As he so frequently does, Fox “News” correspondent Peter Doocy managed to ask a question so stupid that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was forced to dispatch him with a stinging rebuke.
“Is any part of the West Wing here, just loving the fact that Republicans don’t appear to be able to govern the one part of the government that they actually control?” Doocy asked.
Jean-Pierre responded:
“Nobody’s ‘loving’ anything when we’re not able to deliver for the American people. Nobody’s loving that.”
She added:
“It is important for Congress to work, not for us, but on behalf of the American people. It is important to make sure that we meet the challenges of the American people. That’s what’s important. What we saw, you heard from the President, what we saw on Saturday should have never happened, but we’re glad that a deal was made. We’re glad that we’re not in a shutdown. But House Republicans should have never gotten us that far.”
The press secretary noted that since Republicans are the majority in the House, “they can fix this.”
“They’re creating the chaos. That is not helpful to the American people.”
“…We’re not loving it. It is not helpful to any American across the country.”
Fox News cuts off interview with senator for "breaking news," which is Peter Doocy asking KJP the following questions:
– is the West Wing "loving the fact" that the GOP doesn't appear able to govern the House?
– are you guys talking about a possible Speaker Trump? pic.twitter.com/Csr2E2CYI5
