‘One Last Dance’: Karine Jean-Pierre and Fox News’ Peter Doocy Share Warm Moment After Years of Testy Exchanges
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy took a moment to express gratitude for one another during Monday’s briefing, one week before President Joe Biden and his staff leave the building for good
After Jean-Pierre called on Doocy, gestured to him, and said, “Hi,” with a smile, Doocy began by commending her for always taking his questions.
“Thank you, Karine,” Doocy said. “If I don’t see you again in the briefing, thank you for always — you could have stopped taking the hard questions years ago and you didn’t; so we appreciate that.”
Jean-Pierre then shared some kind words of her own while reminiscing about the last two years of interactions between them.
“Over two years, my friend,” she said. “This is, let’s say, one last dance, right? I don’t know how I’m gonna fill my dance card now. How will I fill that void without you?”
Jean-Pierre’s comment drew laughs from the press as Doocy quipped, “You tell me!”
“Start some rumors in here, I guess,” Jean-Pierre added.
Another member of the press then joked that Doocy’s face got red in response to Jean-Pierre’s dance analogy. After the moment of levity, the briefing resumed its regular routine.
