Reporter LAUNCHES VERBAL ASSAULT on KJP as 'Ted Lasso' cast joins press conference. READ:
The press briefing room is a"historic" place, where there should be decorum and where reporters present should"respect their colleagues and respect the guests that are here," according to Jean-Pierre."I understand that there's going to be give and take," she said Monday."That's the way the press briefing has gone for decades before, and I will always, always respect that.
"What has just occurred this last 10-15 minutes is unacceptable," she said."It is unacceptable. So we're either going to continue the briefing, or we can just end the briefing right here."Jean-Pierre's ultimatum was in response to being accused by Today News Africa reporter Simon Ateba of discrimination because she does not routinely call on him during her briefings.
Ateba has routinely disrupted Jean-Pierre's briefings with topics ranging from questions about the African continent to whether she is being replaced by National Security Council spokesman John Kirby.
