Incoming White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre previously pushed the now-debunked reports that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia in 2016.

Jean-Pierre, currently the White House deputy press secretary, reiterated former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid’s claims that the Trump campaign “was in on” Russia’s attempted interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Flynn, Manafort and The Donald himself (inviting Russia to partake in espionage on our election) #PutinLoveAffair,” she said.

When Trump campaign advisor George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI, Jean-Pierre tagged Trump calling it  his collusion. In January 2018, she said “Collusion=Donald Trump.”

Former special counsel Robert Mueller found the reports alleging that the Trump’s real estate company, the Trump Organization, had a secret line of communication with Russia’s Alfa Bank for possible collusion were false in 2019. The Clinton campaign and lawyer, Michael Sussman, pushed the claims and shared the details with The New York Times and the FBI’s general counsel.

Jean-Pierre also alleged the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election was stolen from Democratic candidate Stacey Abrams after her Republican opponent Brian Kemp defeated her.

“Reminder: Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgias and Stacey Abrams,” she tweeted in 2020.

The incoming press secretary also claimed Trump could start a “horrible civil war” due to his alleged “bigotry and racism” during a 2019 MSNBC interview, Fox News reported.

He is not a president for Black people. He’s not a president for women. He’s not a president for brown people. He’s not a president for the LGBTQ community. He chooses to just double down and triple down on bigotry and racism,” she said. “I don’t know where Donald Trump wants to take this. But wherever it is, it’s going to be dangerous. It could lead to some sort of a horrible civil war.”

She also fueled the sexual assault allegations against Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings in 2018 by reiterating gang-rape allegations brought forth by Julie Swetnick, who alleged that Kavanaugh and a friend spiked girls’ drinks at parties in the 1980’s and had been gang raped in 1982, though she did not specify if the then-nominee took part in the rape.

“Julie Swetnick, 3rd Brett Kavanaugh accuser tells @nbc that he was a ‘very mean drunk,’ she said.

Jean-Pierre is in a relationship and shares a child with CNN’s National Correspondent Suzanne Malveaux, who the network confirmed to the Daily Caller will not cover politics, Capitol Hill or the White House while her partner works in her position. Psaki touted on Thursday that the new press secretary will be the first black and LGBTQ person to serve in the role.

She is expected to step up to her new position on May 13 as Psaki is expected to host a show on MSNBC’s streaming platform, Peacock.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
