It’s widely suspected that Joe Biden wasn’t in total control during his presidency. But now we may have an answer on who was actually in charge.
And a former Biden official gave insight into who really wan the White House.
In the shadowy corridors of the Biden White House, a former insider has blown the lid off a toxic environment dominated by ruthless cliques and backstabbing enforcers. Michael LaRosa, who once served as Jill Biden’s spokesman, unleashed a fiery takedown in a Fox News op-ed, painting a picture of a “cult” where loyalty was enforced with an iron fist and bullies ran the show unchecked.
LaRosa didn’t hold back, calling out the “Biden Bubble” as a breeding ground for intimidation tactics that kept everyone in line. He pointed to Vice President Kamala Harris’s upcoming book as the spark that finally ignited public scrutiny of this mess.
“Harris’s forthcoming book, according to recently released excerpts, says what insiders whispered for years: the Biden bubble was full of bullies,” LaRosa stated. He also said that Harris was “finally saying the quiet part out loud.”
Drawing a sharp pop culture parallel, LaRosa likened the inner circle to high school tyrants. “Inside the White House, the Regina Georges of Biden’s circle ruled like mean girls and policed loyalty,” he said, referencing the movie “Mean Girls.”
The atmosphere wasn’t about public service, according to LaRosa—it was pure devotion to a flawed regime. “Staff weren’t serving a president and first lady — they were serving a cult,” LaRosa stated. “You never knew when Regina was in charge or when the Bidens were. It was all blurred.”
Despite the venomous underbelly, LaRosa gave a nod to the Bidens themselves. “Joe and Jill Biden were warm, decent, empathetic,” he said. “But they enabled some of the nastiest and most mean-spirted people I’ve ever encountered in politics. That contradiction defines the Biden era.”
Irony drips from every corner of this saga, as LaRosa highlighted Biden’s obsession with portraying Donald Trump as the big bad wolf of politics. “Biden’s final mission, he said, was to save the country from Trump — who Democrats consider to be the ultimate bully,” LaRosa added. “But bullies are everywhere, even among Democrats, and despite his brand — even around Biden.”
Smartly, LaRosa kept names out of his explosive piece, letting the accusations hang like a storm cloud over the entire administration without pinpointing individuals. This leaves room for speculation about who the real power players were in this dysfunctional setup.
Remember Biden’s bold promise back in 2021? At the time, the then-president promised that “If you’re ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect, talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot.”
That declaration was meant to set Biden apart from the Trump era, which liberals loved to smear as a hotbed of rough edges and tough talk. Yet, voices like LaRosa insist it was all smoke and mirrors, with the Biden team failing to practice what they preached.
LaRosa’s credentials add weight to his claims—he was knee-deep in the 2020 campaign and stuck around as Jill’s mouthpiece from early 2021 until July 2022. His exit came amid shifts in the first lady’s office that only amplified the drama.
Enter Anthony Bernal, who stepped up as Jill Biden’s chief of staff during LaRosa’s final months. Labeled by some as her “work husband,” Bernal wielded unprecedented influence for someone in that role, but whispers of his tyrannical style painted him as a terror for underlings, as outlets like the New York Post have detailed.
Now, Harris’s memoir “107 Days” dives into the ugly rivalries that plagued her time as VP. She pulls no punches on how Biden’s crew sabotaged her at every turn, feeding the press with dirt to keep her down.
“I often learned that the president’s staff was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprang up around me,” Harris said in her book, per a preview that was shared by The Atlantic. “One narrative that took a stubborn hold was that I had a ‘chaotic’ office and unusually high staff turnover during my first year.”
Harris nailed the motive behind the smears. “Their thinking was zero-sum: If she’s shining, he’s dimmed,” she stated. “None of them grasped that if I did well, he did well. That given the concerns about his age, my visible success as his vice president was vital. It would serve as a testament to his judgment in choosing me and reassurance that if something happened, the country was in good hands.”
The backlash was swift—after the excerpts leaked, ex-Biden staffers went anonymous to sling mud at Harris, questioning her competence and piling on the insults through various news channels. LaRosa sees Harris’s defiance as a turning point. “So far, Harris isn’t bending. Not this time. She sees what I saw. What we all eventually saw. And she is standing up to them,” LaRosa stated.
In wrapping up his op-ed, LaRosa urged Harris to keep the truth flowing. “I hope she continues to speak with unfiltered candor about her experience,” he said. “Take it from this Democrat. She’ll sleep better at night.”
This whole episode exposes the rot at the heart of the Democrat machine—preaching unity while devouring their own. For those fed up with the elite’s games, it’s a reminder that real strength comes from leaders like Trump, who faced the swamp head-on.
