Have we ever seen or heard WH people yelling at the press to leave after a spray before?

I have never witnessed such behavior in all my years of watching presidents.

After dotard decides he is done the aides yell okay, that's enough, time to leave and all sorts of things.

Is this normal and we have never watched before or is it just dotards way?

But it has gotten worse. A reason they yell is to keep Trump from hearing the questions, and to keep the questions from capture by the cameras. Disgusting.

even during Reagan's time they never yelled like that.

They used to get him near the helicopter and fire up the thing for noise but never yelled

...and never before have I seen seen reporters screamed at and herded out of press sprays like we're witnessing now.

Never.

Ever.

14. Yeah...because the WH shows so much respect for the media.

"Fake news", "Crap reporters", yada yada yada…

"The White House" doesn't know the meaning of the word "respect". (cue Aretha)

It still annoys me with the manner they use in sheepherding the media from the Oval Office. Who's doing the screaming and shouting there? "ALL RIGHT...EVERYBODY OUT..EVERYBODY OUT. WE'RE DONE HERE...EVERYBODY OUT. GET GOING."

It's so rude and disrespectful to hear this caterwauling at the end of gatherings when they're trying to get the press to leave. Never saw anything like this with a previous president. I always wonder what tRump's guest(s) are thinking when they hear this screeching. Horrid!
