These press briefings are a complete waste of time. The Press Secretary never directly answers a question and the contempt she displays toward the journalists is outrageous.

[SteveWood_Commando_at_large]

She needs to be called out for never answering a question and always referring the reporters elsewhere.

[bobbysmith]

She should be working at McDonalds. That's the main problem here.

[howardp]

It would be easier just for her to disclose what information she has. Press conference woul be less than 10 seconds. She is such an embarrassment.

[silviamc]

Why does she even bother to have a press release? She knows

[SarahAnn]

Her smile says it all. She couldn’t care less about freedom of press.

[triggerfish]

KJP does not have the human attribute of shame...nor do many in this wack job administration...🙏✌️♥️🇺🇸

[justdoingitjim]

That smug look of, "I've got the control and power over you and there's nothing you can do about it!"

[robertcrist]

It's nice too see someone in there grow a pair for once.

[coreydee-el-oh]

Perfect representation of this administration. No accountability, no transparency, no truth. I hope and pray that we get trump back in office. I can't understand why anyone would still support this joke of an administration

[gregoryschleitwiler]

If I was a the WH press journalist I would start a boycott of the meetings with this absolute joke of a Secretary. She never answers questions of any substance and always refers to some other entity. Just put a cardboard cut-out of her behind the podium and have a recording of her babbling her ridiculous responses.

[sherrymorris]

Karin’s has to be horribly humiliated at the deeply ludicrous position she holds! She avoids the physical mirror and the emotional mirror the spiritual mirror and the psychological mirror. I dread her life for her when the job ends.

[rich]

Does she ever answer a question? Every time I see her at press briefings, she’s always answering with “that is a question for...” or “we have been clear”.

[acruz]

The second reporter is absolutely right AND SHAME ON ALL THE OTHER REPORTERS FOR NOT YIELDING THIER TURN TO HIM, they just sat there like complicit idiots, pathetic.

[davepenniman]

What a great reporter keep up the hard work

[TheFrogfeeder]

Lol reporters fighting to hear her say “I’m just not gonna comment on that from here”…

[stephaniegoodman]

She has such a Smug and "we/I can get by with anything, , , I want to...attitude!!

Answer the damn questions! That's her JOB! DON'T REFER REPORTERS TO OTHER DEPARTMENTS...
ITS YOUR DAMN JOB TO KNOW AND ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTIONS!

[jodymatthews]

What gets me is, all the "free press" around him. It's like they are not in the room. They are sitting there as if nothing is being said. That is who we get our information from? They don't even stick up for each other. Disgusting display

[richardsiciliano]

Good for him. It's not her job to ignore those who aren't part of her tribe.

[diegoubarte]

imagine someone under Trump's administration doing media would have had a terrible meltdown
