NEED TO KNOW
- Karine Jean-Pierre’s memoir isn’t the hottest thing in D.C.—her rumored romance with Fox’s Peter Doocy is.
- Reporters are less shocked by her book than her rumored “cross-network negotiations” after hours.
- Speculation grows that future White House briefings will feature more blushing than briefing.
From Press Room Sparring to Pillow Talk?
Washington’s chattiest rumor mill has found a new power couple: Karine Jean-Pierre, fresh off her Democratic defection, and Fox News’ Peter Doocy. What began as on-camera sparring now has D.C. insiders whispering about secret rendezvous behind the James S. Brady Briefing Room—where, reportedly, not all questions are for the record.
One anonymous producer claims they spotted Jean-Pierre and Doocy sharing a latte at a Georgetown café, laughing and swapping “notes” under the table. According to another source, their chemistry is “undeniable”—and not just because Doocy keeps asking the same questions twice.
The Book No One Saw Coming
Jean-Pierre’s new memoir, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines,” was announced just as the gossip hit fever pitch. Some insiders say the real revelations won’t be about Biden or briefing binders, but about how Fox and the former press secretary went from adversaries to affectionate allies.
As one White House reporter quipped, “It’s amazing what happens when you leave the party and join Peter’s.” Early drafts of the book reportedly included a chapter called, “Circling Back to Love.”
Reaction From Both Sides of the Aisle
Democrats are bewildered, Republicans are bemused, and cable news bookers are already pitching a reality show. Jean-Pierre’s pivot has even MSNBC’s Jen Psaki “circling back” in confusion, while Tucker Carlson (now reporting from a chicken coop in Moldova) called it “the most shocking political romance since Newt and Calista.”
When reached for comment, Jean-Pierre simply said, “Next question.” Doocy winked and asked if he could submit his follow-up “over dinner.”
The Briefing Room Will Never Be the Same
With new whispers about a possible joint podcast (“No Comment: Love Across the Podium”), it’s clear that Jean-Pierre and Doocy’s story is just beginning. Will her next memoir be a rom-com? Or is this just another D.C. fling? America waits with bated breath—and so does the White House press corps.
