White House Press Secretary Jean-Pierre harshly repremanded a female reporter for asking a question about the origins of COVID.
The reporter may have yelled the question out-of-turn and that’s what Jean-Pierre was upset about. I don’t know because the video doesn’t include that portion.
But another reporter near the back of the room came to this reporter’s defense and argued with Jean-Pierre, telling her that she needs to call on people from across the room and that the other reporter’s question was valid and she needs to allow it.
Watch:
This is what happens when only select questions are allowed in the breifing room. I remember when Kayleigh McEnany was White House Press Secretary and she did call on people across the room and never had this problem.
I don’t know the reporter’s name who got angry or which outlet he works for, but you can see his picture at the top.
