Conservative social media users tore into White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre this week for sharing a picture of the White House communications team, calling it the “best team in the business.”
Biden critics on X hammered the post, disputing the claim and accusing the press secretary of lying on behalf of President Biden throughout his time in office.
“It takes an army to come up with non-answers and lies,” conservative columnist Tim Young commented on Jean-Pierre’s post.
The outgoing press secretary shared the photo to her X account Friday, which depicted her and around a dozen of her staff smiling while standing next to President Biden.
She captioned the photo, stating, “Here’s to the best team in the business. I couldn’t do it without you. Let’s run through the tape! #thewestwing #POTUS #WhiteHouse.”

The photo went viral and attracted heat from a myriad of critics who vented their frustration at Jean-Pierre’s time as press secretary.
Washington Times columnist Tim Murtaugh gave Jean-Pierre and company a stern send-off, writing, “This ‘best team in the business’ lied to the world about the mental & physical fitness of the president and, ultimately, failed. Their work led to Trump’s huge win, which was a complete repudiation of everything they did in the most important jobs they’ll ever have.”
“Nice work,” he added.
The Free Press columnist Eli Lake asked, “In what business is this the best team?”
The Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross remarked, “They’re actually all the worst in the business which means they’ll be making $300k+ in That Town within a couple months.”
RedState.com writer Bonchie stated, “I keep waiting for her to exhibit some semblance of shame, but she just doesn’t have it in her.”
The Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway savaged the team, declaring, “There is not an easier job in the universe than being press secretary for a Democrat. And yet somehow y’all still failed.”
