Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy on Tuesday confronted White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on her past claims that the 2016 election was “stolen” after Democrats and President Joe Biden have tied election denial to “fascism.”

As the November midterm elections approach, Biden has used increasingly incendiary rhetoric against so-called “MAGA Republicans,” accusing GOP officials who followed former President Donald Trump and challenged the results of the 2020 presidential election of embracing “semi-fascism.

” In a highly controversial prime-time speech last Thursday, Biden denounced Trumpism as “extremism that threatens the very foundations of our Republic.”

In remarks on Friday, Biden attempted to clarify what he meant, saying that he was not referring to Trump voters, but rather the failure of certain politicians to condemn the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, or “failure to acknowledge when elections were won or lost.”

During Tuesday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre emphasized that Biden is not labeling GOP voters extremists, just the elected officials who represent their interests and beliefs.
