White House shuts down reporter’s question on COVID origin

FOX: White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre snapped at reporters who raised questions about the origins of COVID-19 during Tuesday’s press briefing, which featured outgoing White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci

During questions after the White House coronavirus response team updated reporters on the administration’s vaccine efforts, Daily Caller White House correspondent Diana Glebova attempted to ask a question regarding what Fauci has done to investigate the origins of COVID-19. But Jean-Pierre shut Glebova down and rebuked her for speaking out of turn.

“We have a process here. I’m not calling out on people who yell. And you’re being … disrespectful to your colleagues, and you’re being disrespectful to our guest,” Jean-Pierre said. “I will not call on you if you yell, and also you’re taking time off the clock because Dr. Fauci has to leave in a couple of minutes.”

When Glebova objected, Jean-Pierre said she was “done” and was “not getting into a back-and-forth with you.”

Then Today News Africa journalist Simon Ateba spoke up and said her question was valid and should be asked. 

“You need to call people across the room. She has a valid question, she’s asked about the origin of COVID,” Ateba said. MORE

  1. Mickey Mauci is escaping to Epstein’s (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney, INC.’s) pedophile island to enjoy some “me-time,” before he gets hung on the National Mall during Trump’s 3rd term inauguration in a couple of years.

  2. Reporters must be fools to attend a White House press briefing over and over, day after day just to end up in the same, no-where. They could save time and money by sitting at their desk and just making up BS they think would please Biden and his clown followers.
