Jean-Pierre was discussing the Inflation Reduction Act when journalists interrupted to confirm the Queen's death. Queen Elizabeth, Britain's longest-reigning monarch and the nation's figurehead for seven decades, has died aged 96, Buckingham Palace said on Thursday. 'I don't want to get ahead of what the president is going to say. I want him to, for you all to hear from him first'

This woman is the worst press secretary
Ok
@@trying3841 OH, I Agree!!!
What are you talking about??? you are always ahead of the President 🤣😂🤣
I alone am authority. I alone am to be honored. I alone give dignity.
I think she handled that pretty darn well, considering that a bunch of people pretty much just blurted out "the queen is dead" and demanded an immediate reaction from her.
no meaning to push her to respond immediately
"I don't want to get ahead of what the president is going to say" is the perfect response.
These reporters were anticipating a slip up, a soundbite.
That was horrible 😞
Im pretty sure i would disagree with her politics but well handled. Respect.
@@tanyajane1975 What was horrible ,my gawd your command of the English language knows no bounds
From a person in the UK, well done. You were put on the spot in front of cameras and you held your ground with dignity and respect. I applaud you. Thank you.
Also from the UK. Those reporters need to grow up. Blurting out someone's death likes that is disrespectful. They wanted to force a reaction for their own benefit perhaps
I was very surprised at how quickly she ended the briefing.
Although English isn't my first language, I think its pretty better to use passed away instead of Dead, my condolences to the people of UK and the whole world...!!!.
Who cares about the queen? if i were that girl i would respond i don’t care. That queen is queen of Britain not USA or Russia.
@@Thawhid Exactly! That was horrible. They behaved like children blurting our statements like this. Terrible.
This was a masterclass in how to handle a press conference. Not only did she address but her tone completely changed and she showed nothing but grace and compassion. Well done.
A real 'masterclass' would have acknowledged that she was more than just Queen to the United Kingdom.
@@Dan-fp2nu she was just the Queen of the UK. No matter what you thought of her. This press secretary is from the US government. Monarchy is antithetical to American ideals. She paid the proper respect to QEII but wasn’t going to go on a soliloquy (nor should she especially when doesn’t have an official response from the WH). You were going to have to tune in to UK media for devotion.
@@mzmel1 You're wrong and missing the point. She was the queen of many nations, not just the UK.
@@Dan-fp2nu that’s not a compliment. She was the strictly symbolic head of state of a group of countries her family colonized most of have a strong movement to leave. That shouldn’t be celebrated the US gov or anyone else without a through discussion of racism and colonization. The press secretary did a lovely job and deserves all the kudos she received for this.
@@Dan-fp2nu be serious lol. she's not going to run down a list of sixteen countries in the immediate aftermath of being told she died. Could she have thrown in "to the commonwealth"? sure, I guess. But it's not her country frankly and tbh, it really doesn't matter.
Man, she wanted to go ahead with whatever she was talking about, but paused for a moment, and decided against it. The way she handled the news was, imo, very well done. What a legend.
@Ann-Marie Paliukenas nobody asked you tho
anyone's a legend these days...
@@kelzkd1835 nobody asked you, it was not impressive.
Legend? Dude stop
A legend 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Suuuuuuuuuuurrrrrreeeee, what a legend 😂😂😂😂😂😳😳😂😂😂😂
As a Brit, I applaud her professionalism in the way she composed herself and handled the arrogant and blatantly rude manner the press launched that on her. Thank you USA for your compassion and the delicate way this lady dealt with that news
Please know that, contrary to how our media behaves, we aren’t all as heartless as the people in that press corps.
The Queen was loved and respected in Germany too! Especially in the North and West of Germany, the parts British and Canadian troops liberated in 1945. The Queen gave her life to Britain. I think it is no wonder that the motto of the Prince of Wales is in German! "Ich Dien", which means "I serve". All the best to King Charles III and his family! Thw Queen is now reunitd with here beloved Phillip. May they rest in peace!
@@Cadfael007 Well said
She didn't know what to say because it wasn't a pre-written statement.
She can't answer or say anything that's not planned.
What video were you watching?
This is the most real and honest reaction this woman has ever had during her press conferences. Tough blast out from the ( in my opinion ) rude press, tossing that news at her like a grenade.
