(Headline USA) A Biden adviser allegedly said that all white people are “incredibly racist,” according to a new book by New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns.
The book claims that one of the president’s advisers insulted white people after being asked about why Kamala Harris was chosen to be President Joe Biden’s running mate. The adviser responded by saying Harris was “in many ways the safest, most obvious choice.” However, it was still a risky political move, the adviser claimed.
“You know, white women are incredibly racist. As are white men,” the adviser said, according to the book. “None of it was safe. It was a risky thing to do. But it was the safest of choices we had.”
When asked whether the adviser’s comments were legitimate, the White House refused to confirm or deny that the statement was true.
“We respect that there will be no shortage of books written about the administration containing a wide variety of claims,” a White House spokesperson said, according to Fox News.
“We don’t plan to engage in confirmations or denials when it comes to the specifics of those claims.”
Though it is not clear who the Biden adviser referenced in the book is, incoming press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has launched similar allegations of racism against Fox News. A clip from 2020 shows Jean-Pierre insulting the network and insisting that its hosts and viewers are racist.
“[Fox News] was racist before coronavirus, they are racist during the coronavirus, Fox News will be racist after the coronavirus,” she told MSNBC at the time.
