Chicago - One of the authors of the new blockbuster Joe Biden was on Thursday at White House staff’s real sense of the curtains for former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

During their "Primary Crime" tour in Chicago, Jean-Pierre's new book announced that they announced the "Broken White House" where she worked and left her Democrats to become an independent party.

"Someone texted me before I got on stage, and it was a former Byton guy, 'It's the ballet move that you're leaving the Democratic Party because they're not loyal to Joe Biden." But that's what she meant.

Thompson noted that despite Jean-Pierre's White House press secretary, Biden Administration, in the Biden administration's "massive comments" of the Biden administration, she was seen as "untouchable" due to her allies with top Jill Biden aide Anthony Bernal.

"I think the anger of the former Bidens is really outrageous ... frustrated by the way she works, feels she is not good at it, not knowing she is not good at it, she is not trying to get better. And, people are paying more attention to improving their profile than not."

"Now after letting her out, the Democrats elevated her to the country's top spokesperson job and then let her try to sell books by leaving the party, and they said the example's resentment exploded immediately."

Tapper speculates that if Jean-Pierre doesn't announce that he has become independent, then the "drift" against Jean-Pierre will make no sense to him.

Event host NPR Media Correspondent David Folkenflik asked Tapper and Thompson why former Biden employees generally “don’t use their names” because they criticized Jean-Pierre.

"I want to know, too." Tapper reacted. "Because, like what are you afraid of?"

Thompson insists that many of them don’t want to speak out because they’ve found new jobs since then and don’t want their employers to be associated with mud.

"I'll also talk about Biden culture "It's about punishing and trying to destroy those who say it. I think some people are still afraid of revenge," Thompson said.

Tapper added that since Jean-Pierre was a trailblazer, “as the first black woman and LGBTQ press secretary, that’s another reason her former colleagues didn’t speak out.

Both authors scrutinize Jean-Pierre's credibility after faithfully defending Biden's faithful defense before and after the disastrous debate performance.

Tapper recalls a private fundraising event in 2023 that Biden participated in him, and he didn’t send a message, and how he told donors how his canned remarks about Charlottesville inspired his presidential campaign in 2020, and in a few minutes, he ran twice in 2020, and the press conference below, Jean-Pierre told reporters in the media below how he felt, “Well, how he felt, that’s what he was like.

"She rarely sees him for defense," Tapper quipped.
