Karine Jean-Pierre responded to Peter Doocy’s question

The claim circulating on social media suggests that White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre avoided a question about former President Donald Trump being a ‘threat’ during a press conference. The video showing the exchange between Jean-Pierre and Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy was edited to make it appear as though she abruptly ended the briefing without responding. However, the full video of the exchange reveals that Jean-Pierre did respond at length to Doocy’s question, disagreeing with its premise and condemning political violence. She then continued to take questions from other reporters before ending the press conference about eight minutes after Doocy’s question. This incident highlights the ongoing sparring between Jean-Pierre and Doocy during press briefings. Despite the misleading nature of the edited video, it is important to verify the accuracy of social media claims before spreading misinformation. This incident also underscores the need for fact-checking and the importance of transparency in journalism.
