Jen Psaki Gets Upset that Boris Johnson Didn’t Make the W.H. Aware He Was Going to Take Questions

‘He called on individuals from his press corps without alerting us to that intention in advance’

TRANSCRIPT:

REPORTER: "— what transpired in the Oval Office yesterday when we were all in there trying to hear from the President and the Prime Minister."

PSAKI: "Which aspect?"

REPORTER: "Well, the British Prime Minister in the American Oval Office called on British reporters, and then when American reporters tried to call the American President, we were escorted out, to put it that way."

PSAKI: "Well, I think in that circumstance, and I think our relationship with the United Kingdom and with Prime Minister Johnson is so strong and abiding. We will be able to move forward beyond this, but he called on individuals from his press corps without alerting us to that intention in advance. Go ahead."
