Another classic Doocy-KJP face-off…

During a White House press briefing this week, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy questioned press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about a passage from the new book The Last Politician by Atlantic writer Franklin Foe.

 
The passage: “rather than owning his [Biden’s] failure, he fumed to friends how he was treated like a toddler. Was [former President] John Kennedy ever babied like that?”
“President Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. Why does White House staff treat him like a baby?” Doocy asked KJP.
“No one treats the President of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief, like a baby,” the press secretary responded.
“So, there’s this book that says—” Doocy began.
“That’s ridiculous, it’s a ridiculous claim,” Jean-Pierre interjected, adding “I’ll say this, there is always going to be a range of books that are about every administration, as you know, that’s going to have a variety of claims. That is not unusual, that happens all the time and we’re not going to litigate here. That’s not something that we are going to speak to.”
