Report: Newly Promoted Jean-Pierre Blocks John Kirby from White House Podium

Wendell Husebø 14 Oct 2024

Newly promoted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who also now serves as a senior adviser to President Joe Biden, prevents national security spokesperson John Kirby from joining her at the podium at White House press briefings, people familiar with the matter told Axios.

Infighting and “tension” reportedly exist between Jean-Pierre and Kirby about how much time each is allotted to provide the establishment media with canned public relations remarks during press briefings, Axios previously reported. Kirby is reportedly a “Biden favorite” with experience in foreign policy.
Axios reported Monday on Jean-Pierre’s attempt to prevent Kirby from speaking to the press:

        Having both of them at the podium was what Biden wanted, but Jean-Pierre thought that Kirby’s presence gave the impression she needed a chaperone, people familiar with her thinking told Axios.

        One person familiar with the dynamic said: “The president made the call to have Kirby regularly brief — and it’s the president’s briefing room, not anyone else’s.”

For someone who has reached the pinnacle of her field, the fact that she doesn't recognize the widely understood body language "excessive blinking= lying" dynamic just shows how inept this bunch is.