@@deetsitmeisterjd murican news guy be like: I SLAPPED THE QUEEN'S DEATH TO WHITE HOUSE'S SPOKESPERSON'S FACE
Aside from the "stronger and stronger" thanks to Johnson endangering of the GFA 🤔
I felt absolutely nothing from her.
All planned in advance so those in the know, knew this info beforehand her reaction was pure acting
@@stephenboyd4934 Garbage.
why did they all yell at her about it, what is she supposed to do about it
I don’t think they were yelling at her but more alerting her. They were all in a press conference together when the news came across for everyone at the same time. It’d be the same with any other historical event
As an English woman, well done to this lady, who was totally put on the spot...Shame some thought the best way to inform her was to blurt it out.....
Correct and she even when further to ask...has this been confirmed then?
You're not English, you're Irish. Stop fibbing!
This woman’s response was commendable.
That's very true.
Completely agree, respectful 👏 thank you
She was like…”so… why’s that a big deal?” In the first 10 sec 😆
@@Surf1100 She needed to know it was real..
@@Surf1100 I get the feeling that they had already discussed the Queen's poor state of health, so this might not have been totally out of the blue for her.
Her face when everyone started saying the queen was dead all at once. Pure panic for a split second, and then, calm and coordinated professionalism. Very impressive. She recovered quickly and handled the situation as best as she could, even though she was thrown off and probably very confused.
typical rubbish that we have come to expect from a certain quarter !
@@welshpete12 troll
She didn't seem to panic.
Yes, she firstly made sure the news was confirmed. She knew but it hadn’t been confirmed, so she did exactly the right thing.
@@Freespeech141 its very possible that she knew the queen was dead before the media since is part of the white house staff and well foreign goverments were obviously informed before the media
It just shows how influential she was on the global stage. She wasn't "The Queen of England" or "Queen Elizabeth", she was simply "The Queen". There are many monarchies around the world yet she was THE Queen.
Well yes, but she was also the only queen regnant during most of those years, apart from Margrethe of Denmark and Beatrix of the Netherlands. So using 'the queen' left little room for adressing the wrong one.
@@SimplymeSVEN18 yes, but when people refer to ‘the royal family’ or ‘the royals’ they’re always talking about the British monarchy too, even though those are technically very nonspecific terms
@@user-ed7et3pb4o Depends on where you are though. Other countries with a royal family would never refer to the Windsors as 'the royal family' as that term would be used for their own royale house. In general they use 'brittish royal family' around the world for that very reason.
and the Queen of England has been dead for 300 ish years ago so it isn't really news.
Colonialism effect
Much, much dignity here. Well done. To any British TH-cam users reading this, sincerest condolences. I have lived in the UK for four years and have very fond memories of your country. Her Majesty has felt like someone woven into the fabric of reality. It’s surreal to think that she’s passed.
I don't think it's necessarily necessary to give your condolences to us but thanks nevertheless
@@justemrys You’re very welcome!
Former Brit now living in the US here. Thank you, that was a nice thing to say. And I agree that Ms Jean-Pierre handled the whole thing with impressive dignity.
Wow she handled that really well! Literally in the middle of a sentence about something completely different then she took her time and thought out a calm and rational but respectful response to people shouting at her “the queen is dead!"
I mean, that's her job tho. If she would've gotten flabbergasted I think she should consider a career change. Gotta be confident and comfortable if you're in politics
Oh please… she handled this well because for once she wasn’t lying!
Tbf she should have started cheering.
@@dilberthigh troll
@@dilberthigh Really?!
Why??
(Go on, do tell??
Astonish everybody..🙏🇬🇧🌏💜
Her responses is perfectly fine. It was breaking news and she didn't have the chance to discuss it with the President.
Some people will just find a way to critique no matter what and no matter the circumstances.
Given the circumstance I think she handled it as best as can be considered, she was in a position where she needed to say something but didn't want to be standing on anyone else's toes.
I think the media's handling was dreadful though just shouting it out like that, it should have been dealt with a lot more decorum.
exactly
The president is dumb
Did you hear the old hag croaked… WHAT SAY YE???
The US president prolly already know even before the media received the reports.
She did an excellent job in keeping her calm and giving the subtle reaction. Proud of her.
Wow that room was like a bunch of kids wanting to be the one to tell their teacher the school drama. Pathetic. Well done to her for such a respectable response
I don’t know how she could have handled unexpected news any better.
"unexpected"?
