Stephen Colbert cautions Karine Jean-Pierre not to slam Dems too hard

In an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday, former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed that her new book, Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines, provides a "road map" to move away from the two-party system that exists in the US. Colbert said that becoming independent would do nothing to help things.

"Do you recommend everyone leave the party, and if so, where do they go? Because organization is how you face tyranny. Freelancing isn’t going to get anybody anything done," said Colbert.
