CNN’s Jake Tapper defended Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy on Monday night, the same day President Joe Biden called Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch.”“I don’t think any president should be calling any journalist a dumb son of a bitch, and to be fair to Peter Doocy, the question was fairly anodyne,” Tapper told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who was reveling in the insult and laughed about it during the opening monologue on his long-running ABC program.
