Megyn Kelly Hammers Jen Psaki Over Peter Doocy Attack

(Tea Party PAC) – According to a new report from WND, journalist Megyn Kelly took an opportunity during the April 15 edition of her The Megyn Kelly Show podcast to drop the hammer on White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki concerning her recent comment that questions given to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy make him “sound like a stupid son of a b****.”

“I know it’s annoying to be asked tough questions, but it’s literally your job to answer them in that role, and you’d do better to be honest,” Kelly stated during the podcast.

The comments Kelly made on the program were in reference to comments made by Psaki on April 14 during an on-stage interview conducted with “Pod Save America,” when one of the co-hosts of the show, Dan Pfeiffer, asked her a question concerning Doocy, who tends to get in a lot of tangles with Psaki during press conferences hosted at the White House.

“Is he a stupid son of a b****, or does he just play a stupid son of b**** on TV?” Pfeiffer asked the press secretary, according to a piece from Politico.

Psaki replied to the question by saying, “Well, he works for a network that provides people with questions that — nothing personal to any individual, including Peter Doocy — but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a b****.”

Fox News then denied that it feeds questions to its reporters.

“In his role as White House correspondent, Peter Doocy’s job is to elicit truth from power for the American public,” a Fox News spokesperson said to Newsweek in a statement. “His questions are his own. He is a terrific reporter, and we are extremely proud of his work.”

“That same point was made by Kelly, herself a former Fox News reporter, who noted the different approaches between the cable news network and NBC, where she also worked,” WND reported.

“I laugh, when I went over to NBC, and they were like ‘Here, the producer’s writing all the questions for you.’ I’m like, ‘Why would I take the producer’s questions? Why would I do that? Like, I’m the anchor, it’s literally my one job is to come up with my own questions,’” Kelly said.

She then stated, “At Fox News, nobody ever wrote a question for me, ever. Not in a presidential debate, not on a big night, not on my nightly show, and I guarantee you, nobody’s writing Peter Doocy’s questions for him.”

“This most-recent dust up between Psaki and Doocy has its roots in a January hot mic moment where President Joe Biden called Doocy a ‘stupid son of a b****’ after the Fox News correspondent asked him if inflation would be a ‘political liability’ in November’s midterms,” the report continued.

Biden then later made a phone call to Doocy where he apologized for making his remarks.

Kelly then went on to speculate the motives behind the harsh comments made by Psaki concerning Doocy might be linked to the fact that “he’s the only one willing to ask her tough questions.”

This is a good point. Most of the other major media outlets are just propaganda machines that pump out positive spin and toss out easy, softball questions for the Biden administration to answer, avoiding anything that might make Biden look bad.

“In the near future, Psaki may find herself on the other end of the situation — that is, asking the tough political questions, instead of answering them,” the report added. “Psaki is reportedly expected to leave the White House and join MSNBC this spring.”
