They have regular lunches. They meet and talk regularly. Why would you call it awkward? Jean-Pierre said.So theres no weirdness about the way things have unfolded? Doocy pressed, desperately trying to dredge up some conflict between Biden and Harris.Did you see them together yesterday as well when they honored our veterans and were together during the day making sure that we didnt forget the brave men and women that fought for this country? Jean-Pierre responded, referring to Biden and Harris trip to Arlington National Cemetery on Monday for Veterans Day.The president and vice president had lunch today, she concluded. Theyve had lunch many times. They communicate with each other regularly. THey had an opportunity to discuss the last 70 days or so of this administration, how important it is to get things done for the American people, and thats their focus.

(@ChidiNwatu) November 12, 2024 This is embarrassing even for Doocy. Geoff (@GeoffBrown82) November 12, 2024Doocy is a paid antagonist. There was zero journalism in that exchange Denison Barb (@DenisonBarbs) November 12, 2024 Doocy trying to milk the last fleeting moments of being able to ask ridiculous, unfounded questions to a democratic White House before Trump takes over and he becomes completely irrelevant. Jared Ryan Sears (@JaredRyanSears) November 12, 2024KJP: Good morning. I will be taking no questions from Peter Doocy.Does anyone have any legitimate question? Critical Bill76 (@CriticalBill76) November 12, 2024 Fox news doing Fox "news"things again.On a serious note, why is Peter Doocy even allowed in the White House Press briefing room? Jrgen ..

Machine Pun Kelly (@KellyScaletta) November 13, 2024Truth and sanity keep at arms length from Doocy Dexter Wright (@Dexter__Wright) November 12, 2024 they should revoke Doocys badge. There is no real journalism going on in this exchange. He just sits there and finds something to complain about every week. He can complain from outside. Ashlee (@tweetwithashlee) November 12, 2024what a weird thing to ask Angelica Reed (@Angelica_Reed1) November 12, 2024 The amount of restraint KJP has to remain professional when dealing with stupidity is insane. She is iron. I am going to miss having her as WH Press Secretary. https://t.co/gahTDFmuFP Amy Panikowski (@AmyPanikowski) November 13, 2024How do other reporters in the room not laugh out loud at this nonsense? Brad Ross (@BradRossComms) November 12, 2024 Doocys gonna be Press Sec isnt he? https://t.co/1KrEU0qFYG Devin Nunes cow (@DevinCow) November 13, 2024I fear Doocy will have the last laugh when he becomes yet another Fox-News-to-White-House pick for the next administration, maybe as press secretary https://t.co/Xrc7URPKv2 Stuart Elliott (@stuartenyt) November 13, 2024 Can we just spend the rest of this administration ignoring him? https://t.co/vyxFrxHdf3 Zachary Pleat (@zpleat) November 12, 2024There are so many, many things about our era that get under my skin, but at the top of the list has to be how normalized this type of immature buffoonery has become. To think we have four more years (at least!) of this nonsense it's hard for me to wrap my mind around. https://t.co/RIAV4VF4lD Jennifer Erin Valent (@JenniferEValent) November 13, 2024BTW, kudos to @PressSec . She's done what is unthinkable in a Trump 'drama' administration served in this high-profile, demanding role for years. She's done a great job and should be applauded. https://t.co/F58kykYqhV A.J.
