The White House press corps’ cynical cries for ‘decorum’
The White House Correspondents Association sent an email to its members Monday begging them to practice "decorum" during White House press briefings. The email was sent in response to an incident earlier in the day when Simon Ateba, a correspondent for Today News Africa, accused White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre of "making a mockery" of the First Amendment by refusing to call on him at briefings for seven months. In a bizarre clip, Jean-Pierre stands at the podium dismissing Ateba, while the White House press corps hiss "decorum!" at him.
