White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was left scratching her head after Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked her how "awkward" Vice President Kamala Harris's recent lunch with President Joe Biden was after she lost the election to President-elect Donald Trump.

Doocy asked:

“We know that, today, a week after the election, President Biden and Vice President Harris had a private lunch. How awkward was that?”

When a confused Jean-Pierre questioned "why would [the lunch] be awkward," Doocy reasoned that Harris and Biden are not getting along at the moment even though there is no evidence to suggest this is the case:

“Because she kept him at arm’s length and then she lost and now she’s back."

Jean-Pierre responded:

“Why would you characterize it as awkward? They have regular lunches. They meet and talk regularly. Why would you call it awkward?”

And after Doocy questioned if "there’s no weirdness about the way things have unfolded" since Harris lost the election, Jean-Pierre shut him down completely, pointing to Biden and Harris’s trip to Arlington National Cemetery on Monday for Veterans’ Day:

“Did you see them together yesterday as well when they honored our veterans and were together during the day making sure that we didn’t forget the brave men and women that fought for this country?”
“The president and vice president had lunch today. They’ve had lunch many times. They communicate with each other regularly."
"They had an opportunity to discuss the last 70 days or so of this administration, how important it is to get things done for the American people, and that’s their focus.”

You can watch their exchange in the video below.

Doocy was swiftly criticized, with more than a few suggesting that his line of questioning was essentially an "audition" to be Trump's Press Secretary come January.



Let's just say Jean-Pierre has the patience of a saint.

The Oscars Are Moving To YouTube Starting In 2029—And Everyone Is Making The Same Joke

In 2029, viewers will be able to watch influencer vlogs, conspiracy explainers, AI slop, and the Oscars ceremony all in the same place. After more than half a century on broadcast television, the Academy Awards are officially moving to YouTube, where the ceremony will stream exclusively beginning with the 101st Oscars.

It’s a seismic shift for Hollywood’s biggest night. The Oscars were first broadcast on NBC in 1953, bounced between NBC and ABC throughout the 1960s and ’70s, and eventually settled into a long, uninterrupted run on ABC starting in 1976. That partnership will officially end with the 100th Oscars ceremony in 2028, closing out more than 50 years on network television.

JFK's Grandnephew Offers Blunt Reality Check After Kennedy Center Board Votes To Add Trump's Name

Former Massachusetts Democratic Representative Joseph Kennedy III made a very important point when he explained why the name of the Kennedy Center can't just be changed on a whim after White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that the Kennedy Center Board had voted to rename the performing arts center the "Trump-Kennedy Center."

Congress officially named the center after former President John F. Kennedy in 1964, following his assassination. According to Donald A. Ritchie, who served as Senate historian from 2009 to 2015, because Congress bestowed the name, only Congress has the authority to legally change it.

Trump Announces 'Patriot Games' For America's 250th Birthday—And Everyone's Making The Same Grim Comparison

President Donald Trump invited comparisons to The Hunger Games after announcing several plans for America's 250th anniversary, including the "Patriot Games," in which one male and one female high schooler from each state and territory compete in an "unprecedented four-day athletic event."

The Hunger Games, written by Suzanne Collins, is the story of Katniss Everdeen, a young woman who finds herself up against a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line.
