Karine Jean-Pierre dubbed 'clown' after Sean Hannity tweets about her clash with Fox News reporter
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: On Thursday, September 21, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre lashed out at Fox News reporter Peter Doocy during a press briefing as he peppered her with questions on immigration. Despite that, she ultimately chose not to give an answer.
The tense exchange occurred during Thursday's White House press briefing when Doocy confronted Jean-Pierre about the US-Mexico border experiencing 10,000 illegal crossings in a single day this week.
Following this event, Fox News anchor Sean Hannity took to X (formerly Twitter) to update his followers on Pierre’s statement and the migrant crisis.
Soon after Hannity’s tweet, the internet quickly blasted Pierre on social media, saying, “She is not a good press secretary.”

Doocy then responded, "You're answering my question with a question."
As the conversation became more contentious, Pierre concluded, "I'm answering – OK, we're going to move on," and both continued to speak over each other. Doocy finally appealed, "Karine, please."
