White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre slammed Fox News' Peter Doocy for suggesting her constant reference to Donald Trump as a 'threat' to Democracy was fueling violence.

Doocy asked her 'how many more assassination attempts' it would take before she picked a 'different word' to describe the former president - just days after a man with a firearm was spotted on Trump 's golf course.

The question came amid a press briefing on Tuesday , in which she called for the 'temperature' of political rhetoric to cool.
