“Kinda Dumb…Incoherent”: Biden Staffers Turn on Karine Jean-Pierre

Karine Jean-Pierre's Announcement and Book:

Karine Jean-Pierre announced on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, that she has left the Democratic Party.

She is promoting a new book titled “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” set for release on October 21, 2025.

Tim Wu's Criticism:

Biden National Economic Council technology and competition policy advisor Tim Wu posted on X on Thursday, June 5, 2025, at 7:42 a.m. EDT, criticizing Karine Jean-Pierre.

Wu described Jean-Pierre as “kinda dumb” and “incoherent.”

He stated, “From WH policy staff perspective, the real problem with Karine Jean-Pierre was that she was kinda dumb. No interest in understanding harder topics. Just gave random incoherent answers on policy.”

Wu deleted this post later on Thursday morning, June 5, 2025.

Jeremy Edwards' Reaction:

Jeremy Edwards, who worked for Jean-Pierre as an assistant White House press secretary, posted “lol” on X on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, in response to her announcement.

Axios Reporter Alex Thompson's Reporting:

Alex Thompson, an Axios reporter, reported on Thursday, June 5, 2025, about anonymous Biden officials criticizing Jean-Pierre.

One anonymous colleague called her “one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with.”

Another anonymous source stated, “The amount of time that was spent coddling her…was astronomical compared to our attn on actual matters of substance.”

Thompson reported that many Biden aides quietly fumed for years, believing Jean-Pierre was incompetent at her job at the White House podium and more interested in promoting herself than Joe Biden.

Biden aides largely stayed silent because Jean-Pierre was seen as untouchable due to her close relationship with FLOTUS aide Anthony Bernal.

Jean-Pierre reportedly caused internal drama by repeatedly blocking National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby from joining her at the White House podium, even when national security issues were prominent in the news.

Townhall's Reporting:

Townhall reported that Karine Jean-Pierre is being “TRASHED” by former colleagues after her announcement of leaving partisan politics and going “independent.”

One person who worked with Jean-Pierre allegedly said she “was one of the most ineffectual and unprepared people I’ve ever worked with.”

The same source claimed she “had meltdowns after any interview.”

They further stated, “She didn’t know how to manage a team…created more problems than she solved.”

Others commented that her book release is seen as “nothing more than a bizarre cash grab.”

It was claimed that colleagues spent more time “coddling and appeasing her” than doing actual work in the White House communications shop.

Townhall stated that Jean-Pierre “just lost ALL of her friends & allies — if she had any in the first place.”

One former White House adviser allegedly called her “dumb.”

Jesse Watters' Report on Fox News:

Jesse Watters reported on Fox News on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, that Karine Jean-Pierre was rejected by The View.
