White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki has rejected claims she called Fox News reporter Peter Doocy “stupid”
This follows Psaki contributing to a panel discussion with “Pod Save America”, where she was asked whether or not she thought the reporter is a “stupid son of a bitch”.
This question is a dig at previous remarks made by President Joe Biden, where Biden was caught off-guard saying just that.
But during the panel, Psaki responded saying Doocy “works for a network that provides people with questions that might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.”
The footage quickly spread online, as did allegations the Press Secretary genuinely believes Doocy is stupid.
This prompted Psaki to then post a tweet clearing up her remarks noting both Doocy and herself are just doing their jobs, adding they debate and disagree and she respects this.
Doocy has been criticised a lot over recent months for his questioning.
