And then the leftoids show who they are.
Jen Psaki’s final day as White House press secretary was an unmitigated disaster.
In one fell swoop, with one simple question shouted from across the news briefing room, the Biden administration’s credibility on “racial equity” and “anti-racism” was utterly torn asunder.
As Psaki was finishing up her final day — thanking the administration and White House reporters while fighting back tears — Simon Ateba, the chief White House correspondent for Today News Africa, shouted one damning question from the back of the room.
Psaki is well-known for only answering questions from reporters sitting in the first two rows of the briefing room. Various establishment outlets — hand-selected by the White House Correspondents’ Association — are included on the White House press room seating chart.
...
“Why don’t you take questions from across the room?” Ateba asked on Friday. “Why don’t you take questions from across the room? Because that’s not what you’ve been able to do for the past 15 months.”
Psaki completely ignored Ateba.
Minutes later, he shouted again.
“Jen, can I ask you a question from the back?” Ateba said. “Jen, can I ask you a question from the back?”
Both Psaki and NPR’s Tamara Keith later urged Ateba to remain silent, according to the New York Post.
“Simon, if you can respect your colleagues and other media and reporters in here, that would be greatly appreciated,” Psaki said.
Strange, I thought this — a white woman silencing a black man — was considered an act of racist aggression?
Then again, I guess in the eyes of social justice warriors it’s OK as long as that black man doesn’t toe the Democratic Party line.
