KJP personally attacks Peter Doocy when he confronts her with hard data that makes Biden's re-election chances look dismal
January 23, 2024
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre targeted Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy on Monday, accusing him without evidence of political bias.
At the White House press briefing, Doocy asked Jean-Pierre about a recent ABC News poll showing that Americans have less confidence in President Joe Biden's health than ever before.
That poll found that only 28% of Americans believe Biden has the mental acuity necessary to be president and 28% of Americans believe Biden has the physical fitness required of presidents, two metrics that worsened compared to May 2023. The data suggests that Biden's re-election bid is an uphill climb.
At first, Jean-Pierre described the poll as "a little confusing" before attacking Doocy with an accusation of bias.
"If you look at what this president has done the last three years, historical pieces of legislation — right? — and when it comes to a bipartisan infrastructure deal, many presidents before, like your favorite president, had said that —" she continued when Doocy interjected.
"Who's my favorite president?" he shot back.
"Why don't we let the American people guess?" Jean-Pierre responded suggestively.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no," Doocy protested.
"Well, no, no, no, no. Let me finish. Let me finish. Let me finish. You asked me a question. I'm going to —" Jean-Pierre insisted, having lodged the accusation.
"I don't understand what you're getting at," Doocy said.
Unfortunately, Jean-Pierre didn't explain why she made the accusation. She was clearly insinuating that former President Donald Trump is Doocy's "favorite president," but Doocy has never said that.
Importantly, while the legacy media enjoys attacking Doocy as a shill working for an alleged right-wing news network, Doocy is not a registered voter in any political party, evidence that he takes serious his commitment to journalism. He was, on the other hand, a registered Democrat in college, according to Politico.
