White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre thanked Peter Doocy this weekend after the Fox News reporter accidentally flubbed a popular GOP talking point about President Joe Biden’s age, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Doocy, who was also in Hanoi and reporting live from the press conference for Fox News, was asked about his press conference expectations before the 80-year-old president took the stage.
“What can be expected from this?” Fox and Friends reporter Will Cain asked Doocy. “Is it a Q and A? A set of statements from a short statement here?”
Doocy then accidentally admitted that President Biden was “working all through the night” and therefore “probably pretty tired” as he took to the podium to address the press pool.
Doocy’s response marked a surprising departure from the recent Fox News and GOP talking points that primarily focus on Biden’s old age and lack of mental acuity.
“As many questions as he wants to take,” Doocy told Cain. “He has been basically working all through the night. The equivalent of an all-nighter, Eastern time.”
“So, he’s probably pretty tired, jet-lagged,” the Fox News reporter added. “But he should take at least a few.”
Journalist Aaron Rupar tweeted the surprising exchange between Cain and Doocy on X, and Jean-Pierre also chimed in regarding Doocy’s honest response.
“You can see the exact moment when Peter Doocy realizes he just demolished one of his own network’s talking points,” Rupar wrote alongside the clip of Doocy on Fox and Friends.
“Thank You, Peter,” Jean-Pierre added after retweeting the clip.
