Psaki Tries to Laugh Off Question from Fox's Doocy, He Doesn't Let Her Get Away with It

Western Journal  . . . " About those guidelines, Doocy wasn’t in the mood for deflections. He pressed Psaki about why those guidelines are being ignored for the country’s embattled school children — many of whom have now spent a full calendar year isolated at home.