She is reading a prepared answer from a piece of paper.
@@Keque and that's what she did, she gave her condolence what more should she have done
@@Keque okay?? so did this woman?
😂🤣👍🏼👍🏼
@@theblitz9 She is obviously not. Stop lying.
Reporters sounded like a bunch of children hoping to get a goofy soundbite. She handled that extremely well for thinking on the her feet. I assume she knew going into the briefing that the Queen was under supervision.
@MSMEG IV Can you make it any more obvious that you're a troll? Let the woman rest.
The way they all spoke at once was hilarious!!! They must of been planning that.
As a Brit, I commend you for the way you reacted when the news was blurted out to you and the words you said. Thank you
She did very well considering she was just put on the spot like that.
The reporters were rude as always, simply blurting it out to catch her off guard, awful.
I'd give her 99% for that performance.
I think you're right - the press were extremely inconsiderate to display such overt inconsiderate behaviour to a family who had just lost their mother, grandmother, and great grandmother.
An apology to those affected would be in order from those responsible I feel.
Of course, that could be anyone, so perhaps it should be public instead of private?
I certainly don't need it, but perhaps there were some that really could have done with that self centered behaviour being put to rights.
I understand everyone wanting everyone to automatically make a comment or statement regarding the death of Queen Elizabeth, but could they have at least done it in a less dramatic way? Her response was great and perfectly managed, not wanting to say anything before the President has even said anything, or say anything disrespectful to anyone, but in my opinion the press should not have immediately jumped to say the Queen had passed away.
That was very unfair to spring news in such a way and try and put her /him / unicorn, / fortunately this lady is very smart and dodged that granade like a real champion , reminds me of neo, in the Matrix just missing the bullets, real hero's dont wear capes,
@@waynewallace8761 Exactly! You could tell she was taken aback by the news and felt uncomfortable making a comment, but she handled it like a pro and was very respectful towards the news. I've never seen the Matrix films but I understand the reference that you made regarding dodging the bullets.
@@waynewallace8761 just use they if referring to people that you wouldnt know the gender of
I still can't believe Queen Liz is dead , we are witnessing death of someone who has lived for such a long time.
right, as if its news worthy hey?
Not the biggest fan of this woman’s boss, but the way she handled this was excellent.
"Of this womans boss"🎯🤣
wonder who that is...
I mean, it was a pretty standard and response, but I will say it was a fine response.
Hur dur not my president
Could be worse, trump could be in charge.
She was caught unprepared with a sudden headline yet she composed herself so well- displays true professional in the presence of media and journalists.
The fact that simply saying "the Queen" is instantly recognisable as being a reference to Queen Elizabeth II is a testimony to her legacy. There's no other head of state anywhere in the world that can be known implicitly from the title save for the Pope.
The West needs to come out of the mindset that western world is the entire world. Outside of Europe and North America, the rest of the world did not know much about her.
That young lady is an utterly professional person - and I think our late queen would be the first to applaude her on the way she handled it. What a shock for her, to have to make an impromptu response to such a story, and knowing you will be recorded for ever for what you will do and say. Two different British newsreaders last night were fighting to hold back their tears too. Thank you, all those people who have shown such respect.
The least professional and most disgraceful person to have ever held that position.
She's one of the worst people to ever hold this position. That said, she handled this well.
@@SilentSputnik oh shutup
@@usapanda7303 No way, serial liar Kayleigh McEnany was far and away the most disgraceful person ever to have held that position, except to racists who don't think a black woman should hold that position.
@@allip4226 You mean the liar who used fact based documentation, studies, and first-hand accounts from experts in the field of discussion when replying to "journalists"? You might be joking though, the second part of your comment about racists makes me feel like you are joking and not being serious😅😂 Because that is really a stretch to claim people are racist because KJP is unprofessional and a joke. I live in China now and there is a drinking game around her and Jen Psaki.
She was in the middle of saying something so of course that was what her brain was focused on. Of course she doesn’t want to say too much before the White House releases an official statement on the matter and the president has time to make a statement
I know she is a terrible press secretary, but in this case you are correct. She clearly didn't know and has to wait until Mr. Biden has prepared his statement hopefully he took his Aricept.
@@pedanpontif Wait until someone prepares Mr. Biden's statement for him since he can't remember who the Queen is*
@@pedanpontif No one asked you what you know, your opinion is just your opinion. To me, she is a great press secretary, Better than Lying Kayleigh, smug sanders, sean "the largest crowd lol" spicers and my favorite, The mooch.
