Hat tip to Kelly O"Donnell of NBC

[senseandsensibility]

She was asking Karinne Jean Pierre a question about Biden during today's news conference, when another reporter chimed in "if he's still awake." Without missing a beat O"Donnell said "that's inappropriate."

She's not a favorite of mine, but that was great.

1. That actually indicates what the press is like

that they feel so comfortable to say that like that.

And I don't give any credit, praise, points to O'Donnell. That's low standards for doing something that should be expected.

[senseandsensibility]

2. To me indicates both

That some of the press (and this particular member was some from some far right outlet) is out of control, and that Kelly O'Donnell in this instance was appropriately dismissive of that faction.

8. I don't consider the right-wing whatever that loudmouth was with "press."

3. She seems to be making an effort these days

I will give her another chance when I want the mushy middle take.

4. What's really inappropriate is Trump having sex with 14-year-old girls, and the press not asking about it.

22. Ask who?

MFer doesn't talk to the MSM, only hand-selected RWNJs.

[sop]

38. Maybe a "journalist" at the White House press briefing could ask Jean Pierre if the President had any reaction

to the recent release of documents in which Trump raped 14-year-old girls? Maybe quote one of the more scandalous passages from the document and ask if the DOJ plans to open an investigation now? You know, like the many questions they've asked about Hunter's trial, his computer and the dick pics.

Or their networks, newspapers and websites could discuss the effect allegations of raping young girls will have on Trump's campaign, much like they've been relentlessly opining about Biden stepping down for merely appearing tired at a debate. There's a lot they could ask and say, it doesn't have to be a one-on-one interview with the Rapist himself.

35. sources? Were I a journalist- where I would go, and who I would speak to

to 'cover' this story?

5. He should have been escorted out, lose his permit and be vetted for his local news station.

[Trueblue1968]

24. Who WAS the asswipe who disrespected president biden ????

[Deuxcents]

25. His name is James Rosen from Newsmax.

He was fired from FOX and how he got vetted for this position needs to be revisited. There is a video of this news conference and the exchange here, on the DU under videos.

[Trueblue1968]

31. I think The White House should remove him. Site national security as the reason.

Those kind of evil POS comments could increase some evil MAGA actions against President Biden.

[Different Drummer]

33. It figures it'd be someone from NewsMax.

[a kennedy]

6. Not a fan either, but that was a very professional response to the creep.

[HoosierDebbie]

37. Kelly O'Connell

is the current president of the White House Correspondents' Association.

[babylonsister]

7. Anyone know who the reporter was? Very douchey. nt

[senseandsensibility]

9. I forgot

Sorry.

[senseandsensibility]

11. Okay, apparently it was James Rozen of Newsmax?

That's according to the comments in Rupar's twitter feed, so take it for what it's worth.

[VeryProgressive]

21. NewsMax

Why the fuck is that propaganda organization allowed in the WH briefing room? Why? Jesus, Democratic administrations should banish Newsmax, Fox, OWN, the NYT, and WP. Period. Start playing hardball. No more access.

[onecaliberal]

23. This should happen today. I don't know why they have access.

[GoCubsGo]

34. He's got a lot of fucking nerve, considering his own Dear Leader

kept falling asleep during his criminal trial.

[blogslug]

12. James Rosen

Used to work for Fox but he got pushed out for being a sexual harasser. Now he works for Newsmax.

[blue neen]

15. That figures.

He's a jerk, and not just a one-time jerk.

[themaguffin]

16. James Rosen at Propagandamax, oh I mean "news"max

[Deuxcents]

26. James Rosen from Newsmax

[Trueblue1968]

32. Biden WH get rid of him. If f a dem had done that to tRump, they would have removed him immediately

[Cha]

10. Wow good on her! Do you

Know who the reporter is?

[senseandsensibility]

13. See above

That's the best I could find. But it sounds like Newsmax.

[Cha]

17. TY Totally ignoring when

Fascist felon slept. 🤮

[senseandsensibility]

20. Good point

Why am I not surprised?

[MustLoveBeagles]

14. Good for her

[VeryProgressive]

18. Remove them

If this is true, that reporter should be kicked out of the press room and never allowed to return.

[Bev54]

19. I was surprised by that as well, she is such a fence sitter normally

[tableturner]

27. She was quite dynamic during the White House Correspondents' Dinner! Surprised me...

[MontanaMama]

28. Good to see a Biden surrogate punching back.

This needs to continue all day every day until we win the election. Fuck the MSM.

[ImNotGod]

29. President Biden must not let GOP propaganda so called news reporters anywhere near press conferences. nt

[Harker]

30. One might think that 8+ years of Trumpsky bleating ,"fake news" and holding the press

out for ridicule, they might be more equitable in their treatment of President Biden.

Instead, they lick the hand that smites them.

[spanone]

36. Tells me there are some real assholes in the whitehouse press pool
