Big Tech giant Twitter issued a spin of press secretary Jen Psaki’s White House press briefing on Monday, saying she corrected a Fox News reporter on his question about jobless oil and gas workers and “green” energy.

Shortly after the briefing occurred, Twitter created a “moment” in its trending section saying the reporter in question who dared press Psaki on the Biden administration’s promise to give jobless oil and gas workers green energy jobs was “corrected.”

In reality, Doocy asked Psaki during the press conference when oilfield workers who lost their jobs due to Biden’s recent anti-fossil fuel executive orders could expect to get the green jobs that the Biden administration promised would be available to them during the United States’ energy transition.

Psaki quickly snapped at Doocy for the question, encouraging him to “present your data of all the thousands and thousands of people who won’t be getting a green job.”

Doocy: "But there are people living paycheck to paycheck. There are now people out of jobs...It's been 12 days since Gina McCarthy and John Kerry were here. It's been 19 days since that EO, so what do those people who need money now -- when do they get their green jobs?" (2/2) pic.twitter.com/IlRp9iYKlY

In the end, Psaki never fully answered Doocy’s questions, instead choosing to cop out with another version of her “circle back” technique, which many conservatives on Twitter have mocked.
