White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Fox News reporter Peter Doocy got into another verbal sparring match on Tuesday, this time over a question Doocy asked about Vice President Kamala Harris’ voice.
The Fox News journalist, clearly at odds with Jean-Pierre about what constituted the most pressing news of the day, asked: “Since when does the vice president have what sounds like a Southern accent?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” Jean-Pierre replied with an exasperated laugh.
As Doocy tried to press forward, the White House spokesperson told him to stop wasting everyone’s time.
“Do you hear the question that — I mean, do you think Americans seriously think that this is an important question?” Jean-Pierre asked incredulously.
