White House press secretary Jennifer Psaki has apparently had enough of Newsmax White House correspondent Emerald Robinson's tendency to continue shouting additional questions after White House press briefings have concluded.
On Monday afternoon, near the conclusion of the daily White House briefing which has become a "circus" of late, according to one veteran White House reporter Psaki doubled down on the administration's criticism of the "horrific" behavior of some U.S. Border Patrol agents in their handling of Haitian migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.
"I don't think anyone could look at those photos and think that was appropriate action or behavior or something that should be accepted within our administration. There's an investigation. That's ongoing. We'll let that play out," the press secretary said. "But our reaction to the photos has not changed."
That was the end of the briefing except apparently not for Robinson, the accredited corresponded for far-right cable news channel Newsmax.

Childish showboat. Righties often mistake shouting and acting like an ass with being tough.

that when it was time for the press to leave, Trumps staffers would scream at them to leave as they were herded out of the room.
This did not seem normal or professional to me, and I dont recall ever seeing this kind of behavior in the White House before 2016.
Anybody else recall this?

(18,624 posts)I imagine Em's hand gets tired waving so she can ask if Joe Biden enjoys beating his dogs. Emerald doesn't even have a Wikipedia page, so how much of a network reporter is she?
Other media Psaki skips over during a typical press con:
Grit
The Hooterville Gazette
WKRP in Cincinnati
The QAnon Quarterly Query
The Jew Swine Weekly Post.

Dear Christians: why is the Department of Homeland Security filing patents for FUSION PROTEINS CONTAINING LUCIFERASE? (link to a patent filed during DJT's term)

Dear Christians: if you want to avoid taking the Mark of the Beast I would suggest that you start by avoiding anything that injects LUCIFERASE into your body.

FACT CHECK: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/04/23/fact-check-coronavirus-vaccines-do-not-contain-luciferase-enzymes/7260660002/
...Some of those lean on conspiracy theories for support, including a March 25 claim linking the Moderna vaccine and the devil.
The Facebook post claims the "luciferase" enzyme is part of the Moderna vaccine and that recipients now have a "barcode or imprint or pattern to I.D. you."
Other posts about the luciferase enzyme being in the coronavirus vaccine, including this one from Instagram, link the vaccine to the devil since the term resembles the name Lucifer.
The posts are wrong on both fronts. The enzyme is not in the vaccine, and it has nothing to do with Satan...
