Yesterday President Biden had his first press conference, and Fox News’ Peter Doocy was there but was never called on to asked a question.
During today’s briefing, Jen Psaki took a question from Doocy and it all helped demonstrate why he was avoided at yesterday’s Biden presser:

OOF! And now we know why Doocy wasn’t given the time of day yesterday.
“The president said he thinks the filibuster is a legacy of the Jim Crow era, did he think that… when he defended the filibuster…?” asks @pdoocy

LAST YEAR Democrats used the filibuster 250 times.
They abused it. They wrecked the process.

Excellent question. No wonder Biden didn’t call on him. https://t.co/nBfxKTkl3s
