Her lack of professionalism and joking around is astounding.

Ww3 begins.... The world ends.
KJP- I want to be clear. At this time, I can not say anything yet. We are still looking at all the information. As you know, I have been very upfront and honest, there's just no way I can answer that question.

[laurieo]

Exactly what President is having this meeting?

How does an official spokesperson have no comment related to the American president Netanyahu?

[thebalderthor]

Are we not going to talk about how she’s sexist?

[vinnyshaughnessy]

I don't believe there are informed about anything

[Thewhippedhippie]

Why do the reporters use this lady for their wages? She needs to charge. They should be out getting the real story. Dependent reporters.

[Gtafiverr]

Anybody that looks down when you talk with them is a liar

[DOWNUNDER.]

[Thewhippedhippie]

[Thewhippedhippie]

[davidcalvin]

[stevengibbs]

Lebanon has the right to defend itself

[Notnecessarilyliberal]

When anyone’s says there’s no such thing as a dumb question, play this for them. Umm of course it was stupid. Just like the US response to 9/11.

[CactusThorn]

How can she not have an opinion? What a fluff brain.
