Her response goes along very nicely with “Your speech is violence, our violence is speech.” Perhaps KJP really meant to say to Doocy (who’s a journalist for Fox News, not some tinfoil hat type), “Your truths are lies, our lies are truths.”

Exactly. "Your whole premise of the question is misinformation"
That is simply not a logical possibility. Is it a "gotcha" question? Absolutely. And it was expertly done.
But "gotcha" questions are not "misinformation". They are a part of how journalists hold public figures accountable. That's how journalists make public figures squirm. That's what journlists are supposed to do.
That's because she has no sense of humor. Everything for her has to be "serious".
My favorite anecdote (which I've shared multiple times) is when Sam Donaldson tried to pin Ronald Reagan down with a "gotcha" question on government budgets and responsibility. Donaldson prefaced the question by pointing out how Reagan had spoken of how Democrats were responsible for the profligate budgets that were a part of the economic crisis of the time, and then went for the kill by asking Reagan if he shared any of that responsibility.
Without missing a beat Reagan came back in that earnest Midwestern tone of his "Yes, because for many years I was a Democrat."
Even Sam Donaldson had to laugh. He knew he'd been bested.
Jean Pierre on her best day could never come up with even a little snark like that.

Doocy understands this. Jean Pierre does not.
After watching them spar at WH pressers for 3+ years, I think that Doocy is living rent free in KJP’s head. 😆
Trump certainly is
Absolutely. He’s been in their heads rent free for eight years!

With very few exceptions, the hardcore left is humorless. And they hate to be made fun of or mocked.
And yet they are self mocking most of the time.
Irony abounds.
