Megyn Kelly had fun making fun of Karine Jean-Pierre’s “historically terrible” book. “We knew she was gone, but did we know she was this far gone?” Megyn Kelly asked.

MEGYN KELLY (Host): Not content to just let Kamala look like the dumbest one in the administration – writes her own book, or someone wrote her book. And, you know, we’ve been talking on the show about how literally at every promotional appearance she makes, what is she telling people? I’m Black! I am Black! And queer. Queer, too – don’t forget my queerness! … Jean-Pierre described her feelings after Trump won re-election, saying she wasn’t surprised at all because America was too racist and sexist to elect Kamala Harris. Finally – these are quotes: About 1:00 a.m. I tumbled into bed. When I woke up, it was over. Harris had lost. I received calls from friends who were distraught or numb with disbelief. But I wasn’t surprised by the outcome. The truth was I never really believed Harris could win. Well, I mean, none of us did – but she had different reasons. But I wasn’t surprised. I never believed she could win. I’d been in the body of a Black woman all my life… I stood at the podium in the White House briefing room, traveled in my chocolate skin through rural areas, and all my experiences of blistering stares and racist assumptions left me unable to see this country electing a president who looked like me.” “Black women are tired. We’re tired of being used and overlooked and taken for granted – that we will take on the extra tasks at work without pay, assume the lion’s share of labor in our communities without fanfare, and do it all without complaint. Indeed, we are leaders in our cities and households – matriarchs who fight for rights and policies that benefit the whole of society. In 2024, the nation could have finally begun to repay what it owes us and benefited itself by giving the top leadership role to Harris, who could bring the talents embodied by so many Black women to the nation’s highest office. … She didn’t get the memo, right? The fever broke with Trump’s re-election, and she didn’t get the memo that we’re done doing that. Like, we are done obsessing over skin color – whether we’re Black, or white, or brown, whatever. People – we’re done. We’re done. The fever’s broken. That stuff’s not going to work anymore. But it seems to be what she’s saying is the reason she left the Democrat Party. She’s mad, allegedly, that they were too mean to Joe Biden, but she also – the whole book is full of grievance about how the Democrats aren’t good to Black women. So she’s leaving, but she doesn’t recommend voting for any party other than Democrats. She’s going to stand outside as an independent just to shame them for how they treat Black women, but still totally vote Democrat – which sounds exactly at the intellect level that I would expect from Karine Jean-Pierre as a strategy.
