(Modernity) Joe Biden is apparently incapable of firing his own Press Secretary, according to sources inside the White House who say that Karine Jean Pierre was told to resign but refuses to do so.
A report in the New York Post over the weekend stated that Biden’s top aides tried to “nudge” the woeful Press Secretary out of the door, telling her it was “time to move on.”

They even recruited people close to Jean Pierre last year to convince her that it would benefit her career to quit.
Another source noted that Biden’s aides were “trying to find Karine a graceful exit,” and that sacking her would be bad optics because she is essentially a DEI hire.
“There’s a huge diversity issue and they’re afraid of what folks are going to say,” the source asserted.
Jean Pierre won’t leave and “has decided to stay come hell or high water and that’s that,” the source added.
In addition, Fox News anchor Steve Doocy revealed that a “high-ranking” White House source confirmed the story to him, noting that they “told me that the story was absolutely true. They would like her to step aside, but she just won’t go.”
