White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki could be heard audibly sighing on Monday after Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy complained that President Joe Biden called Kyle Rittenhouse a "white supremacist."

Doocy brought up the topic at the daily White House briefing.

"Why did President Biden suggest that Kyle Rittenhouse, on trial in Kenosha, is a white supremacist?" the Fox News correspondent wondered.

An audible sigh could be heard coming from Psaki's microphone. But she declined to address the Rittenhouse trial directly.

"What I can reiterate for you is the president's view that we shouldn't have -- broadly speaking -- vigilantes patrolling our communities with assault weapons," she explained. "We shouldn't have opportunists corrupting peaceful protests by rioting and burning down the communities they claim to represent."
