REPORT: Inside The Failed White House Coup To Oust Biden Press Secretary

(Patriot Insider) – The White House has responded to reports that an effort was made in 2023 by top Democrats who work closely with President Joe Biden to give Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre the boot. I mean, it was only a matter of time before the radical left began to devour its own, right? We’ve been seeing signs of dissension in the ranks for a while now. But, of course, the name of the game is denial.

According to Johnathan Jones of The Western Journal, a spokesman for the president denied claims from two people quoted by the New York Post stating they were briefed on a plot to try and convince Jean-Pierre to step down from her post. Andrew Bates, who serves as the White House deputy press secretary, defended Jean-Pierre and told the Post that she was being “singled out.”

“A source told the Post that last fall, White House adviser Anita Dunn called in several ‘prominent Democrats’ to explain to Jean-Pierre that she should consider stepping away from her job after more than a year and a half,” Jones wrote.

“There were a number of people she asked to engage Karine,” the source went on to tell the Post. “There was an effort to have some outside folks who Karine knows and trusts talk to her about why leaving last fall would have made a lot of sense for her and her career.”

“The source said White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients had intricate knowledge of the plan and supported it. A second source told the Post that people in Biden’s inner circle beyond Dunn and Zients wanted Jean-Pierre to leave,” the piece continued. “But, the person said, there were concerns about how it might look if the White House’s black and lesbian spokeswoman was fired, demoted or replaced.”

“Jeff and Anita were trying to find Karine a graceful exit,” the Post’s second source insisted. “There’s a huge diversity issue, and they’re afraid of what folks are going to say.”

The second source then noted that the individuals involved in the plot wanted her gone for good reason, believing that she was not really up to the challenges that the job presented.

“Karine doesn’t have an understanding of the issues and she reads the book [binder] word-for-word … she thinks she’s doing an amazing job,” the person commented in their interview with the NY Post.

“She doesn’t have a grasp of the issues and doesn’t spend the time to learn,” the source added. “These issues are not second nature to people. Israel and Gaza is a perfect example. It’s very nuanced. Jen would have calls with people to feel well-versed enough to go to the briefing.”

This was a reference to Jen Psaki who occupied the position before Jean-Pierre.

The individual explained that speaking on behalf of the leader of the free world takes a whole lot more effort than what Jean-Pierre was putting in.

“There’s an enormous amount of work that goes into getting ready, and consistently she does not put in that level of work,” the source went on to say.

Bates released a statement denying that there was a plot to have Pierre leave her job. I mean, of course they are going to deny this. They don’t want it to appear as if there are cracks in the Democratic Party’s unity, especially during an election year.

“Not only are these claims wildly false, but the reality is the polar opposite,” Bates remarked. “Karine was never approached by anyone with such a message. She spends four hours preparing every day.”

He then mentioned both Dunn and Zients and stated that neither one of them wanted to see Jean-Pierre removed from the briefing room.

“He also took issue with the claim Jean-Pierre is ill-prepared for her job and cannot do it without a binder to reference during news briefings,” Jones disclosed.

“Every press secretary uses the binder,” Bates explained in his statement. “Why is she being singled out?”

Jean-Pierre has served as the press secretary since May 2022 when Psaki left to pursue a career with MSNBC. The sources for the Post article say they believe Jean-Pierre will be press secretary at least through the general election.
