Former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre discussed her tenure in the Biden administration at an event hosted by the Institute of Politics at the Harvard Kennedy School. Topics included the day-to-day operations of the job, the importance of holding the White House accountable, and freedom of the press. When discussing the moment Democrats asked President Biden to step down from office, she reiterated the characterization that it was a "firing squad" around a person who she believed was a true patriot - stating that she had never seen anything like it. She also shared that she had not watched the news since she left the White House so that she could focus on self-care and her family.
