Karine Jean-Pierre condemned for calling the White House communications team ‘the best’
Conservative social media users lashed out at the White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre this week for sharing a picture of the White House communications team, calling it “the best team in the business.”
Critics of Biden on Xu strongly condemned the post, disputing the claim and accusing the press secretary of lying on President Biden’s behalf during his tenure.
“It takes an army to come up with non-answers and lies,” conservative columnist Tim Young commented on Jean-Pierre’s post.

The outgoing press secretary shared a photo on her X account on Friday, showing her and about a dozen of her staff smiling as they stand next to President Biden.
She captioned the photo, stating, “To the best team in the business. Couldn’t do it without you. Let’s walk through the lane! #thewestwing #POTUS #WhiteHouse.”
The photo went viral and sparked the heat of many critics who vented their frustration about Jean-Pierre’s time as press secretary.
Washington Times columnist Tim Murtaugh slammed Jean-Pierre and company, writing, “This ‘best team in the business’ lied to the world about the president’s mental and physical fitness and, ultimately, failed. Their work led to Trump’s landslide victory, which was a total rejection of everything they’ve done in the most important jobs they’ll ever have.”
“Good job,” he added.
Free Press columnist Eli Lake asked: “In what business is this the best team?”
Conservative radio host Michael Berry attacked Jean-Pierre and her team, posting: “Dumb and dumber. And dumber. And even dumber. And even dumber. And shockingly dumber than that. And…”
Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross noted, “They’re basically all the worst in the business which means they’re going to make over $300,000 in that city within a few months.”

Fox News columnist David Marcus accused White House communications teams of lying about Biden’s health and other major problems during his presidency. “So these are the people who helped lie to the American people about Biden’s mental capacity and plans to pardon his son. I get it. I would have put a bag over my head, I was one of them,” he said.
RedState.com writer Bonchie stated, “I keep waiting for her to show some semblance of shame, but she just doesn’t have it in her.”
The Federalist’s editor-in-chief, Mollie Hemingway, raved about the team, declaring, “There’s no easier job in space than being a Democrat’s press secretary. And yet, somehow, you failed.”

Jean-Pierre’s last year on the job was marked by even more embarrassing clarifications and defenses of Biden’s mandate.
Moments to remember included her fueling a feud with CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe after she refused to answer his inquiry about a Walter Reed Army Medical Center neurologist visiting Biden at the White House several times that year; saying that questioning Biden’s inflammatory rhetoric about then-candidate Donald Trump after he was nearly killed twice was in itself “incredibly dangerous”; and dismissing videos of Biden looking frail as “cheap fakes.”
