In reply to the discussion: Former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre leaves Democratic Party [View all]markodochartaigh
(3,411 posts)60. "...maybe
she is referring to Dems who are talking about avoiding trans and lgbtq issues which could be a driving factor."
I have no idea whether this is true, but it would certainly be in line with the incredibly unbelievable amount of irony which seems commonplace today, considering that when Biden was vice president he took the unprecedented action of coming out for marriage equality before his president or his party was ready. Not that the average US voter, even average US lgbtq voter, remembers that valiant defense of our rights.

Psaki was featured on the new every night. Once she left there was almost no wide coverage of those briefings anymore.

Yeah, how do people get she is a "turncoat" when it literally says the book is about the party betraying Biden?
