Jen Psaki slams Newsmax reporter for yelling questions after briefings end

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, Trump’s 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 don’t recall ever seeing this kind of behavior in the White House before 2016.

Anybody else recall this?

They take real news, run it through their propagandelizer, and out comes fertilizer that could turn Great Salt Lake into fertile, arable land overnight.

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.

Her Twitter feed is just nonstop conspiracy theories, anti-vaxxer disinformation, out-of-touch red-baiting from a Cold War era she's decades too young to remember; it just goes on and on with her. Who's paying for this crap?!

She's become oBseSseD with the bio-luminescent enzyme Luciferin, because satan.

What’s Luciferase?

What’s transfection?

What’s hydrogel?

What’s messenger RNA?

What’s a quantum dot tattoo?

You need to understand what they’ve done with these Fauci/Gates vaccines.

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...

...when it comes to Emerald Robinson's Twitter feed. The twisting of truth beyond all recognition shows her total contempt for her audience. The same can be said for NewsMax, of course.
