White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre delivered her final press briefing this week as the Biden administration prepares its exit.

The outgoing spokesperson for the president reflected on her short tenure at the lectern to expound on how the “give and take” with reporters is “part of our democracy,” though many would beg to differ after hundreds of briefings filled with questionable content.

“As I said during my first briefing when I took over this role, we might not see eye to eyes here in this room all the time, and that is okay,” she told reporters on Wednesday “The give and take that happens here is incredibly healthy, and it is part of our democracy. I have been honored to partake in it with all of you — well, most of the time.”

Jean-Pierre admitted on her way out the door that she has not spoken to her successor, Karoline Leavitt, who served as a spokesperson for President-elect Donald Trump’s campaign.

“I wish her the best of luck,” Jean-Pierre said. “This is a great job, an amazing opportunity … to go back and forth with all of you and speak on behalf of this president, the president of the United States. There’s nothing like it.”

WATCH: The final moments of the last ever WH briefing with KJP has a fitting end – an unanswered question, a literal shrug emoji, and reporters chuckling that she’d tell them privately what she thinks about @KarolineLeavitt….

Even in her final briefing, Jean-Pierre continued to frustrate reporters with her responses.

Many recalled a tenure filled with circular answers to press questions.

“I would refer you to…”
“Let me circle back to you on that.”
“I don’t have any updates on that.”
“We’ve been very clear…”
“That is something for Congress to act on.”
“Let me just say this…”
“The president has been very clear…”
“I’m not going to get into…

Social media users on X gave a collective sigh of relief – and a few celebratory handclaps – over the end of Jean-Pierre’s reign.

Worst press secretary of all time. The constant lies, gaslighting, and propaganda was awful. She won’t be missed.

May we never again have a spokesperson for the executive branch with so little actual knowledge

Good riddance. You were horrible at your job, to the point of embarrassing yourself daily. You have no executive presence to speak at a podium and you wasted everyone’s time on a daily basis. Disgraceful.
