New White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is known for her understated approach to the podium compared to her predecessor. Her press briefings and gaggles don’t make much news. A question-and-answer session aboard Air Force One last week barely registered on social media.
“Stolen emails, stolen drone, stolen election …..welcome to the world of #unpresidented Trump,” she tweeted after Donald Trump won in 2016. Jean-Pierre later called Trump a “petulant dotard” and “a deplorable illegitimate president.” The same year she worked on Biden’s winning presidential campaign, Jean-Pierre reaffirmed her view that the 2018 contest for governor of Georgia was illegitimate. “Reminder: Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams,” she wrote at the time.
Psaki’s popularity was boosted by viral verbal jousting matches with Fox News, especially White House correspondent Peter Doocy. The sometimes heated but often jocular sparring detonated many of her beloved “Psaki bombs” and was mutually beneficial. “You've always been a good sport,” Doocy told her the day it was announced she was leaving. “Thank you,” Psaki replied. “As have you.”
“Jen will be a tough act to follow,” Republican strategist Bradley Blakeman said. “Karine initially will have to answer literally for her past comments, especially when they are at odds with the positions she must advance for the president and the administration from the White House podium.”
