On Thursday, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made an unusual appearance on Fox News for an interview, and Trump fans are not happy about it and took to Twitter to rage against the conservative network.
Psaki took questions for 14 minutes 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.
“What kind of softball interview was that with Jen Psaki on @FoxNews with Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino? Absolutely ridiculous funfest!” one viewer wrote.
“Dana Perino was basically kissing Jen Psaki’s butt during her first FOX interview,” another viewer ranted. “Both @BillHemmer and @DanaPerino are a disaster at asking questions,” another viewer ranted. “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.”
“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,” another viewer opined
Their angry reaction triggered an avalanche of mockery from other Twitter users.

Jen Psaki, first time on with @BillHemmer & @DanaPerino
Was anyone else disappointed in the “softball interview”? As a viewer, I was…🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸— BlessedInAmerica (@america_blessed) January 20, 2022
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

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.

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.

Why what would you have asked? What answers were you looking for?

More like Psaki had intelligent, fact-based answers that run counter to the bigoted internal narrative that's in your head, and you can't take it. 😀 😀 😀

You're just not use to hearing the truth on Fox!🙄

I’m sure you were, if that’s where you get your information from! Fox News is an Entertainment show ( as deemed from a judge) Maybe get an education, that may help a little bit

I would have to watch fox noise ever to know who the hosts are. They aren't a news station, their license is for entertainment only. They aren't entertaining at all.

You're just disappointed that neither Perino nor Hemmer could think of enough lies to spew.

No Psaki is the bomb!! She's so much better than those who oppose her for her ability to deliver concise accurate answers.

I can understand Fox News viewers being confused, because they're never exposed to what's going on in the real world. So their confusion when confronted with real facts is understandable.

Haha! Softball? You obviously have never watched the Fox interviews with the former guy.
— Mark Glenn (@mglenn1964) January 20, 2022
You're just not used to hearing an interviewee on Fox tell the truth, Nate.
Don't let it stress you. I'm sure Dinesh D'Souza or one of those COVID-denying doctors will be on soon and you'll be back in your comfort zone.

You're just pissed because all involved were civil and professional.
— David Warren (@dw98439) January 20, 2022
Sorry that you were so brutally exposed to the real world from what's supposed to be your safe space. Thoughts and prayers…
— Larry Larry, Commentary (@LarryEv28514632) January 20, 2022
To you, "tough questions" are those based on Republican talking points and conspiracy theories. Sorry you had to be exposed to the real world and someone who has the facts in front of them.
