Karine Jean-Pierre Alleges Racism by Biden Senior Adviser Anita Dunn

Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House press secretary, alleges in her memoir that senior adviser Anita Dunn attempted to undermine her role and treated her with less respect than white colleagues, particularly targeting women of color. Jean-Pierre claims Dunn orchestrated a campaign to push her out and spoke dismissively to female administration members, especially women of color. These allegations sparked significant discussion among Biden's former aides, with some defending Dunn, stating she supported Jean-Pierre's appointment and did not exhibit racist behavior. One black former aide highlighted that Dunn took special interest in ensuring minority voices were heard, while a white male aide confirmed Dunn's support for Jean-Pierre's elevation. The claims have revealed tensions within the Biden administration's communications team, though perspectives on Dunn's conduct vary among those familiar with the situation.
