During a White House press briefing on Wednesday 24 January, Fox News’ Peter Doocy clashed with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about a joke that Biden had made on the campaign trail.
“Is election denying a joke now?” Doocy asked during the press briefing.
“What do you mean?” Jean-Pierre responded. “You have to say more than just make a random statement.”
Her quip was met with chuckles from reporters around the room.
