Fox News fired back at White House press secretary Jen Psaki Friday after she attacked the cable news giant, suggesting higher-ups fed White House correspondent Peter Doocy questions that “might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.”

“In his role as White House correspondent, Peter Doocy’s job is to elicit truth from power for the American public,” a spokesperson for the top-rated network told The Post. “His questions are his own, he is a terrific reporter and we are extremely proud of his work.”

Psaki — who is reportedly weeks away from leaving the White House for a gig with Fox rival MSNBC — made the comment Thursday while recording an episode of “Pod Save America,” which is hosted by ex-Obama White House aides Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor.

At one point, Psaki was asked by one of the hosts whether Doocy is a “stupid son of a bitch or does he play a stupid son of a bitch on TV,” as the live audience whooped and cheered.

“OK, um, well,” Psaki began before pausing.

“He works for a network that provides people with questions that — nothing personal to any individual, including Peter Doocy — but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.” the press secretary eventually answered.
