Somebody's Gonna Have To Explain It To Me

'You can't tell me how to answer': Karine Jean-Pierre battles Peter Doocy over Covid origins https://t.co/517KZkUMIk

Doocy suggested Biden was hypocritical because his campaign rhetoric mentioned "empty chairs" from Covid-19 deaths.

"It was because of this president that took action, by the way, the last administration did not — they did not have a comprehensive plan," Jean-Pierre replied.

Doocy tried to interrupt, but the press secretary refused.

"No, no, no," she said. "First of all, you can't tell me how to answer the question. I'm going to answer it for you. Right? So, just give me a second."

"Because he took those actions, he actually helped to save lives," Jean-Pierre explained. "Because he took action to make sure that people got shots in arms and put a comprehensive plan in front of the American people, and put in the work, we actually were able to get to a place where Covid is not gone, but we're in a different place in the pandemic. And that's because of the president."

Not on the basis of that exchange, but because of who he works for:  I don't understand why FoxNews still has press privileges at the White House, and why Peter Doocy is still allowed into the briefing room.

FoxNews is not a news outlet, by any definition of the term.  It is not worthy of recognition by the Press Secretary or admission to the briefing room.  Period.
