Karine Jean-Pierre had another disaster unfolding right before her very eyes.
Jean-Pierre had to scramble into damage control mode.
And Karine Jean-Pierre panicked over Barack Obama revealing this shocking truth.
Barack Obama rode aboard Air Force One as Obama was set to attend a glitzy fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York City where the Hollywood and financial elite would pour a record $25 million in one night into Joe Biden’s campaign coffers.
Obama sauntered up to the press section of the plane to speak to the reporters who spent eight years worshipping him as a god when he served as president.
Even Karine Jean-Pierre could recognize trouble when she saw it and sprinted up to the press shouting that whatever Obama was about to say was off the record and not for print.
“Off the record! Off the record! Off the record!” Karine Jean-Pierre instructs the press as the audio stream begins aboard AF1.
OBAMA: “How’s it goin, everybody!?”

Jean-Pierre had good reason to keep Obama’s comments free from public consumption.
Obama wasn’t just attending the fundraiser because he wanted to hang out with celebrities in Manhattan.
Multiple reports in recent days show Obama taking a greater interest in the campaign because Obama knows Joe Biden is on track to lose and Obama thinks only he can pull the nose up on the plane.
“Obama has made clear to associates in recent months that he believes Biden’s intensifying re-match with Donald Trump in November will be incredibly close, and that the 2024 election marks an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ moment, people familiar with his thinking told CNN. To that end, his return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue last week was largely a working visit,” an exclusive CNN report read.
The New York Times reported that Obama’s newfound interest in the campaign comes from the fact that Obama understands Donald Trump is a far more formidable opponent than many Democrats and members of the press presumed.
“This level of engagement illustrates Mr. Obama’s support for Mr. Biden, but also what one of his senior aides characterized as Mr. Obama’s grave concern that Mr. Biden could lose to former President Donald J. Trump. The aide, who was not authorized to speak publicly, said that Mr. Obama has ‘always’ been worried about a Biden loss. And so, the aide added, he is prepared to ‘eke it out’ alongside his former vice president in an election that could come down to slim margins in a handful of states,” the Times report read.
Reporters were sure to ask Obama about these stories and his feelings on Joe Biden’s campaign.
And the last thing Karine Jean-Pierre wanted was for Barack Obama speaking the truth about Joe Biden to go public with quotes attached to his own name.
