The Biden administration is wrapping up its term with a flurry of self-congratulatory antics that are more theatrical than substantive. With the clock ticking down to their exit, the current administration seems hell-bent on promoting their purported achievements while simultaneously sabotaging the incoming Trump administration. Their final act appears to be a slapstick routine aimed squarely at the American public, showcasing everything they got wrong.
One would think that if the Biden administration were truly proud of its accomplishments, they’d be celebrating at town halls, not gearing up for unemployment. The astonishing disconnect between their public relations efforts and the reality on the ground speaks volumes about their approach to governance. If they’re so confident in their performance, why the mad scramble to rewrite history before they pack their bags?
In the latest bizarre episode, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre took to social media for a grandiose victory lap. It’s almost comical—one has to wonder how many spin doctors it takes to mislead and confuse the public. The drama ignited a flurry of incredulity, questioning whether they spend their days crafting new ways to convince Americans that they’ve seen reality incorrectly. The portrayal of President Biden as “sharp as a tack” is a stretch even for the most dedicated of spinmeisters.
Jean-Pierre’s press briefings have become an exercise in exasperation, not just for the reporters but for the broader American audience watching her talk down to the press like they’re her subordinates. Some have observed that rather than engaging with critical topics, she defaults to phrases like “I don’t have a readout on that here,” leaving important questions hanging while she storms out of the room, treating the press as mere inconveniences rather than allies in the information battle.

Her record of misinformation rivals her demeanor, with some of her most glaring omissions revolving around President Biden’s mental acuity and the inevitability of a pardon for his son Hunter. Despite the clear public narrative that suggests otherwise, Jean-Pierre insisted that the president would not extend clemency to his son—until, inevitably, the pardon came to fruition. This kind of gaslighting reflects a broader pattern of deceit and failure that the administration has embraced.
As Inauguration Day looms ever closer, it’s hard not to see Jean-Pierre’s tenure as a countdown to the end of an era marked by dishonesty. The administration appears to be leaving a legacy used to inadvertently fuel the fire that much of the country is fed up with. Just like her commander-in-chief, Jean-Pierre’s departure signifies a fitting conclusion to a dismal narrative best suited for a comedy sketch on cable news networks—perfect for their ideological echo chambers.