@@jasono5178 Nobody asked for your opinion either. This is a public platform. Social media is meant to invite healthy discussion and debate. Not to make personal attacks. Although many people do. If you watch all her meetings, you will see how she has little answers and evades questions that she doesn't want to answer. Until then grow up.
That certainly out her on the spot.
Well handled.
I don’t really like how people just blurted it out like that. I feel like it was a little disrespectful.
Sounded initially like a car crash but she gathered her thoughts and saved the situation quite quickly.
I see what you did there..
😭😭
Rehearsed
@MSMEG IV o really
@@STR33TJESSUS and read from a piece of paper
It was very rude of the journalists in the room to shout that "the Queen has died". No matter how big you consider a news to be and no matter how big it indeed is, you cannot interrupt the person holding a press conference at which you are a guest and attempt to steer the conference, or hope or expect that it is steered, in another direction by shouting news at the holder of the conference. Even in the UK, I don't think people speaking have been given the news by being ambushed in this fashion.
I have no doubt that, within a minute of the shouting, someone would have anyway rushed in with a note on the matter.
thats what journalism is though, they all wanted to be the first to say it, get the story across etc
It was shouted out as the news was more important than whatever she was saying. In the UK the whole conference would have been cut off immediately what do you know about what happens here.
Actually the speaker would have been informed by some one sayings London bridge is down
They are actors on screen
Stop playing blind
@@blessonwilson4224 Nil point. It's operation unicorn as she was not in England.
To us she was our Queen to everyone else she was the Queen
R.I.P
From a Brit, thank you for the way you handled that ❤️
She responded to that impressively quickly, I thought.
What’s so great about that, any fool can do that. 😎😎
@@creatorlight4346 ok Mr CEO of foolishness
Poor woman didn't even have a chance to process it let alone prepare to speak about it. Kudos to her for trying to take it as it comes. Greatly appreciated from the UK
Wow, she handled herself with class, dignity and grace. She took a brief pause and formulated such a thoughtful response. Respect.
She did an amazing job the way she handled this situation 🙏🏽
Shame on those Journalists. She handled it very well! Respect!
Such a professional response. She handled the situation so well
@MSMEG IV Obviously not since you have to point it out in caps lock inthe youtube comments of a video announcing the queen's passing. Pathethic and immature.
@MSMEG IV even the queen is better than that flag or some shi
the bigotry of low expectations lol
That’s being put on the spot on a another level
this is a prime way to act when put on the spot.
why are people passing on so much judgement? It caught her off caught, relax.
Easy, her answers come from a binder. That should tell you a lot.
*off guard
When someone is caught off guard is when they show you who they really are...
@@jjohn713 but she was told at that moment, she didn’t even know the queen had died before she began the press conference
@@KingFireball7 Thank you - You are correct
The most professional answer ever on the spot after journalists shouting a breaking news. Congrats on a superb handling of an important issue just told at you live.
She handled that with dignity and grace. Shame on the reporters for so rudely interrupting her and announcing the Queen's death in such a callous manner. Disgusting behavior all around.
Cannot believe its been a year since the Queen's death
Great Britain gave a dignified announcement to all its people, citizens & politicians alike. This was a terribly rude way to announce the passing of the most famous & respected lady in the world. The speaker dealt with it the best she could but the reporters acted classless.
Most famous and most respected are both exaggerations .. to be perfectly honest not many outside of her country would ever make this claim nor really care she is dead even many from inside her country and I don’t say this with disrespect at all . It’s just a truth . I am curious though why you feel as tho she is the most respected woman in the world what has she done to gain this title ? Believe me when I tell you if Kim kardashian or some other famous celebrity or singer died the same day as her it would have got alot more attention than the queen . She was the queen of England not the world she wasn’t royal to the rest of the world to others she was just another woman just as her husband is just another man .
@@tbmpllc4001 Queen of the commonwealth* not just the UK. She was the ruler of 1/3rd of the population of earth. Easily the most famous woman, I’m not confident enough to say most respected but definitely the most famous.
@@tbmpllc4001 You should read or watch her biography on film. Elizabeth was an extraordinary woman. Respected all over the world.
@@benji5890 Not quite. She was Queen of 15 "Realms". 36 of the Commonwealth members are republics, and 5 have other monarchs.
