Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy took aim at former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre during a segment this week, poking fun at the premise of her newly announced memoir: Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.
Jean-Pierre, who served under Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, has stirred controversy with claims that she distanced herself from the Democratic Party and plans to expose internal dysfunction and betrayal that she says led to President Biden dropping his reelection bid.
Doocy, known for his sharp questions in White House briefings, chuckled at the timing and title of the book during a live hit:
“So let me get this straight—Karine Jean-Pierre, the same press secretary who spent years defending this administration’s talking points, now wants to school the country on misinformation? That’s rich.”
The book, set to be published by Hachette, promises behind-the-scenes accounts of “the three weeks that led to Biden abandoning his bid for a second term” and what Jean-Pierre characterizes as a “betrayal by the Democratic Party.”
“Misinformation” Memoir Draws Ire from All Sides
According to RedState, Jean-Pierre also touches on the role misinformation has played in recent elections, claiming it’s time for Americans to dismantle the “torrent of disinformation.” Her pivot from administration loyalist to independent critic has left both Democratic allies and Republican opponents raising eyebrows.
“After years of brushing off questions and refusing to give straight answers, now she wants to be the truth-teller?” Doocy remarked. “Washington does have a sense of humor after all.”
Fallout and Reactions
While no excerpts have been officially released, sources say Jean-Pierre will offer critical insights into White House operations, party infighting, and the media’s complicity in shaping public narratives.
Political commentators note that the book could signal a broader fracture within the Democratic ranks as the party continues to struggle with leadership direction heading into 2026.
Jean-Pierre has yet to publicly respond to Doocy’s comments, but the early backlash signals a rocky rollout for what was likely intended to be a legacy-shaping release.
Stay tuned as this story develops—and as the 2024 election fallout continues to reshape the media and political landscape.
