Charlamagne Tha God Questions KPJ's Credibility

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God Thursday expressed skepticism about former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s credibility while discussing her upcoming book on his show. Jean-Pierre, who announced on Wednesday that she is registering as an independent, is set to release Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, detailing her experience in the Biden administration.

Jean-Pierre, a longtime Democratic operative, stated, “Until January 20, I spoke for the President of the United States. At noon that day, I became a private citizen, like all Americans, grappling with our country’s future. The dangers we face require us to break free from partisan boxes and think creatively.”

Charlamagne, known for critiquing both political parties, praised her independent stance, saying, “I respect her going independent. If you’re Black in this country, you shouldn’t be loyal to any party. Vote for your interests, for politicians pushing policies that benefit your community.” He added, “Neither party has done enough for us to claim ‘Republican’ or ‘Democrat,’ so independent is the way to go.” However, he tempered his enthusiasm by questioning Jean-Pierre’s credibility, though he expressed willingness to read her book.