@@benji5890 I honestly don’t care what she was the the so-called ruler of when you say famous this means someone who is a household name and easily recognizable . Fame is not through what you own or rule . There are many people who couldn’t tell you the name of the president of the us or Russia or china but these are amongst both the biggest and most powerful countries in the world . You say she ruled 1/3 of the population of the world I never heard this a day in my life that’s not to say it’s not true but it goes to prove my point this is not things that are widely known . If you ask a 1000 people in the us right now most would know nothing about her . I can guarantee Kim kardashian is more famous throughout the world then the queen her name is a household name and she has riled nothing but maybe the internet . Kim is just one example there are plenty more famous women actors singers and sports players who are way more famous then her . Have you ever seen someone paying thousands of dollars to go see the queen ? You can’t be famous if your not known .
This lady was genuinely moved - you can see the news sinking in and her internal reactions intensifying as she processes it. Her response was measured and classy, considering this was lobbed at her like a grenade.
Doubtful. She was just thinking what to say.
@@MarcoSpeaksNadsat Nonsense, she handled it great. On an unrelated topic, I think some racists don't like seeing a black press secretary do her job so beautifully!
@@allip4226 your comment has nothing to do with anything anyone here said
The news was not unexpected. I saw no emotional response. I saw a little panic because she didn't have a script and had to ad lib. That is what you saw sinking in. Lol
@@MarcoSpeaksNadsat Without a script yet. Poor rag top.
The way she carried out this sudden news was so smooth
I find it extremely rude to interrupt someone during a briefing. At least someone should have gone up stage and whispered it in to her instead.
This is from a Scotsman and ex-UK serviceman, in my opinion, White House Press Officer Karine Jean-Pierre DID NOTHING WRONG, SO GET OFF HER BACK. But I would question the behavior of some members of the White House Press Corp. as well as some of the comments here.
She handled it as best she could, you could see she was upset about the news, and as she said, it was for the President to make a statement on behalf of the US, not a White House Press Officer.
@D M Like all politicians
@D M do you think she writes the lies she’s told to spit out, she’s simply told to do it in a professional and organized manner like all people in her position, they have writers for almost any statement that is given
@D M it has nothing to do with her
She says what she is told to say
If you wanna be mad, be mad at the man running the country.
Regardless
This isn’t about her or him. This is about Queen Elizabeth and the immense impact her reign has had on the world.
@@Kingofthekop1 She is NOT a politician
@D M examples?
Jean-Pierre handled the moment in a very respectful and dignified way. May Queen Elizabeth Rest In Peace.
Jean pierre polneroff?
I love this! I read this caption and I had to see her getting updated by the reporters which is, I’ve come to realize, how she finds out about what is going on in our country. It’s her job to inform America but she is always so ill prepared that she ends up getting information from the reporters instead of the other way around. She is always scheduling a briefing and a reporter will say, “What does the president think about this or that and she gets all confused and is like, what? Is this true? Where did you hear that? Meanwhile, I’m sitting there thinking ,I EVEN KNEW THAT!!! How, judging by the definition of her job does she know less of the goings on then the general population and journalists. I know, this is breaking news so this may not be the best example but there are so many! My favorite one was when a reporter asked her how The White House felt about the fact that 20 States officially signed up in support of Texas and she was like - WHHHHAAT????? I’m watching this as it happens think holy smokes lady, this is literally yesterday’s news, you called a meeting to discuss this subject and you didn’t know that? She is a failure and an embarrassment!
The lady could so easily have bodged the job and for a moment I thought she was going to. But credit lies where it is due. Thank you, miss.
Journalists don’t even show any emotion saying that, “queen dead!!” Like do they have any human emotions?

Every press secretary’s nightmare.
This shows how rude some people in journalism are in their attempt to be the ‘first’ person to announce the news…no class at all
A very dignified response !
I’m really thankful to see that I’m not the only one who thought that our media folx were completely rude in how they blurted out this news. I’m also so proud of how she maintained her composure, and deferred any major commentary to the President. She was incredibly professional and, yet again, the American media is shown to be super unprofessional.
Now imagine if the press secretary had been a Trumper…
Seems you are saying facts, about the Trump that falsely acts, but to those who deem you incorrect, will likely comment you with disrespect.
Way out of line, reflection of the public though to be honest.
