Karine Jean-Pierre scolds African reporter for 'unacceptable' behavior in White House briefing room
Simon Ateba, a journalist for Today News Africa, interrupted the proceedings by loudly complaining that Ms. Jean-Pierre does not call on certain reporters, including him, and seemed to choose reporters based on the content of their questions.
“This is the White House press briefing room, a historic room, a room that should have decorum, a room where folks should respect their colleagues and respect the guests that are here,” Ms. Jean-Pierre said. Mr. Ateba frequently calls out to try and get questions in, causing exasperation in the briefing room.“This is not China, this not Russia, this is the United States,” Mr. Ateba said.
