Watch: Reporter Tries To Catch New Press Sec. in Her Words, Instead He Gets Savaged for 60 Seconds Straight

Well, that didn’t go as planned.

Reuters reporter Jeff Mason, I suppose, has — as part of his job — the obligation to test any White House press secretary as a rule and any new press secretary as an especial rule. Whether or not this obligation was ever fully exercised under previous administrations, I don’t particularly know.

He’s been a White House correspondent since 2009 and served as vice president of the White House Correspondents Association from  2015 to 2017, but I don’t remember him asking pointed questions during his time in the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room at 1600 Pennsylvania until 2017 for reasons you can probably guess on your own.

Media-folk should do a little research about her. They apparently ASSume she's an airheaded pretty face. IRL, she has a JD and has worked in media for years with Mike Huckabee, Fox, and CNN. She's got smarts and knows the games MSM-folk play.

Apparently. She was definitely ready for that attempt, and had her ducks in a row. (Notes, too).