Kudos to her for handling the surprise announcement (even rudely thrown at her) professionally. If I were in her shoes, I might have screamed on the spot.
"The Queen is dead."
*"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!"*

@@cr41gieboyhow
She did very well there. Very professional. I don't think that situation could have been handled any better.
Such decorum to shout out “The Queen has died!”
americans for you 🤣
The old hag died of being older than the earth idk why we even bother reporting that she died, she lived a long life and that's it 🤷
I saw that too. Awful
You’re dealing with Americans. Lol. That sums it up.
As weird as it sounds, that's what actually happens. The Moment of death marks the official end of the Monarch's reign, and it automatically passes to the Heir who in this case became King Charles III at the moment of his mother's death. Tradtion would dictate that we shout "The Queen is dead, long live the King!".
The way those journalists conducted themselves was beyond disgusting and despicable.
Sounded like a bunch of children rushing to get the answer right for a candy reward.
A major world monarch has passed, learn how to conduct yourself! this is how they reacted while in the Whitehouse of all places.. geez.
The level of professionalism was way up to the tallest point of class. Well served and the composure of the moment. This is how such breaking news are meant to be properly delivered.
Wow, she is impressive, polite and calm!
Surely she should have had an earpiece to tell her so. Also, it was a bit rude of the reporters to shout it at her like that "The queen's dead" no excuse me or anything.
Impulsivity is common place in American culture
The press secretary doesn't normally wear an ear piece
@@dustin6804 Why not? Seems like it would be incredibly useful
That’s just how Canadians and Americans are. It’s not really rude here.

Maybe everyone should have waited for her to finish her original part of briefing first. That would have been the professional thing to do instead of blurting it out.
Another Brit here. You held utmost respect and dignity and were very calm and collected under pressure. Some very kind and integral words.
She handled that quite eloquently!
I do not like this administration or press secretary, but here she shows dignity and respect and I thank you for that. ❤️🇬🇧
Irrelevant news that could have waited until the end. Inflation measures in the US arguably affect more people in more specific ways.
As a British person I respect her professionalism if she was given more time she could have delivered a more human and heartfelt speach
I dont
Tough moment to navigate but she did that with class and dignity in all fairness
Such an intelligent woman over there, the way she navigated that "ambush", as it seemed.
It's proper to ask if it's been confirmed because in this day and age there are a lot of "news" agencies and gossip sites who would be more than o.k. to report she had passed just so they would be credited as the first site to break the news even if it were not true.
She weren’t expecting for some people to say the queens dead
She did well, very respectful.
Quick with the response and graceful at the same time. Salute!
Such professionalism from the speaker 💜
I’m from the uk well done for handling that so well, respect to you
I live in Russia in the Moscow region and I sincerely condole with the people of Great Britain. Her Majesty will always be a magnificent example of a strong-willed woman with excellent manners following her duty.
She handled it gracefully.
lol at all those reporters wanting to be the first to shout it out.
Rude, more like. 😡
Extremely inappropriate for civilized people to behave in that manner.
Quite revolting.
She handled that like a champ.
she must have been so shocked in that moment i couldn’t have thought of a response that quickly
Lol.
She is reading it from a piece of paper.
Didn't even have the decency to memorise it.
@@theblitz9 what are you on about? She’s not reading a script.
Thank you to all the condolences from throughout the world regarding the passing of our beloved Queen 🙏 Truly heartbroken 💔
Annoying how they yelled it at once. They were probably all the students who had their hands constantly raised in school.
Wow. She dealt with this SO well!!
The queen will always be in our hearts.
And our pockets
She’s a wonderful speaker. She responded to the news so well.
Wondeful speaker? She lies all the time and refuses to answer basic questions. Are you sick or just demented?
Even she seemed a bit taken back by it, I've been really surprised by the love from the US. Thank you all ❤
Imagine interrupting someone
Well that was rude to interrupt like they couldn't wait to say that
Handled superbly. Mr President should be very proud of her. Shame on the media however, absolutely disgraceful how they "informed" her.
Oh yeah, shame on the media for doing their jobs and insisting that people in power answer difficult questions about current events. Perhaps you'd like to live in Russia or China where the media is much more polite to the government.
Oh, he is proud of her alright. She expounds on his lies and deceet every day. She was awkward today. Hard for her to speak without a script. Obviously.
I love her voice. She handled this great as well
