During a Q&A session with the White House press corps on Monday, President Joe Biden was asked by Fox reporter Peter Doocy for details about how the United States military would respond to actions such as the use of chemical weapons by Russian forces, and he got resoundingly slapped down by the president.
Doocy asked Biden:
“When you said that a chemical weapon use by Russia would trigger a response in kind…”
The president corrected Doocy:
“It would trigger a significant response.”
The Fox correspondent then followed up:
“What does that mean?”
That’s when the president took Doocy to the woodshed:
“I’m not going to tell you. Why would I tell you? You’ve gotta be silly!”
Doocy:
“The world wants to know.”
But Biden was more than ready for that comeback:
“The world wants to know a lot of things. I’m not telling them what the response would be. Then Russia knows the response.”
