Fox News' Chris Wallace 'annoyed' by backlash over his praise of Jen Psaki

Longtime Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace tells Marc Cox that he's, "a little annoyed, I'm not annoyed about you bringing it up, I'm annoyed at the pushback," from people who questioned his praise of White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.

"This has nothing to do with the policies that they're [WH Press Secretaries] defending, and the President that they're defending and explaining. It has to do with the way a person does their job," said Wallace, who was once part of the White House press corps.

"Sean Spicer came out, the first day of the Trump Presidency and took apart the press, defending an absolute lie, which was the idea that Donald Trump's crowd at the inauguration was bigger than Barack Obama's. First of all, its stupid, who cares. Secondly, it was a lie. It wasn't true. Anybody who was there and saw the pictures, knew that Barack Obama's crowd was bigger," said the longtime conservative, "Sean Spicer lost all his credibility that day, and you know, as a result ended up as a laughingstock on Saturday Night Live."

Wallace continued, "you can say what you want about Joe Biden's policies, and lord knows, I've been plenty critical of a lot of his policies. Jen Psaki is a political professional who has handled herself well."
