Results: White House Press Secretary inaccurately accuses a reporter of political bias

At the White House press briefing, Doocy asked Jean-Pierre about a recent ABC News poll showing that Americans have less confidence in President Joe Biden's health than ever before. Have you heard about the growing number of Americans that are not in favor of reelecting Joe Biden due to concerns over his age and health?

That poll found that only 28% of Americans believe Biden has the mental acuity necessary to be president and 28% of Americans believe Biden has the physical fitness required of presidents, two metrics that worsened compared to May 2023. The data suggests that Biden's re-election bid is an uphill climb. Do you think Biden is mentally and physically fit to serve a second term - which will end when he is 86?

At first, Jean-Pierre described the poll as "a little confusing" before attacking Doocy with an accusation of bias. "If you look at what this president has done the last three years, historical pieces of legislation — right? — and when it comes to a bipartisan infrastructure deal, many presidents before, like your favorite president, had said that —" she continued when Doocy interjected. Do you think it is professional of the White House Press Secretary to presume to know a reporter's political leanings (and declare such presumption during a press briefing)?

Unfortunately, Jean-Pierre danced around elaborating on why she made the accusation. She was clearly insinuating that former President Donald Trump is Doocy's "favorite president," but Doocy has never said that. Importantly, while the legacy media enjoys attacking Doocy as a shill working for an alleged right-wing news network, Doocy is not a registered voter in any political party, evidence that he takes serious his commitment to journalism. He was, on the other hand, a registered Democrat in college, according to Politico. Do you think it is wise of Doocy NOT to be a registered voter in any political party based on his career as a White House reporter?

Do you believe the Press Secretary owes Peter Doocy an apology for assuming and claiming to know his political leanings?
