after she asked him to clarify Jared Kushner's statements about the national stockpilePresident Donald Trump berated reporters at a Friday evening briefing of the White House coronavirus task force for asking him to clarify confusing statements made by Jared Kushner, a White House advisor and his son-in-law, at a news conference the previous day.
CBS News' Weijia Jiang asked Trump to explain Kushner's apparent assertion that the Strategic National Stockpile, a national supply of pharmaceuticals and medical equipment reserved for a health crisis, was intended for the federal government but not for the states.
Kushner had said Thursday that "the notion of the federal stockpile was it's supposed to be our stockpile it's not supposed to be state stockpiles that they then use."
It was Kushner's assertion that the resource was "our stockpile" that caused confusion, as it seemed to imply that the stockpile was not meant for states to use, even though the program was in fact intended to supplement states' supplies during a health or biochemical crisis, as The Washington Post explained.

Anything from a female reporter that isn't a softball question is nasty in Drumpf's book.
