Jill Biden's ex-press secretary rips White House narrative after Biden's NATO presser: 'Alternate universe'

First lady Jill Biden’s former press secretary blasted the White House communications team's narrative on Thursday, saying they live in an "alternate universe" after a senior official praised President Biden's performance at a NATO press conference.

"There are two different versions of reality in my party right now," Michael LaRosa, who served as first lady Jill Biden's press secretary, wrote on X on Thursday night in response to a post from Republican communicator Sarah Matthews criticizing the White House's senior deputy press secretary, Andrew Bates.

Matthews had criticized Bates for a post on X he made following President Biden’s highly anticipated NATO press conference on Thursday night where the senior staffer said, "To answer the question on everyone’s minds: No, Joe Biden does not have a doctorate in foreign affairs. He’s just that f---ing good."

"Everyone evaluated POTUS's performance based on how they wanted to feel or how they already felt about the situation," LaRosa told Fox News Digital.
