White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre appeared to give Fox News’ Peter Doocy a bit of a good-natured zing on social media Sunday afternoon, which puts President Joe Biden’s “I’m going to bed” press conference remarks in greater context.
Doocy reported live from Hanoi, where Biden took questions from selected reporters and appeared to be committed to staying on script of only asking pre-selected reporters before ending the Q&A session by admitting he was tired.
Doocy appeared on Fox & Friends Sunday live moments before Biden spoke and was asked by Will Cain, “What can be expected from this? Is it a Q and a, a set of statements from a short statement here?”
“As many questions as he wants to take,” Doocy replied. “He has been basically working all through the night. The equivalent of an all-nighter, Eastern time. So, he’s probably pretty tired, jet lagged, but he should take at least a few.”
