June 4 (Reuters) - Karine Jean-Pierre, who was former President Joe Biden’s press secretary at the White House from 2022 until 2025, has left the Democratic Party and is now an independent, according to the publisher of her forthcoming book.
“We need to be clear-eyed and questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past,” she was quoted as saying by Legacy Lit, part of the Hachette Book Group, that will release her book ‘Independent’ in October.
Whoop de doo. Another person hocking a book.
hawking*, unless they’re chucking it at you.
Gracias.
I strongly suspect that every political book for the last 20 years has been a money laundering scheme. Otherwise I can’t fathom who the hell is buying these.
My in-laws have several books by Republicans, including Pence
Religious nut jobs, in my experience.
My dad had one of those books. A book by Ben Shapiro. Didn’t read it. Doesn’t know where he got. I suspect an aipac convention. Well, he’s dead now, and all I ever got from him was, “we don’t burn books here” (to me, very upset after finding the book displayed on a guest bedroom bookshelf). My mom tells me he most likely placed these books around haphazardly. So, this explains at least one copy of one of those books.
They print and sell them to themselves to inflate their numbers, then give them away everywhere.
republicans do. People who actually know how government works often have interesting things to say.
I wouldn’t say Republicans, in general. Policy wonks, yes, know thyself, know thine enemy.
I think the OP was referring to actual books.
heh heh.
No, it’s just a cash grab. Person “writes” book (i.e. someone ghostwrites it and they put their name on the cover), then sells a bunch based on recent name recognition.
You have to do something after spending years lying on the white house podium. There’s only so many MSNBC jobs to go around.
