Karoline Leavitt has obliterated Joe Biden's former press secretary in a scathing on-air takedown, calling her 'bitter' as she embarks on a nationwide media blitz to sell her memoir.
Leavitt was speaking with Jesse Watters on Fox when she was asked to respond to Karine Jean-Pierre's recent rebuke calling her 'deplorable.'
Without missing a beat, Leavitt launched into a 90-second blitz on Jean-Pierre's character and role in the White House during her time under Biden.
'With all due respect to my predecessor, she is one of the main culprits of the greatest cover-up and scandals in American history,' she said.
'She took the podium every day and lied to the press about the incompetence of her boss. And on this book tour, she continues to lie.'
Leavitt said the press and the public were 'gaslit' by Biden's staffers, who maintained during his term that he was 'mentally stable and up for he job' despite concerns behind closed doors about his capacity and health.
'I'm very proud to work for the greatest president in history. I know Karine unfortunately worked for the most incompetent president in history,' she said.
'So I guess she has a reason to be bitter. But being bitter will not sell your books.'
Jean-Pierre maintained in her book she did not see any decline in Biden's cognitive health while working closely alongside him in the White House.
'I was technically a part of the president's inner circle and saw Biden every day and saw no such decline,' she wrote.
Leavitt described the assertion as another lie.
While promoting the book this week, she told the panel on The View that Leavitt was 'deplorable' after she said the Democrat Party's 'main constituency are made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.'
Jean-Pierre said: 'I do want to say something to the first clip that you all just showed, which is hearing that, it's deplorable.
'I'm using that word on purpose. Because they don't seem to understand, this is the Trump White House, that they don't work for just one man. They work for the American people.'
She also called out Leavitt for a recent interaction she had with a journalist from the HuffPost, who had text her seeking comment on a story.
Instead of offering a serious reply, Leavitt responded with a 'your mom' joke which later surfaced on X.
'I'm very proud to work for the greatest president in history. I know Karine unfortunately worked for the most incompetent president in history,' Leavitt said (pictured, Leavitt with Trump)

'The White House press secretary is not about doing online trolling,' Jean-Pierre said.
'It is not. It is an honor and a privilege to have that job and to speak on behalf of the most powerful person in the world. And there is a level of respect for the freedom of the press, even if you disagree with them.'
