Karine Jean-Pierre outraged at Peter Doocy for challenging her on political rhetoric after 2nd assassination attempt



White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was outraged after Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy challenged her about her rhetoric after the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

'That is also incredibly dangerous.'

Doocy pointed to Jean-Pierre's comments describing Trump as a "threat" at Tuesday's media briefing.

“It’s been only two days since somebody allegedly tried to kill Donald Trump again, and you’re here at the podium in the White House briefing room calling him a ‘threat.’ How many more assassination attempts on Donald Trump until the president and the vice president and you pick a different word to describe Trump other than ‘threat’?” Doocy asked.

Jean-Pierre appeared frustrated and angry during her response.

"Peter, if anything from this administration, I actually completely disagree with the premise of your question. The question that you’re asking, it is also incredibly dangerous in the way that you’re asking it," she responded.

"Because the American people are watching and to say that, to say that from an administration that has consistently condemned political violence, from an administration where the president called the former president and was thankful, grateful that he was okay, from an administration who has called out Jan. 6, called out the attack on Paul Pelosi, called out and said we need to lower the temperature after the Butler incident, and now for you to make that kind of comment in your question because your question involved a comment and a statement," Jean-Pierre continued.

"And that is also incredibly dangerous," she added. "When we have been very clear about condemning political violence from here."

She went on to recount the events and rhetoric that led to the rioting at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, including the rhetoric of then-President Donald Trump.

Doocy pressed back by asking whether someone might take her comments literally, and Jean-Pierre responded by repeating "Jan. 6" over and over.

A second attempt on Trump's life was thwarted by the arrest of an allegedly armed man hiding in the bushes outside of Trump International Golf Course on Sunday. The suspect was identified as Ryan Routh, and a significant digital footprint links him to left-wing causes.

The entire exchange between Jean-Pierre and Doocy can be watched on YouTube.

Jean-Pierre refuses to comment on the Bidens receiving money from Chinese energy company: 'I don't even know where to begin to answer'



White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer a question about bank records showing millions of dollars going from a Chinese energy company going to Biden family members.

Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy confronted the press secretary during Wednesday's White House media briefing.

"House Oversight says they have bank records showing a Chinese energy company paying three Biden family members through a third party. What were they paid for?" asked Doocy.

“Look, I’m just not going to respond to that from here. Look, we have heard from House Republicans for years and years and years how, how, the inaccuracies and lies when it comes to this issue,” Jean-Pierre said.

“And I don’t even know where to begin to even answer that question,” Jean-Pierre added. "Because, again, it’s been lies and lies and inaccuracy for the past couple of years and I’m just not going to get into it from here."

Republican House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky accused Jean-Pierre of lying about the bank records the committee had released.

“Jean-Pierre claims she doesn’t know where to begin when confronted with the facts of our investigation. She can start with the bank records we obtained showing a Chinese energy company paying members of the Biden family over $1 million through an associate,” Comer told the New York Post.

“Bank records don’t lie,” he said.

“The fact that President Biden and his press secretary continue to be dishonest with the American people about the Biden family’s shady business schemes is alarming," Comer concluded. "The House Oversight Committee will continue to pursue answers, transparency and accountability for the American people.”

The payments were made to three family members of President Joe Biden a few months after he left office in 2017 as vice president. Biden denied the accusations when pressed by reporters.

Peter Doocy forces Jean-Pierre to pretend Biden didn't say he would end fossil fuels as gas prices surge



White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appeared not to know President Joe Biden's past statements about the oil industry when she was confronted by reporter Peter Doocy on high gas prices.

Jean-Pierre made the comments during Wednesday's media briefing at the White House after the president announced an additional release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves in an attempt to relieve high gas prices ahead of the midterms.

"You're asking oil companies to further lower gas prices, what makes you think that they are going to listen to an administration that is ultimately trying to put them out of business?" asked Doocy.

"How is the administration trying to put them out of business?” replied Jean-Pierre.

"Well they produce fossil fuels and he says he wants to end fossil fuel," he responded, referring to comments the president made during the 2020 presidential campaign.

Jean-Pierre went on to say that oil production was on track to reach a record high in 2023 and said that oil companies could drop gas prices by increasing production because they had already done it previously. She did not address Biden's comments about ending fossil fuel.

The Republican National Committee responded immediately by posting a video with Biden's comments promising to stop fracking in the U.S. and saying that he would end fossil fuels.

Even more bizarre was the fact that Jean-Pierre herself told Doocy in June that the administration still intended to end U.S. reliance on fossil fuels.

The Biden administration has tried to blame high gas prices and other increasing costs on the war in Ukraine and the pandemic, but polls show that many more Americans blame Biden's policies than they do other causes. Democrats are also panicking over a New York Times poll showing that Republicans are gaining popularity because of weakness in the economy under Biden's leadership.

Here's the video of the interaction:

\u201cDoocy: You're asking oil companies to lower gas prices. What makes you think they will listen to an administration that is trying to put them out of business?\n\nKJP: How are we trying to put them out of business?\n\nDoocy: They produce fossil fuels, Biden wants to end fossil fuel\u201d
