Biden Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appeared on ABC’s “The View” Tuesday morning, attempting to put a good face on the unraveling Biden administration.
After not holding a press briefing in over eight days, Jean-Pierre tried to clean up the messy Democrat coup forcing her boss off the presidential ticket, claiming instead that it was his decision to exit the race.
“What we saw from this president in the last couple of days was human decency, a good man, someone who decided not to put himself first – like we’ve seen before – but to put the American people first and this country first,” Jean-Pierre claimed, pretending Biden hadn’t refused to step down over the past few months.

Despite Trump narrowly surviving a recent assassination attempt, “View” co-host Joy Behar went on to refer to the former president as “Dear Leader,” a comparison to German dictator Adolf Hitler or North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il, to which Jean-Pierre chuckled.
The White House press sec went on to address concerns from Republicans like Trump VP pick JD Vance, who during a rally on Monday pointed out if Biden isn’t “fit to run, he is not fit to serve.”

“I think that’s ridiculous, seriously,” the press sec claimed, without offering further explanation.
“The president decided to not run for reelection. That’s it. That’s all he decided on. He wants to continue to do the work.”
“It shows how important his leadership is,” she added. “We have so much more work to do and he understands that.”
The press secretary’s comments come as Democrats descended on Biden after an abysmal debate performance last month and following a positive Covid test last week, rejecting the will of primary voters and pushing him off the ballot in favor of someone they hope will be more mentally competent to take on Trump.
For the time being, that person is ostensibly Kamala Harris; however, Democrat voters won’t truly know who their nominee is until delegates vote at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 22.
