Well, well, well — look who’s suddenly discovered the virtues of political independence. Karine Jean-Pierre, former mouthpiece for the Biden White House and proud card-carrying member of the progressive elite, is now donning the cloak of an “Independent.” Not because she had a grand philosophical awakening or a sudden appreciation for the Constitution, mind you, but because — wait for it — the Democratic Party betrayed her and ol’ Joe. That’s right, betrayal! Just imagine the drama.
Apparently, after years of serving under two Democratic presidents, parroting party lines, spinning media narratives, and rolling her eyes at any conservative who dared ask a tough question, Jean-Pierre has decided she’s above it all. The same person who couldn’t bring herself to answer whether the President of the United States was mentally fit for office now wants to lead a national conversation about nonpartisan courage and breaking free of “boxes.” You really can’t make this stuff up.
Elites scrambling to get on the right side of history now that it’s safe and changes nothing to tell the truth. History will not remember kindly those who covered up Biden’s decline and lied to enable a genocide. https://t.co/I7oeCqqgLs

Her new book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, is set to drop just in time for the fall political drama season — October 21 — conveniently placed after the 2024 election when Democrats are licking their wounds and searching for scapegoats. Coincidence? Not likely. This is as much a strategic PR move as it is a cash grab. And judging by the publisher’s breathless announcement, we’re in for a tell-all soaked in victimhood, finger-pointing, and vague calls to “rethink partisanship” from someone who made her living repeating talking points.
Let’s be honest here: this isn’t about political evolution. It’s about saving face. Jean-Pierre saw which way the wind was blowing after Biden’s spectacular flameout and decided to jump ship before it sank completely. Her sudden disdain for the Democratic machine didn’t surface when they were handing her the press room podium and late-night TV praise — no, it kicked in after the Democratic Party shoved Joe Biden offstage, forced to reckon with the reality that America didn’t want another four years of ice cream photo ops and word salads.
In her Instagram video, Jean-Pierre implores Americans to “stand side by side” with her, regardless of political identity, as long as you respect her and “vulnerable communities.” Ah yes, the classic progressive caveat: agree with me, or you’re out. This isn’t some unifying olive branch — it’s conditional tolerance dressed up as centrism. She doesn’t want ideological diversity, she wants ideological submission with a friendlier label.
And let’s not forget, this is the same woman who stood behind the podium while the White House dismissed skyrocketing inflation as “transitory,” painted border chaos as “seasonal,” and waved off concerns about Biden’s cognitive health with the grace of a dismissive TikTok influencer. Now she wants to tell us how broken the system is? You were the system, Karine.
The left flipped out:
The fact that Karine Jean-Pierre would leave the Democratic Party during a constitutional crisis is hard to comprehend.
The fact that Karine Jean-Pierre would leave the Democratic Party during a constitutional crisis and sell a book about it is disgusting.

Karine Jean-Pierre the way DEMOCRATS defended you when republicans called you every slur in the dictionary (and then some) you got some nerve. Disappointment doesn’t even begin to describe it.

it’s sad that Biden stuck with Karine Jean-Pierre for all those years despite the fact she was not that great at her job, only for her to turn around and write a book about why she left the Democratic Party and is now an independent.

If this is what counts as an “Independent” these days — a disillusioned party loyalist trying to rebrand after her team lost — then the word has lost all meaning. She’s not forging a new path. She’s trying to dodge accountability while maintaining just enough influence to keep her media career alive.
Let’s be real: when Republicans talk about independence, we mean personal liberty, limited government, and the right to speak freely without checking which alphabet soup coalition is offended. When Jean-Pierre talks about independence, she means distancing herself from the party that stopped returning her calls. One is a principle. The other is a pivot.
So here’s some advice for voters: don’t be fooled by this self-serving reinvention tour. Karine Jean-Pierre may have traded blue for beige, but the agenda — and the elitism — are still the same.
