‘Saying Things That Were Not True’: Peter Doocy Reacts To Former Jousting Partner KJP’s Book Announcement

Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy expressed doubt on Thursday that former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre can “square” her years-long lies about former President Joe Biden in response to her new book deal.

Jean-Pierre announced the release of her book, “Independent,” set to be published in October and stated that she is leaving the Democrat Party over its “betrayal” to Biden. As she tries to make a comeback in the public eye, Doocy told “Fox & Friends” that she likely cannot escape her long track record of lying to the press and the American people.

“The thing about this book is that she, towards the end, before Biden dropped out after Biden dropped out, she would say that legitimate questions were misinformation and I told her once, ‘you can’t just call something that you don’t like misinformation,’” Doocy said. “And so I don’t know how she’s going to square being the public face of saying things that were not true about the president and about policies. I don’t know how she’s just going to come out and say, ‘you know what? Just because I swore on camera that things were okay, actually here’s what was really going on.’”

Doocy repeatedly confronted Jean-Pierre on Biden’s cognitive ability while the White House still discredited any concerns about his physical and mental health. In Sept. 2023, Doocy asked the then-press secretary to explain why Biden repeated a story “word for word” just minutes after already telling it, which led Jean-Pierre to claim that he was simply making it “very clear” why he ran for president.
