CBS Host Baffled As Biden Press Sec Insists She Saw Nothing Wrong With Her Boss: ‘How?!’

Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shocked the hosts of “CBS Mornings” when she insisted that even working alongside then-President Joe Biden on a daily basis, she did not see any real signs that he was in trouble until his disastrous CNN debate with President Donald Trump.

Jean-Pierre joined Monday morning’s broadcast ahead of the release of her memoir, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines” — and cohosts Tony Dokoupil and Gayle King pressed her on that issue in particular.

WATCH:

“So when this book landed on my desk, and I saw ‘a Broken White House’ in the subtitle, I have to say, I thought you were going to say, that try as you might to convince Joe Biden to drop out of the race — ’cause what we were seeing is what you were seeing, and he was struggling and couldn’t do it — I thought you were going to say you were angry at that,” cohost Tony Dokoupil began the conversation. “But mostly, what you said in this book, is you were angry at the people who tried to push him out. Some Americans are going to say: ‘Seriously!?’”

“But not just the party that pushed him out,” Jean-Pierre brushed past the criticism and charged ahead. “The party as it’s behaving today in this moment when we need a Democratic Party to be fighting, to be an opposition party, and that’s really what ignited the book.”

“Right after the administration, I was just minding my business, right? No longer public servant, going to the grocery store, going to my kids’ school. People would come up to me, and strangers, and they would say, ‘What’s going on with the Democratic Party? Why aren’t they fighting? We knew what was going to happen after this election. Why are they not prepared?’ The stakes were really high,” she continued. “So it’s connected also to the moment that we are in. I’m telling a story obviously, my story, and how I started thinking about the Democratic Party and my involvement in it. And then fast forward to today, the disappointment, the disillusionment, that millions of people have —”

King cut in then, trying to redirect the conversation: “But I want to pick up on what Tony was saying. Because I, too, thought that. And you said people said why didn’t members of his inner circle speak up about what many believe was the apparent decline of Joe Biden. And you said you are a member of the inner circle, and you never saw the decline. And after that, I wrote: ‘How!?’”

King could not hide her disbelief as she added, “You even write, Karine, that you were on the plane with him going to the debate, and you didn’t see anything. It’s so hard to understand!”

“Well, when we were on Air Force One going to the debate, you gotta remember, his campaign people were on the team, his family was on the team. [It] was one of those rare trips where I didn’t really see him until after the debate even though I was on the plane,” Jean-Pierre said. “So really I take — I want everyone to know that I take this question incredibly seriously. I do.”

“I was his White House press secretary, which means I had a role that saw him practically every day, and traveled with him for more than 95%,” she continued. “We’ve always said, we’re not going to say, ‘Oh, he didn’t age.’ He aged. He poked fun at it. We always owned up. And with age comes what happens when you get older. But when we talk about the mental acuity, and again, I take this very, very seriously, I never saw anyone who wasn’t there. I saw someone who was always engaged. I saw someone who understood policy, pushed us on the policy, and also understood history.”

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
