Wonder if we'll see this snippet on ANY left wing media?

[danielfrihauf]

Took his binky and went back to his playpen.

[gordonw]

This is the state of our government ! Don't let people talk just shut them up so their questions and points get ignored ! This reporter was probably waiting patiently and just had enough of their arrogant disregard for his job !!!

[mothermayhem]

Just like KJP does . Can't handle being asked real questions without a script.

[miriammaldonado]

I'm so happy Deleon was able to finish his outstanding statement.

[kristinlanders]

Why is he being so rude to this journalist? He could have at the very least said you may ask your question next. Instead he made it clear he wasn't going to get to ask at all!

[DallyWinston]

An A-rab official from the state department? WOW

[cardo]

Democrats - do what i say or my feeling will be hurt

[carriethompson]

Its typical of this administration. Sad!

[karimmunis]

My question is why those reporter keep on attending such a stupid meeting

[SouthernAppalachian.]

The other reporters didn't miss anything all they do is lie anyway

[joeyv]

And this crap will continue, , they don’t want to answer real questions

[jasonsturos]

We'll be reading about this crap happening in history books one day. Sad future.

[ranman]

He’s been a reporter for 25 years, , and because he wouldn’t shut up and wait his turn the interview is over, , , but he’s been a reporter for 25 years

[HarperSkylark]

They hate when people tell them the truth instead of sugarcoating their questions and kissing their snotty privileged arses. I wish all the reporters would stop trying walk on eggshells around these pathetic waterboys for Empire and stop letting them waste everyone's time with their rambling nonsense.

[eperez]

I think he handled the situation perfectly.
He didn't yell at the guy and explained that not everyone gets to ask a question.
Getting louder obviously doesn't work.

[tinygod]

Reporter, not everyone get's a question.
Fake Reporter / Friend, please go ahead.
