WTF?

Karine Jean-Pierre's conversation with The New Yorker panned as 'incoherent,' and 'career-ending'

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was mocked online after sitting down for an interview with The New Yorker about her new book, which critics described as "incoherent," "entertaining" and "career-ending."

Her book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines," attacked the Democratic Party for its treatment of former President Joe Biden, who dropped out of the 2024 race after weeks of pressure from members of his own party, following a disastrous debate performance.

Political commentators and journalists posted screenshots of the interview with the New Yorker's Isaac Chotiner, pointing to different parts of the conversation with Jean-Pierre.

Journalist Josh Barro highlighted a portion of the interview where Jean-Pierre insisted the "broken White House" she refers to in the title is President Donald Trump's White House.

"You’re telling me about the feelings of Joe Biden, blah, blah, blah, but Joe Biden is out of the picture. He’s out of the picture," Jean-Pierre told the interviewer, who said, "Yeah, he sure is."

Chotiner pushed back, "This is what you wrote your book about. I am not bringing it up randomly."

Jean-Pierre argued in the interview that the book was about the moment the country is in and said, "So what are the Democratic leadership actually doing to beat back and fight back? What are they doing?"

"Good Lord. Read this entire interview. It's hard to even begin to describe Karine Jean-Pierre's answers. They are largely incoherent," New York Times columnist David French wrote.

French added that the former press secretary was obsessed with loyalty and respect.

Semafor's David Weigel wrote, "Turns out you can do a career-ending interview even after your career is over."

"Ruthless" podcast co-host Michael Duncan posted, "This is one of the most hilarious interviews I've ever read

The Atlantic's Jonathan Chait asked, "How was KJP hired for her job in the first place?"

The National Review's James Lynch pointed to a portion of the interview and wrote, "total gibberish."

Chotiner pressed Jean-Pierre on her writing that she didn't think former Vice President Kamala Harris could win, while also taking issue with people who "didn’t seem to think Harris could win by saying they were insulting her."

"I wish you could walk in my body and live my life, and then I think you could understand what I’m saying. I really do, because I think any other Black woman would understand what I’m saying. What it truly is is that it wasn’t just an open primary or a brokered convention. There was disrespect to her as well. It was discounting her and her position and who she was. That’s what it felt like," Jean-Pierre wrote.

"This is a very unique thing that I don’t think anyone would understand unless you walked in our bodies and lived our lives. My feeling was not about her not being qualified. It was about people not being able to see past her being Black and a woman. It’s not that confusing for us because we live this life day in and day out," the passage continued.

Jean-Pierre was also asked multiple times by Chotiner if she felt Biden could have served through January 2029.

"It’s not my place to say," she said, as Chotiner asked what she meant by that.

"No, no, no. Wait, I’m answering the question. I did not see anything that would cause me concern. That is my answer," Jean-Pierre added.

The former press secretary was asked about the debate and everything else people saw.

"What I’m saying to you is the debate for me was one time. I had never seen him like that before," she said.

IMO, it is clear that her stubborn defense of Biden is to defend herself, her own stupidity, her low IQ, her extremely poor decisions at the numerous press briefings. She is an idiot in the pure sense, her so called intelligence equal to a college freshman.

What I don't get is how her publisher didn't hire someone to train her on how to not sound like a total idiot on her book tour. Of course, she didn't write a single page of her book. The publisher hired a ghost writer for her. I doubt she's even read the book. But why wouldn't the publisher at least get her the Cliff Notes version and some bare bones coaching on how to handle interviews on the book tour? I can't blame her for that one.

^^^^ You can train an idiot all you want, but if the idiot refuses to learn, whose fault is that?

I always figured she would land a Democratic Party gig due to her loyalty. But she must have gotten burned and went scorched earth. Now the deep state folks have called in their media frontmen to end her. It is glorious to watch. I love how these guys lead with, hey even we knew he was in decline. Like they didn't hide it for years. All lies/

It is worth reading the entire interview in the New Yorker.

Highly entertaining.

She's a black lesbian immigrant.

Seriously, those were her qualifications.

Well lets have a look at her qualifications…
Black - check
Queer - check
Woman - check
The box checkers certainly filled all the “right” boxes. They just forgot to add, “Able to form coherent sentences.”

Much like Jumanji Jackson for the Supremes.
Black, woman, total raving liberal loon. AGAIN they forgot to add “Able to form coherent sentences.”

These two dipsticks were the pick of the litter! (The litter was raccoons in a dumpster)

A statement like that is deeply slanderous toward college freshmen. I have met many who were very intelligent. They may have lacked common sense due to lack of experience, but they were intelligent and capable of learning. With time they would get better.

She is just a pure, drooling moron. No time time, training, or experience will help her. She’ll always be a blithering idiot.

I think it was a pay check. She knew Biden was in exponential decline but stayed loyal for the pay check and subsequent opportunities. She defends him now in self defense to preserve those opportunities or to save face at a minimum. She lied to the nation every day for money and is still doing it. She’s not as dumb as she is corrupt.

Most importantly, KJP seems to think a lot of herself and, as George Costanza says, it's not a lie if you believe it.

Same ol' KJP. How is that any different than when she was Biden's Press Secretary?

KJP is the posterchild for being an unqualified DEI hire. Actually, she is a triple DEI (i.e. woman, black, and lesbian) and the Biden administration was obsessed with hiring firsts (e.g. first openly lesbian press secretary) instead of hiring most qualified person. I thought Jan Psaki had set the White House press secretary bar impossibly low, but KJP managed to limbo right under that bar.

Additionally, she suffers from the illusion/delusion of competence. In other words, she believes she has learned something (e.g. being an effective public communicator), but she clearly has not. I do not believe it's the Dunning Kruger effect either as she does not possess the capability to master it.

Four...born in Martinique to Haitian-parents.

Irregardless, you nailed it, her qualifications had nothing to do with her ability to do her job. As the months went by and she continued to dig her own grave of incompetence, the White House increasingly had to rely on Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby to engage with the press, ultimately moving him out of Arlington and creating a position called White House National Security Communications Advisor.

This lowlife, and others in FJB administration, must have taken lessons from George Costanza. “It’s not a lie…if you believe it”.

So delicious
