Right Wingers Erupt Over Jen Psaki's Interview With Fox News

By David Edwards — January 20, 2022

Fox News viewers reacted with anger to the network's interview with White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

The White House press secretary made an unusual appearance on Fox News Thursday for a 14-minute interview. Psaki took questions on voting rights, Russia and crime. The questions were respectful and tough.

But the network's viewers reacted by lashing out at Fox News hosts Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino.

"Dana Perino was basically kissing Jen Psaki's butt during her first FOX interview," one viewer wrote on Twitter. "I can't even muster up anything else worth mentioning, except Paski's answers were just as stupid as the ones she gives in her live press conferences."

"Both @BillHemmer and @DanaPerino are a disaster at asking questions," another viewer said. "The questions are more like statements which gave Psaki help on how to answer them. Perino is better at answering questions than asking them. Hammer [sic] is just plain lost."

Going soft: @DanaPerino talks big but let’s Psaki off the hook by not asking what voter 2020 suppression evidence she has. @greggutfeld @Gutfeldfox @JesseBWatters @BillHemmer

What kind of softball interview was that with Jen Psaki on @FoxNews with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino? Absolutely ridiculous funfest!

Bill Hemmer is so goddamn annoying. I can’t believe they saddled Dana Perino with him.

Both @BillHemmer and @DanaPerino are a disaster at asking questions. The questions are more like statements which gave Psaki help on how to answer them. Peri o is better at answering questions than asking them. Hammer is just plain lost. #FoxNews

Why would @FoxNews @DanaPerino @BillHemmer have lying Jen Psaki on their network to spread more misinformation about the concerns of the Biden administration? I thought I mistakenly hit the CNN channel.

Dana Perino asked Jen Psaki what about NY allowing noncitizens to vote when talking voter rights and Psaki was not pressed for an answer

Jen Psaki is on Fox News being interviewed by @DanaPerino and Dana is treating her like a rock star she's in awe of. It's disgusting. No tough questions whatsoever. Very much like treatment she would receive on MSNBC.
