LIVE: White House holds press briefing

Even if they were, no one has the right to hurt anyone. OHIO invited the people of Haiti to come to Springfield and work because the city of Springfield, Ohio, was collapsing.

You know the Boeing CEO could cut some of his 31 million salary and give it to the employees

[sweetypie]

She herself is Haitian American. This is a compliment, not an insult. 💙🇺🇲

[gloriafisher]

I was listening to her and boy oh boy she did Justice to all the questions asked of her even to the ones who were not focus or listening because she repeatedly said I will answer this again. 😂😂😂😂

[angelsindolly]

I really like her and the way she handles her job. You know that's got to get frustrating when people are being ignorant or making her repeat things over and over.

It is against the law to discriminate. There should be legal repercussions for spreading misinformation that is putting people in potential harm as a result.

This must be the most stressful Job In The World ! KJP is a Bright Star in Her own Right !

[kathrynmoll]

Articulate, polite and prepared! Complete answers and responses -- Ms. Karine sure is a shining presence at the podium.

[dlawrence]

Such a patient, professional, and polished communicator.

[arturoj.castro]

Don't know this young Lady, but proud to see her in her role. She represents US well. Thank you for serving.

[nellastarr]

I can't imagine the patience and calmness it takes to do this job!! It's soo hard to stay that leveled and calm with questions and reporters coming at you daily. She is remarkable at it and looks gorgeous doing it!!

[CalmbrezLLK]

The Haitians in Springfield are NOT illegal!

[JediSth]

We can dive into the history of Haitian Independence all you want. Not sure if you guys want that. It's not funny. At All.

[AntaresSelket]

Obviously, you don't have to be intelligent to be a reporter. That's apparent with the questions they ask over and over. I realize they often do this to try to get a different answer that they can twist and put in the news, but come on people! I'm really disappointed with the mainstream media and the way they choose to report misinformation, gossip, or choose to not report on some news worthy stories because it doesn't hold up their channels agenda. This is why I chose to hear more political briefings and do my own research. As an American, I'm tired of being misled by the news media. The news media has allowed Trump to get away with all of his nonsense.

[Linda-qtqk]

Yay I’m proud of our athletes. I love you my fellow Americans.

[maehead]

This young lady did a beautiful job 😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤

[vielstein]

USA can be happy to have people like her working in the White House. Perfect job.

[emacedo]

She is doing a great job of answering the questions.

[KernowekTim]

As an old Brit, I think that Mr and Mrs Biden and Mrs Harris will be as incredibly proud of working with this wonderful young lady, as ever they were with working with Jennifer Psaki.

[bbomber]

The one reporter asked the same stupid question three times. Jeanine got more patience than I 😮😂
