Co-hosts of The Five ripped White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday after she twice told Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy to direct his questions about classified documents elsewhere.
Jean-Pierre has faced a litany of questions about President Joe Biden having classified documents at his home dating from his time as vice president and as a senator.
The show aired a clip of White House spokesman John Kirby stating on Wednesday that Biden “self-reported” the classified material when he realized he was in possession of it.
…“But we heard from this podium the other day that President Biden self-reported the materials,” he replied. “That’s not exactly what happened.”
“Who did you hear that from?” Jean-Pierre asked.
“John Kirby,” he answered.
“Well, I would refer to the White House counsel,” she said.
“So, John Kirby answers the question and she couldn’t,” Brian Kilmeade stated. He said Jean-Pierre not knowing what Kirby said in the briefing room shows she’s “so bad at her job.”
Kilmeade asked Jesse Watters for his reaction.
“I’m sorry, I’m gonna have to refer you to the White House counsel,” Watters joked. “You can only use the line in special moments. That can’t be your answer for every single question and that’s why Kirby’s quality, because Kirby has the wherewithal to be able to dance and move, dip appropriately, and talk like a human being. She can’t talk like a human being. She talks like a binder.”
