White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) looked like she was ready to pull her hair out after taking a question from her arch nemesis, Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy, who asked her about a lunch that took place Tuesday between President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, a week after the latter got shellacked by President-elect Donald Trump in last week’s presidential race.
Why would things be awkward, you ask? Well, for starters, Biden was the original Democratic Party nominee who was to take on Trump, which was the case until the infamous debate between the two during the summer. Biden did so poorly that it was obvious he could no longer hide much of his cognitive decline. The Democrats then forced him out and replaced him with his vice president.
Harris got the crap beat out of her, losing both the electoral college and the popular vote to Trump. Yeah, that could make for an awkward lunch, don’t you think?
And this isn’t the first time that Doocy and KJP have went a few rounds over the last few years. They’ve always had a tense relationship, much of which stems from the fact that Doocy asks tough questions and attempts to hold the administration accountable for their policies and actions, while the rest of the media are nothing more than propagandist lapdogs.

A few weeks ago, both KJP and Doocy went round and round in verbal fisticuffs after she accused the reporter of pushing misinformation. Doocy then produced “receipts” for his question and struck back at KJP with a vengeance.
via The Western Journal:
Doocy posted his response on X in a post with a caption that said he “brought receipts to hit back against the White House’s ‘misinformation’ claims against him.” “Peter Doocy here outside the West Wing of the White House where, this week, one of my questions about foreign aid versus hurricane relief was called misinformation,” he said, inserting a clip from his Monday duel with Jean-Pierre.

“President Biden is fond of saying, show me your budget, and I will tell you what you value. If he’s got money for people in Lebanon right now without Congress having to come back, what does it say about his values [that] there’s not enough money right now for people in North Carolina,” Doocy stated in the video.
“That’s no, that is your whole, your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir,” KJP replied.
The people of Lebanon are facing an increasingly dire humanitarian situation. I am concerned about the security and well-being of civilians suffering in Lebanon and will continue working to help meet the needs of all civilians there.
To that end, the United States will provide…

“I’ve got the information right here,” Doocy zinged after the clip of Monday’s exchange finished. “The vice president is posting on social media about $157 million in additional assistance to the people of Lebanon.”
It's crucial that Congress ensures that no critical disaster programs run out of funding ahead of their return in November.
Congress, I urge you to swiftly provide the requested additional funding communities, like those impacted by Hurricane Helene, need.
— President Biden (@POTUS) October 5, 2024
“President Biden is posting about how the Small Business Administration’s disaster loan program is going to run out of funding if Congress does not come back.” “To a lot of people watching these briefings, a taxpayer dollar is a taxpayer dollar is a taxpayer dollar. That is not misinformation. That is a fact,” he said.
Dear Kamala Harris,
North Carolina was flattened a few days ago and you just announced $157 BILLION to Lebanon
Can you pretend to care about America at least just one time. FYI $750 wont help these families
Sincerely,
EVERY American pic.twitter.com/XA7BiTazgs— Marjorie Taylor Greene Press Release (Parody) (@MTGrepp) October 6, 2024
These two are going to miss getting into these heated scraps once the days of the Biden-Harris administration comes to an end.
