So when he does that, is he shouting and swearing about Netanyahu or about Hamas or about his poll numbers?\u2019 Doocy asked Sullivan on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018This is the \u2018when did you stop beating your spouse\u2019 question because I don\u2019t think he ever did that,\u2019 Sullivan responded.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Excuse me?\u2019 Doocy interjected, before Sullivan continued.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Well you use that as the premise of your question, which is when he does that. He \u2013 I\u2019ve never seen him do that shout or swear in response to that. So from my perspective, that particular report is not correct,\u2019 Sullivan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Doocy had asked Sullivan about why Biden has allowed 32 days to pass between phone calls with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018First of all, our teams are in contact every single day at every level. President Biden gets a daily \u2013 twice daily, sometimes nine times daily \u2013 update on what is going on. And he reserves his calls for the prime minister for when he believes there\u2019s a clear, key strategic moment that needs to come forward,\u2019 Sullivan said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Point two, the prime minister, of course, knows how to reach President Biden. If the Prime Minister felt he needed the president for some reason, he would have picked up the phone and called. And of course, in the last 32 days, President Biden has never declined a phone call from Prime Minister Netanyahu,\u2019 he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan\u00a0likened a journalist asking about a report that President Biden had grown angry and swore over tanking poll numbers to a \u2018when did you stop beating your spouse question.\u2019\u00a0 Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy confronted Sullivan during the White House\u2019s daily press briefing about a report published by NBC <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":17145,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17144","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-politics"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shareperformanceinsight.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
