Speaking with The Grio, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre went on a very glowing rant about the historic Biden Administration and her place in it as a “historic figure.”
She was introduced as a “history maker” owing to her being the first Black person, gay person and immigrant to hold the role, Fox News reports.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever had an image or a view of what it would be like as a historic figure in this role because you never know, but one thing that I can say is being the first, and I’ve had many firsts, it’s always very different,” she said. “It’s going to be very different for me than it was for the last 34 press secretaries, and that’s just a fact.”
“It’s not lost on me the communities that I represent and what I mean to those communities, and how they view me at the podium and how important it is to them,” she added. “That is also on my mind, right? On how I’m representing the Black community, the Caribbean community, the LGBTQ+ community, and it is important I do that well.”
“This is a historic administration. I am an historic figure, and I certainly walk in history every day, but this is also a [history] making administration because of this president,” Jean-Pierre said.
