House Press Secretary Shuts Down Fox News Reporter

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre shut down Fox News’ Peter Doocy when he asked about Kamala Harris’ accent, a question she called “insane.” As Harris has been campaigning ahead of the 2024 election, some in conservative media have drawn attention to what they claim are different speaking voices. On Tuesday morning, Fox News aired a clip from a Detroit rally where Harris said “You better thank a union member,” asserting that isn’t her typical speaking voice. Then at Tuesday’s White House press briefing, Doocy asked “Since when does the vice president have what sounds like a Southern accent?” Jean-Pierre immediately shrugged off the question, saying “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
