In the final weeks of any presidential administration, the assessments of their time in office - and their political legacy - pick up apace, with everyone wanting to give their opinions on where they went wrong and where they went right, how they stack up against past presidents, etc.

That has certainly been true not just for Joe Biden, but for members of his administrative team as well including Cabinet members like impeached Dept. of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who conservatives believe should not be remembered fondly due to his repeated failures to secure the southern border, as well as his obscene gaslighting when called to testify on the issue by Congress.

Another who is having their tenure analyzed and dissected is press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who, as we previously reported, went out on a bad note Wednesday and aggravated people on both sides of the aisle by blocking White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby from being able to attend the briefing. 

His role would have been to provide the important details behind the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, news of which broke that same day. But Jean-Pierre - who is not a fan of Kirby's - apparently wanted to keep the focus on her "goodbye party," leaving reporters to wait another hour or so before being briefed on the developing situation.

As it turns out, Jean-Pierre's last actions as press secretary were the final straw for some Biden insiders as well as some members of the White House press corps, who gave brutal assessments of how she did her job:

“Not allowing actual news to be delivered from the podium on such an important day for the president and the world for your own ego is disgraceful,” a longtime Biden aide told The Post of Jean-Pierre’s antics.

“I am not sure there is someone that did more damage to the president’s reputation than her — it is really sad.”

A second outraged reporter who attended Wednesday’s briefing said it was “totally unsurprising behavior from someone who was either incapable of recognizing her own shortcomings or unwilling or unable to put in the work required to overcome them.”

I remember just a few weeks after Jen Psaki's exit watching the press briefings and wishing - almost - that Psaki was back. Because even though Psaki was dishonest just like so many in Biden's administration, at least she came to the briefings prepared and sounding like she knew what she was talking about.

Jean-Pierre never gave off that vibe, and it led to some pretty embarrassing moments for her, with her making excuses for Joe Biden that were so ridiculous that it was absolutely not worth the $180,000 salary she reportedly made.

By default, White House press secretaries are the faces of the people who occupy the Oval Office, and considering Joe Biden's state of mind, which undoubtedly was known by the higher-ups in his administration, it was important for them to have someone at the podium who could provide the clear and concise updates he wasn't giving.

Instead, it ended up being a glorified romper room under Jean-Pierre's leadership, which was a disservice to the American people, who deserved to know what was going on but who instead continually had their intelligence insulted.

In any event, I'm looking forward to seeing what Karoline Leavitt brings to the table as President-Elect Donald Trump's press secretary. I suspect she will be making White House press briefings great again, which will be a refreshing change from the past four years.
