On Wednesday, Peter Doocy got under WH Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s skin when he cornered her over Biden’s mishandling of classified documents at an office in Washington D.C. When pressed, she got defensive immediately and began stumbling over her words. Doocy used Biden’s own words against her, and she was not happy about it.
“On these documents,” Doocy began. “How could anyone be that irresponsible?” he said, quoting Joe Biden himself. After a long pause with no response from Jean-Pierre, Doocy kept pushing. “Isn’t that what this president says about mishandling classified documents?,” he asked the far-left press secretary.

Why can’t the Biden administration just tell the truth for once in their lives?
