White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki managed to shut down Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy yet again at Friday’s daily press briefing when he asked how the terrorists who murdered 13 U.S. service members in Afghanistan yesterday would be dealt with.
Mediaite reports that Doocy asked Psaki:
“What does that look like? Is he going to order a mission to kill the people responsible or would he be satisfied if they are captured and brought to trial?”
Psaki responded:
“I think he made clear yesterday that he does not want them to live on the Earth anymore.”
For a follow-up question, Doocy inquired:
“Are we going to try to bring those known terrorists to justice before we leave the country?”
The press secretary replied:
“Peter, I think our focus right now is on doing everything we can to get the remaining American citizens who want to depart out of the country, to get our Afghan partners out of the country. This is not a preferred relationship or a situation that we would have designed if we had started from scratch. I think that’s very clear.”
Is Doocy so clueless that he doubts the prowess of the U.S. military and their ability to track down those responsible and mete out the necessary punishment? Or is he trying to suggest that President Biden isn’t capable of making a decision to order the elimination of those who killed our brave troops as they tried to evacuate people from a hellhole?
Thank you, Jen Psaki, for putting Peter Doocy in his place yet again.
