In reply to the discussion: Karine Jean-Pierre leaving the Democratic Party because of how they treated Biden [View all]crimycarny
(2,023 posts)I watched the entire interview, and one thing I took away from it is the respect and admiration that Karine Jean-Pierre has for President Joe Biden.
At around 33:00 she says that the only person she would have considered coming back to the White House for was Joe Biden. She had known him since 2009 and saw how he believed in this country, she observed how he engaged with the public and truly listened. She said, "I don't think I would have come back for anyone else but Joe Biden."
Later in the interview (around 40:45) she talks about how tough it was when Donald Trump won in 2024, but that Joe Biden was adamant that there be a peaceful transfer of power and adamant that this was the message to be relayed.
She also talked about how Joe Biden believed strongly in bringing back the Freedom of the Press when he won in 2020. (The Press sure rewarded him for that, not).
At about the 61:00, an audience member asks her about Joe Biden's decline, and she had a wonderful answer. Worth a watch.
Throughout the entire interview, she has nothing but praise for Joe Biden.
