WATCH: Peter Doocy Makes Press Secretary’s Job a Living Hell
Doocy hit KJP with a doozy asking her why Russia go the better deal in this prisoner trade, to which KJP replied:
“Look, you know, I’ve talked about this, and I’ll say this again. Here were our choices. Our choices was: Brittney or no one at all. Bring home one American or no American at all. And that’s — that’s —”
Doocy came back with the perfect rebuttal:
“And they give up a professional athlete. We gave up a prolific arms dealer who was convicted of trying to kill Americans, who is called the ‘Merchant of Death.'”
And what was KJP’s reply? Well, she was an American citizen. So what? She broke the law by smuggling in drugs, and we captured a terrorist who tried to kill Americans. These two things are not the same.
DOOCY TO KJP: “In this prisoners swap, why did Russia get such a better deal?”

Then Doocy backs KPJ into a corner in asking about some of the drama between the Biden campaign and how they asked Twitter to censor their opponents leading up to the election.
DOOCY TO KJP: "You’ve said a few times, that you really can’t talk about communications between the Biden campaign and Twitter. Who is telling you that is off limits?"

“I’ve already had that conversation with you — with your colleague, I believe, yesterday. I’ve already addressed this multiple times this week, so I don’t have anything more to add.
Again, I — we’ve — we’ve litigated this all week. Don’t have anything to add.”
Guess what? She doesn’t answer the question. Why is that? Because she doesn’t have a good answer or isn’t supposed to say who is telling her that the subject is off limits because it wouldn’t look good. She purposely avoids answering the question and pretends to be upset about it so that she can move on to someone else. This is just a tactic that they use to avoid answering questions directly.
Do you remember back when Joe Biden promised to be the most transparent administration in history? How’s that working out so far?
