The White House announced that Karine Jean-Pierre will become the first Black person and openly gay person to be the White House press secretary when Jen Psaki leaves the position in a couple weeks, the Washington Post reports.
Psaki restored much of the dignity to the press room that was denigrated by the previous administration’s carnival of spokespeople, from a former Easter Bunny/hedge resident/future guest on the misnamed Dancing With the Stars who routinely lied to the press; to the daughter of a failed presidential candidate who routinely lied to the press; to a woman who could not answer a question if it wasn’t written out in her binder, and who routinely lied to the press.
During the Biden campaign, Jean-Pierre was the press secretary for Vice President Kamala Harris. She joined the White House as Psaki’s deputy, and she’ll take on the duties to publicly humiliate Peter Doocy in daily briefings.
