Jen Psaki Shuts Down Fox News Reporter After He Complains  Biden 'Never' Calls On Him

Jen Psaki Shuts Down Fox News Reporter After He Complains  Biden 'Never' Calls On Him

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki is no stranger to reporters trying to derail press conferences. Earlier this month, a reporter from EWTN Global Catholic Network tried to catch her up with right-wing talking points about forcing medical providers to perform procedures they disagree with in reference to the Equality Act.

More recently, Peter Doocy of Fox News complained during a press conference his network is "never" among those on the list to be called on by the President to ask questions.


Doocy—the son of Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy—asked:

"Fox is the only member of the five-network TV pool that has never been on the list in front of the President, and I'm just curious if that is kind of official administration policy."

Psaki had no time for Doocy's complaining in the form of a question.

"We're having a conversation right now, aren't we? And do I take questions from you every time you come to the briefing room?"
"Has the President taken questions from you since ... he came into office? Yes or no?"

Doocy's mildly petulant reply left something to be desired.

"Unfortunately, only when I have shouted after he goes through his whole list. And the President has been very generous with his time with Fox. I'm just curious about this list that he is given."

You can view their whole conversation below.

Twitter users weren't impressed by Doocy's question, but they loved Psaki's answer.







People noted over and over Press Secretary Psaki keeps proving she knows how to handle questions asked in bad faith with grace and poise.

Prince Harry Had The Perfect Response When Asked If He Can Do An American Accent—And It Was Actually Pretty Good

Americans are fascinated by hearing people from other countries "drop" their accents and emulate an American one.

For example, it's always interesting to see a British or Australian actor in a movie where they're portraying an American character, but while they might veil their natural accent, they sometimes emulate an American accent from a different part of the country than what would make sense for their character.

J.D. Vance Faces Backlash After Saying He Hopes His Wife Usha Will Be 'Moved' To Convert To Christianity

Vice President JD Vance was criticized after he said during a Turning Point USA event that he hopes his wife, Second Lady Usha Vance, who is the daughter of Telugu-speaking Indian Hindu immigrants who hail from Andhra Pradesh, will convert to Christianity someday and "see things the same way" that he does.

A woman in the audience had the opportunity to ask Vance how he squares having a Hindu wife and mixed-race children with his anti-immigration rhetoric, a nod to the Trump administration's ongoing immigration crackdown that is tearing families across the country apart.
