Jen Psaki Swiftly Shuts Down Fox News Reporter After He Asks If The Border Is A 'Disaster'

Jen Psaki Swiftly Shuts Down Fox News Reporter After He Asks If The Border Is A 'Disaster'
C-SPAN2

When Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Jen Psaki a "gotcha" question during a recent news conference, President Joe Biden's White House Press Secretary responded with a well-formulated answer that got ample attention from Twitter.

You can see the exchange here:




Doocy asked Psaki:

"Does FEMA's arrival at the border mean that the administration feels that what is happening down at the border is a disaster?"

Psaki, who was less than amused by Doocy's line of questioning, replied:

"I know we always get into the fun of labels around here but I would say our focus is on solutions and this is one of the steps that the president felt would help -- not become a final solution -- but help expedite processing, help ensure that people who are coming across the border have access to health and medical care."



When Psaki pointed out the border crossings were enormous, Doocy asked:

"We've heard you say that it's a problem, it's a challenge. Is it now a disaster?"

Psaki wasn't fazed.

"I appreciate the opportunity. FEMA is there to help ensure that the people who are at the border, who are coming across the border have access to HHS and [Office of Refugee Resettlement] shelters, that we can swiftly place them with vetted families. They are playing a number of roles."



Doocy—the son of Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy—was dunked on by Twitter from all sides.



During his memorable moments in the briefing room, Doocy has seemed far more interested in making the Biden administration look bad than uncovering any serious information.



Psaki continues to impress viewers with her calm, collected reactions to many "gotcha" questions from right wing media.

This instance was no exception.

'Stranger Things' Star Perfectly Shuts Down Rumors That Winona Ryder Requested Fewer Scenes With Her

In Season 2 of Stranger Things, audiences met Erica Sinclair, the sharp-tongued, no-nonsense younger sister of Lucas Sinclair, played by Priah Ferguson. What began as a scene-stealing supporting role quickly turned Ferguson into one of the show’s most reliable sources of comic relief and truth bombs.

That reputation is exactly why a recent TikTok misrepresentation of her words fell apart on contact—and why Ferguson wasted no time correcting it.

Venezuelan Opposition Leader Makes Desperate Offer To Trump After He Rules Her Out As New Leader—And Yikes

Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Peace Prize recipient María Corina Machado seems to have made a desperate attempt to curry favor with President Donald Trump after she told Fox News she wants to give him her award after he invaded Venezuela and ousted dictator Nicolás Maduro.

Trump told reporters this week that while Machado was a “very nice woman,” she “doesn’t have the support within or the respect within the country” to lead Venezuela, sparking concerns that his remarks were driven by personal resentment, particularly after Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize instead of him.
