudden conversion. Charlotte Klein of New York Magazine dedicated an entire article to questioning Jean-Pierre’s motives, using the word “independent” a whopping 17 times – often with a healthy dose of skepticism. When you’ve lost New York Magazine, you know your rebrand is about as convincing as Biden claiming he’s fit for another term. Liberal journalists recognize what’s happening here: the Democratic brand has become so toxic that former insiders are desperately trying to distance themselves.
“She understands that the Democratic Party’s brand is so bad that there’s some cache to being an independent right now,” one Democratic strategist told me. “But the thing is she became an independent not because of how horrified she was by people propping up the barely coherent Joe Biden, but because she thinks people were too mean to Joe Biden and pushed him out unfairly. That doesn’t make any sense.” Klein said.
The truth is that Jean-Pierre isn’t blazing some brave new political path – she’s following a growing trend of former Democratic operatives and media figures rebranding themselves as “independents” as the party’s policies continue to fail spectacularly. Chuck Todd, Tara Palmeri, and Chris Cillizza are all exploring this same territory. After all, when your party has alienated most of America with open borders, rampant inflation, and woke indoctrination, who wouldn’t want to create some distance?
Former Colleagues Spill the Tea
Perhaps the most revealing aspect of this saga is what Jean-Pierre’s former colleagues are saying about her. These aren’t conservatives with an axe to grind – these are fellow Democrats who worked alongside her in the Biden administration. And their assessment is brutal. One former White House official didn’t mince words, saying Jean-Pierre “didn’t know how to manage a team, didn’t know how to shape or deliver a message, and often created more problems than she solved.” Another described her in even less flattering terms.
“What her publisher means to tell readers is that she is INCOMPETENT, not independent. Just incompetent. But we don’t need to read about it— we watched it.” A prominent Democratic source fired back at The Post.
Initially, Jean-Pierre reportedly had her sights set on a cushy gig on “The View,” that bastion of balanced political discourse where conservative viewpoints go to be shouted down. When that opportunity didn’t materialize (imagine that!), she pivoted to this new “independent” identity. A former Biden official who worked with her put it perfectly: “I know people are saying it’s a money grab, but if she wanted to make money, I feel like she could probably come up with something better than this. I don’t understand what she’s going for or what she’s trying to do. She just pissed off a lot of Democrats, and it’s not like Republicans liked her.”
A Transparent Calculation
The Jean-Pierre saga perfectly encapsulates the current state of Democratic politics. When the ship is sinking, the rats don’t just flee – they rebrand themselves as independent sailors who never really liked that vessel anyway. Her book claims to explore the “growing trend of political independence,” but what it really demonstrates is the growing trend of political opportunism. After years of dutifully defending policies that have harmed American families and businesses, she now wants to position herself as somehow above the fray.
“Former colleagues expressed confusion at how Jean-Pierre seemingly intends to paint Biden as a victim while pinning her own decision to leave the party on his ‘broken’ White House” Politico reported, citing multiple former Biden administration officials.
Let’s be honest: This isn’t about a genuine political awakening. It’s about a former Democratic operative trying to salvage her career after being part of one of the most catastrophic administrations in American history. It’s about trying to monetize the dysfunction she helped enable and defend. Americans across the political spectrum see through this transparent calculation. Slapping an “independent” label on the same old Democratic talking points doesn’t make them any more palatable – it just makes them more dishonest. In politics, as in life, actions speak louder than book titles.
