President Joe Biden and Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy got into a testy exchange on Monday over the President's planned response to Russia's potential use of chemical weapons amid the crisis in Ukraine.

The back and forth started when Doocy asked a question during a press conference about how Biden's so-called "walk-back" on certain statements related to Russia will be taken by the rest of the world.


Particularly on the topic of chemical weapon use by Russia, Doocy said:

"When you said that a chemical weapon use by Russia would trigger a response in kind..."

Biden responded:

"It would trigger a significant response."

Doocy followed up by asking what that response would be. Biden then derailed the questioning.

He said the following:

"I'm not going to tell you."
"Why would I tell you?"
"You've got to be silly!"

Doocy chirped back:

"The world wants to know."

To this Biden said:

"The world wants to know a lot of things."
"I'm not telling them what the response would be."
"Then Russia knows the response."

Biden then moved on to other questions.

Twitter was so here for Biden's smackdown.





Biden and Doocy have a famously tense relationship. In January, Biden called the Fox reporter “a stupid son of a b***h” on live television for asking how rising inflation in the U.S. would impact the midterm election results. Though they've managed to maintain a relatively professional since then.

Doocy said President Biden called him within an hour of the January exchange:

“He said, "It’s nothing personal, pal.’”

Many agree that the relationship between Biden and Doocy is not one of hate or disrespect. Unlike the relationship between the press and the Trump administration, Biden remains respectful and eager to provide a platform for reporters.


Some people even find their relationship to be endearing.

Though tumultuous at times, Biden and Doocy's relationship is productive, and they each allow one another the space to do their respective jobs.

Trump Ripped After Griping About 'Sissy' New NFL Kickoff Rule In Unhinged Rant

President Donald Trump was criticized after he complained about the NFL's new "Dynamic Kickoff" rule that is designed to make playing football safer, calling it "sissy" football in a Monday morning post on Truth Social.

Under the previous rules, kickoffs began at the kicking team’s 35-yard line, with the goal of sending the ball as far as possible to pin the opposing offense deep in its own territory. The receiving team would try to advance the ball, which would often lead to high-speed collisions as players sprinted directly at each other.

Political Commentator Epically Fact-Checks Vance's Baseless Claims About Political Violence

In the wake of far-right activist Charlie Kirk's assassination, Vice President JD Vance has stepped up his attacks on leftists, this time by baselessly claiming that the far-left is more likely to commit political violence than the far-right.

Vance hosted a special episode of Kirk's podcast to attack what he referred to as “the lunatics in American politics" and said without any evidence that the suspect in Kirk's killing was motivated by far-left ideology.
