As the Biden presidency nears its conclusion, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre will soon vacate her role, and a panel of media commentators shared their thoughts with the Daily Caller on what her next move might be.
The consensus suggested that despite widespread criticism of her performance in the role, Jean-Pierre is likely to secure a position as a contributor on a cable news network, following a similar path to her predecessor, Jen Psaki, who landed at far-left MSNBC.
She’ll go where all the other failed Hollywood actors go when they’re useless to the deep state: a cable chat show that exclusively exists to sell weird books and products to lonely women,” Daily Caller alum and media veteran Kay Hill told the outlet.
NewsBusters Managing Editor Curtis Houck agreed with that assessment. “I fully anticipate someone will hire her as a contributor, whether it be a return to MSNBC or even CNN,” he said.
Psaki, who served during Barack Obama’s presidency, left the Biden White House in 2022 to host her show “Inside with Jen Psaki” on MSNBC.
KJP’s history of dishonesty and incompetence should disqualify her from any future cable news pundit roles, Houck stated.
In a merit-based world, Karine Jean-Pierre would be unemployable in TV news,” he told the Caller. “It’s still remarkable to me that she spent years as an established cable news pundit and sitting for lengthy segments where guests would have to think on their feet and go beyond talking points.”
Others, however, told the Daily Caller that her inability to tell the truth makes her a perfect far-left host candidate.
“KJP was so dumb, so dishonest, and so bad at her job that I can only assume she’ll have a show on CBS News next year,” Mollie Hemingway, a best-selling author and editor-in-chief of The Federalist, said.
correspondent for UnHerd and co-host of Breaking Points, told the Daily Caller.
Jashinsky noted that Jean-Pierre might have less leverage than previous press secretaries due to the challenges and perceived shortcomings of the Biden presidency during her tenure.
