The White House is in total chaos and upheaval.
Democrats are at war with one another.
And it all came to a head as a coup attempt took place.
The lack of leadership at the White House – where Joe Biden has proven unfit to run the executive branch – is coming back to bite Democrats bigtime.
They are at each other’s throats. Chaos and distrust are running rampant. People are making moves to increase their own power in this anarchic environment, knowing that no one’s going to stop them.
And it all came to a head as Democratic staffers attempted a coup against press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
They tried to force her out and it almost worked.
Now the details about this shocking powerplay are coming out to the public.
Biden’s allies are closing ranks around him, but some sources are whispering to the media about how bad things have gotten.
According to a New York Post article entitled “Inside the failed White House coup to oust Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre,” here is what happened:
“Top aides to President Biden secretly hatched a plan this past fall to replace White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre by recruiting outside allies to nudge her out the door, The Post has learned.”
“Jean-Pierre, who made history in May 2022 by becoming the first black and first openly gay person to hold the position, had developed the exasperating habit of reading canned answers directly from a binder to reporters at her regular briefings — offering what her superiors viewed as a less-than-compelling pitch for the 81-year-old Biden as he readied his re-election campaign.”
These faults have begun causing major issues for Biden, and people around him began to whisper that it was time for someone to replace Jean-Pierre.
“De facto White House communications chief Anita Dunn, 66, the wife of Biden personal attorney Bob Bauer, told colleagues she had decided to call in prominent Democrats to explain to Jean-Pierre, 49, that the time was ripe to move on, sources told The Post,” the article continues.
“The source also told The Post that Dunn had claimed White House chief of staff Jeff Zients knew about and supported the cloak-and-dagger scheme to push Jean-Pierre out of the West Wing.”
This is a humiliating situation for Biden.
He has to be concerned about the highly questionable job Jean-Pierre has done defending him.
And it shows he’s incapable of keeping a lid on the infighting happening at the White House under his watch.
Joe Biden’s aides launched a coup to get rid of press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and now the spicy details are reaching the public.
