White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre attempted to answer a question about the surge in illegal immigration when unruly Fox News reporter Peter Doocy interrupted her.
The Biden Administration is overseeing an unprecedented and historic crisis at the southern border.
During a press briefing, Jean-Pierre cut off Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy and refused to answer a basic question about the border.
“So, what do you call it here at the White House when ten thousand people illegally cross the border in a single day?” Doocy asked.
“So what do you call it, Peter, when the GOP puts forth a—” Jean-Pierre began as Doocy demanded an answer.
“Wait, no. No, no, no, no,” Jean-Pierre said. “I’m answering—okay, we’re gonna move on.”
Doocy: “What do you call it when 10,000 illegals cross the border in a single day.”
Jean-Pierre: “What do you call it when republicans…”
Doocy: You’re not answering
Jean-Pierre: “We’re moving on”

“Karine, it’s a question. Okay,” Doocy said.
“We’re moving on,” Jean-Pierre said as she pointed to another reporter.
“Karine, please,” Doocy said. “You said you were stopping the flow at the border. Ten thousand migrants—”
“Peter, I tried to answer the question, you stopped me. Let’s go,” the press secretary said.
Jean-Pierre was trying to answer the question, but Doocy wouldn’t let her speak. She quickly moved on and dismissed Doocy’s rude behavior.
