The forum, titled “Notes from the Frying Pan to the Fire” took place at the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago. The IOP Speakers Series director and moderator Jennifer Steinhauer went straight for it in one of her first questions to Psaki.“We’re just going to do the Doocy,” Steinhauer quipped. “The country was sort of mesmerized by these weekly, or often more than that, sparring that you had with the Fox News reporter in the briefing room.
