Peter Doocy's 'off the top rope' question for KJP did NOT seem to please some WH journos

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre brought her Big Book of Talking Points to another briefing today, and Peter Doocy had a question for Biden's spox about recent emergency responses and the president's vacation schedule:

And as you can see, the question not only probably annoyed Jean-Pierre, but it appears a couple of other White House reporters were a bit put off as well:

Doocy: "It seems like the hurricane response so far is robust. Did you guys realize that the initial Hawaiian wildfire was not that good or is it just easier for people to get help from the WH when [Biden] is not on vacation."

Another totally objective WH journo seemed bothered by Doocy's line of questioning:

And, as someone in the comments pointed out, WSJ's Annie Linskey also didn't look happy Peter asked that.

Doocy actually challenges the administration, and his apparent sin is that these people have a "D" after their names and that's not supposed to happen in modern "journalism."
