Jarrett on Critics: ‘When You Break Glass Ceilings, You’re Going To Get Scraped’

Valerie Jarrett Dismisses Critics: ‘When You Break Glass Ceilings’ You Get Cuts (Mediaite)

White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett was the subject of a controversial Politico Magazinepiece suggesting she leave the White House to work on President Obama‘s library, which just happened to be titled “Fire Valerie Jarrett.” That invited an onslaught of criticism against not just the Politico piece, but Jarrett herself, and she responded to the criticism today on MSNBC.

Joy Reid did not refer to the Politico piece specifically, but did ask Jarrett to respond to some of the criticism she’s been getting recently. And it didn’t seem to really bother Jarrett that much. She said, “When you break glass ceilings, you’re gonna get scraped––minor scrapes by a shard or two from the glass.”
