Watch Jen Psaki Stop Peter Doocy in His Tracks After He Tries to Dunk Biden, ‘I Think I Just Addressed It, Peter!’

We really aren’t sure how Peter Doocy gets out of bed in the morning. When one’s life is defined by how quickly one can get under another person’s skin, all in order to entertain 72-year-old white men sitting in recliners eating Fritos and drinking Michelob Ultra, it would seem difficult to find much validation.

But Doocy must see asking inane questions and pissing Jen Psaki off as “validation.” Sometimes we swear that his father (who clearly had nothing to do with Doocy getting hired) is occasionally embarrassed.

Today was “We caught Joe Biden without a mask on” Day, which means it’s just another weekday for Peter Doocy, who believes that if Joe going five minutes without a mask is one of the defining issues of our time.

The Bidens had a date over the weekend and went out to dinner at some tony restaurant in the tony Georgetown neighborhood and left without a tony mask. Stop the press, says Doocy:

“There is a mask requirement inside D.C. restaurants, yet President Joe Biden and the first lady were not wearing masks. Why?”

*(Because Joe knew you would ask about it on Monday morning and felt like serving Jen up some raw meat because she already keeps a jar of pickle juice on her desk with your ball… since she already owns you).

Jen tossed Doocy aside as she normally does:

“I think what you’re referring to it is a photo of them walking out of a restaurant, masks in hand, where they had not yet put them back on yet.

“Of course, there are moments when we all don’t put masks back on as quickly as we should, but I don’t think we should lose the forest through the trees here in that our objective here is to get more people vaccinated.

See?? Jen knew exactly what Peter would ask about before Peter heard about it – likely.

She then went hard at Doocy’s gotcha game with a: ““moments in time that don’t reflect overarching policy” line that was pitch-perfect.

Doocy never knows he’s beaten:

It was not just exiting the restaurant, though. He was walking through the restaurant with no mask on. There is a carve-out for people under two or people who are actively or drinking, so I’m just curious why the president was doing this.”

Jen, however, does know when Peter is beaten:

“I think I just addressed it.” (Translation: Peter, STFU. You caught him without a mask for five minutes, are you going to press charges or what?)
