Fox News Digital exclusively received the excerpt from the upcoming book “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future” by Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin. They wrote that one of the President’s advisers made that allegation about Biden’s decision to make now-Vice President Kamala Harris his running mate.

“In the reckoning of one close adviser to Biden, Harris was ‘in many ways the safest, most obvious choice,’” the book reads. “But to call her merely a Goldilocks pick, this person says, would be to underrate the gumption Biden showed in putting her on the ticket.”

“Harris had scored the best in campaign polling among all the Black women considered for the job, but the data had not suggested she would be a risk-free choice,” the book asserts.

“You know, White women are incredibly racist. As are White men,” the adviser said, according to the book. “None of it was safe. It was a risky thing to do. But it was the safest of choices we had.”

When asked by Fox News Digital about the book excerpt, the White House would not confirm the adviser’s words.

“We respect that there will be no shortage of books written about the Administration containing a wide variety of claims,” a White House spokesperson said. “We don’t plan to engage in confirmations or denials when it comes to the specifics of those claims.”

The new book also suggested that a key adviser to Biden, Office of Public Engagement director and senior adviser Cedric Richmond, referred to “Squad” Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., as “f---ing morons” while speaking to a friend.

According to the book, Richmond was the most vocal of Biden’s advisers who were preparing for a progressive party mutiny, condemning the Democrats’ Left-wing for misreading the 2020 campaign results and not being political savvy in a phone call to a Louisiana ally after his selection was declared.

Richmond had been focused by the Progressive activist group the Sunrise Movement over his fossil fuel industry ties and was not too happy with Ocasio-Cortez, Tlaib, and the other “Squad” members, going so far as to call them “f---ing idiots.”

Counselor to the President Steve Ricchetti also had words for “the Squad,” albeit less harsh than Richmond, telling a Capitol Hill Biden ally that the “problem with the Left is they don’t understand that they lost.”
