Peter Doocy Breaks Down White House ‘Stagecraft’ Designed to ‘Minimize’ Biden’s Mistakes: ‘They Would Just Blast Music’

With just a few days left in the Biden administration, Fox News White House corresponding Peter Doocy shared insights on what he saw as White House “stagecraft” designed to “minimize” mistakes made by President Joe Biden by limiting access to the press.

Doocy made some interesting claims that verged on accusation as he openly speculated on what he, and many Americans, witnessed firsthand as Biden’s White House communications team appeared to limit the president’s access to the media.

Appearing Friday morning on Fox & Friends, which is co-hosted by his father, Steve Doocy, Peter spilled the proverbial tea, perhaps knowing that, with just three days remaining in the Biden administration, his access, which was already limited by the fact he works for Fox News, would suffer zero consequence by revealing some dirt.

Father Steve teed up his son by referencing Biden’s MSNBC interview with Lawrence O’Donnell. “I remember about four years ago when you were there on the North Lawn and barking questions at him, he famously said, you know, if I got to go, if I answer those questions, I’m going to get in trouble with somebody,” he said, “And, you know, whoever it is who’s actually running for the White House, they knew back then they had to keep him away from people who wanted to ask questions.”

“Looking at it now, what they did is they minimized him and minimized him and minimized him so much that his very few he made so few public appearances that when he did pop up, if he misspoke, it would be the only thing that we had to go on for like two weeks is him making some mistake that they never sent him back out to clarify,” Peter replied.”

“And a lot of it was stagecraft when that early on when it was Covid and social distancing, it was just like five people, including the press and him, in a big room, and it was empty,” he continued. “And we could shout to him, and he could hear it. But they started to get smarter from the perspective of keeping him from saying something off script.”

“So they would put a microphone like two feet inside of a door for him in some room on campus, and a door would open, and he would go right to the microphone,” he added. “And then when he was done, he would step right out, no chance to shout anything, or they would pack the room with people. Just hundreds of people would suddenly show up, materialized between us and him. Or they found eventually that cord to plug somebody’s iPhone in and they would just blast music so that people could not get anything to him. And so a lot of it was stagecraft.”

“And we don’t think it’s going to be exactly like that for Trump because,” he concluded before pivoting to the 20 minutes he spent asking questions of President-elect Donald Trump last week while covering home for the press pool.
