White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre is facing heat over her response to a question about the Left’s rhetoric toward former President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, Fox News’ Peter Doocy said, “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’?” he asked.
Jean-Pierre sighed then responded:
“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 because the American people are watching and to say that, to say that [about] 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. And that is also incredibly dangerous.”

Additionally, the Secret Service said they did not search the perimeter before Trump began golfing. Law enforcement also said the would-be assassin never had Trump in his sights and did not get a shot off.
Jean-Pierre was blasted for her response to Doocy’s question:
