Psaki on 16-cent BBQ tweet being compared to gas price spike: 'If you don't like hot dogs you may not care'

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki pushed back on Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy's question about a pun-filled tweet from 1600 Pennsylvania Av celebrating a reported $0.16 drop in the cost of an Independence Day barbecue.

"Sixteen cents?" Doocy asked after noting the tweet. Psaki replied that there has "been a reduction in some of the costs of key components" of barbecuing. Doocy followed-up by asking whether such a discount is truly impactful given the more-than-$1-per-gallon rise in gas prices since Biden took office – as the administration has taken several steps to curtail America's energy production. "I would say, if you don’t like hot dogs, you may not care of the reduction of cost. You don’t have to like hot dogs," Psaki replied, adding that Biden's "Build Back Better Agenda" continues to produce its intended results.
