Peter Doocy Shreds Another One Of Biden’s Ill-Prepared Spox-Liars

National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby proved yet again that he doesn’t have the stomach for the position as journalists demolished his unprepared cowardice on the podium at this week’s press briefing.

Kirby was getting hammered taking complaints and questions about the White House’s weak stance on protests in China. At the last minute, Fox News’s Peter Doocy came in with the kill, asking about Biden’s refusal to drill for oil domestically. It was totally worth watching Kirby sweat and scramble.

The Chinese communist government forced their citizen back into lockdown over their zero-Covid policies and it clearly violated their human rights. Naturally, Chinese citizens have taken to protest while the government seeks to silence their voices.

But it was CBS’s Ed O’Keefe who provided some bite by standing up for the protests, which made sense seeing as how competitors ABC is owned by Disney (with business in China) and NBC having a correspondent still in China.

O’Keefe poked holes in this esoteric statement of support: “In that realm, the statement you issued — or that was issued earlier today didn’t include any explicit calls for China to stop detaining and harming protesters and journalists. Why not?”

Kirby didn’t go any further other than to add “we’re going to watch this closely, and we’ll see where things go.”

AFP’s Sebastian Smith brought up an important question as to whether this has received any additional priority from the President: “Could you give us a sense of how much the President is engaging with this issue? Is he watching it personally, you know, getting updated more than on, maybe, some other things?”

Kirby scoffed at that, insisting Biden’s “staying briefed on what’s going on inside China” before joking “I’ve never been in the room where he wasn’t, like, closely briefed.”

Coming from the left, Yahoo! News’s Alexander Nazaryan argued people “assume that the United States supports peaceful protest around the world” and such a take isn’t “a novel position.”

Given the stakes, Nazarayan wondered, why hasn’t the administration gone further “to…assert the rights of people, advocating for freedom and democracy more forcefully than perhaps we have.”

Kirby cowardly sought to not anger the communist thugs and replied the U.S. has reemphasized in this moment it’s ongoing belief in “free assembly and…peaceful protest” and that this is an issue “for the Chinese people and the Chinese government to speak to.”

Doocy stepped in to change up topics for a moment and hammered Kirby for Biden’s refusal to drill for domestic oil bringing up the lifting of regulations in Venezuela to start drilling.

Doocy snapped,”does the President think there’s some benefit to the climate to drill oil in Venezuela and not here?”

Watch

Kirby struggled to defend Biden saying, “No, it has nothing to do with a benefit to the climate, Peter. Again, there are 9,000 unused permits here in the United States on federal land that oil and gas companies can and should take advantage of. Nine thousand and we’re talking about one there in Venezuela. Now, look, it remains to be seen how much will get drilled down there. It’ll be up to Chevron to decide that, Peter. But — but as a function of the sanction itself, that oil, whatever product is drilled, has to come to the United States.”
