Karine Jean-Pierre Acknowledged Peter Doocy’s Question

A video circulating on social media shows White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre allegedly avoiding a question about former President Donald Trump being called a “threat” following an apparent assassination attempt against him. The video was altered to remove Jean-Pierre’s response to the question, which was actually a lengthy explanation of the administration’s stance on political violence. The full video of the exchange shows that Jean-Pierre did not abruptly end the press conference after the question, as claimed in the post. She continued to take questions from other reporters before ending the briefing about eight minutes later. This incident is part of ongoing conflicts between Jean-Pierre and Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy during White House press briefings. The video was altered to portray Jean-Pierre in a negative light, but the full context reveals she did address the question before moving on to other topics. This serves as a reminder to be cautious of edited videos circulating on social media and to seek out full context before forming opinions or sharing information.
