Fox News reporter asks White House who gets called after 8 p.m. if nuke is launched at US
[FoxNews] The White House was pressed Tuesday about whom the Pentagon would contact if a nuclear missile were fired toward the U.S. after 8 p.m., which is when President Biden has said he needs to call it a day.Last week, Biden told Democratic governors during a private meeting at the White House that he would stop scheduling events after 8 p.m. so he can get more sleep, according to a report by The New York Times. At a press briefing Tuesday, Fox News’ Peter Doocy pressed White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre about the president’s mental health and being at his sharpest before 8 p.m. "Well, he also says he’s sharpest before 8 p.m. So, say that the Pentagon at some point picks up an incoming nuke. It’s 11 p.m. Who do you call? The first lady?" Doocy asked. Jean-Pierre told Doocy the president has a team to let him know of any news that is "pertinent and important" to the American people. She also said Biden has someone he appointed to get the news from the National Security Council should that scenario ever happen. Who that person is, Jean-Pierre did not say. Former Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said when he was speaker there were many times he attended meetings in the Oval Office and the first lady was there. Posted by: Skidmark 2024-07-10 |
