Watch as White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre holds Wednesday briefing
Watch as Karine Jean-Pierre, the White House press secretary, holds Wednesday’s daily briefing.
Earlier this week, a disruptive journalist accused Ms Jean-Pierre of ignoring him, as he explained his reasoning for derailing the press briefing and berating her on Monday in front of the cast of Ted Lasso.
Simon Ateba, a correspondent for Today News Africa, claims he had been waiting for seven months to ask a question.
“In the past seven months, I’ve done all the right things. I’ve not been called on, I’ve gone to her office to seek a meeting,” Mr Ateba said during an interview with Tucker Carlson.
“I’m Black, I’m African, I don’t have money, they look down on me. I don’t have the opportunities they have. And they don’t treat me the same way. I need to do my job,” he added.
