Karine Jean-Pierre is on the comeback train, or at least that's her plan. The former White House press secretary has been largely maringalized over the last year, owing to her unrepentant participation in the cover-up of Joe Biden's deep mental and physical decline in office. Still, she likely expected a warm welcome after writing a tell-all book, typically an easy cash-grab for former members of a Democrat administration. Instead, she's getting the cold shoulder from an unexpected source: The left-wing press.
Speaking to Obama bestie Gayle King on CBS News, Jean-Pierre was pressed on the claim that she didn't see Biden declining over his distraous four-year term.

"How?"

You know who else is "always engaged?" Your 90-year-old grandmother at the nursing home. That doesn't mean they are capable of serving as president. The way Jean-Pierre and other defenders talk about Biden is just hilarious, as if being barely sentient was the baseline. We are talking about the most strenous job in the world, at least mentally speaking. The requirement isn't for a president to not be drooling on himself. It's to be alert on a level over and above the average person, and Biden certainly never met that standard.
And to be sure, I'm being kind. There were times when Biden didn't even meet the no drooling standard. He appeared to fall asleep during multiple meetings over the years, and there were many times when he seemed completely out of it. That's not even considering all the times he was awake but ended up having a complete mind melt, forgetting names, mislabeling countries, and slurring his words like he just got off an all-night bender.
Speaking to Tim Miller of The Bulwark, another left-wing outlet, Jean-Pierre got very defensive when she was told that Biden took far less questions from the press compared to current President Donald Trump.
MILLER: “Biden talked way less to the press than Donald Trump does.”

To be clear, Biden speaking "to the American people a couple times a week" amounted to him mumbling a one-liner to the press pool as he hobbled to Marine One in his pediatric tennis shoes. There would be weeks-long stretches where he wouldn't take a single real question from reporters, and official press conferences were exceedingly rare. When then did happen, they were often incredibly short, with Biden calling on a list of pre-selected reporters and sometimes even having the questions given to him on a cheat sheet.
Of course, no one should confuse any of this combative questioning of Jean-Pierre from the Democrat-loving press as actual journalism. They simply see the former press secretary as complicit in a 2024 election loss they felt could have been different had Biden dropped out sooner. King and the rest truly believe that had Kamala Harris gotten a full cycle at the top of the ticket, she'd have prevailed. That's, of course, laughable given she only got more unpopular the more she was on the campaign trail, but it's a delusion they'll continue to entertain, perhaps until she's renominated in 2028. To that I say, go right ahead.
