Former Jill Biden Press Secretary Alleges Bullying

Michael LaRosa, a former press secretary for Jill Biden, wrote a Fox News op-ed accusing the White House of a 'Biden bubble' rife with bullies and a cult-like 'mean girls' culture that policed loyalty and blurred lines of authority. He said the administration's inner circle punished dissenters, made staffers serve the clique as much as the Bidens, and that he personally was targeted after pointing out mistakes, which he said served as a warning to others ahead of 2024. LaRosa described Joe and Jill Biden as warm, decent and empathetic but said they enabled some of the most mean-spirited operatives in the administration. He said his account aligns with complaints in Vice President Kamala Harris's forthcoming memoir, 107 Days, and media reports have linked figures such as Anthony Bernal to allegations of a bullying environment, though LaRosa did not extensively name individuals in the op-ed.
