After ignoring a reporter for four months, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre snapped at them for daring to mention it.
John Kirby was speaking at the briefing to provide updates on Ukraine when reporter Jalil Afridi asked if he could ask two questions; "Mr. Kirby, I’m getting a chance after four months, so I hope I can ask just two questions.”
Kirby replied that it was up to Karine - who wasn’t happy to be called out publicly for having ignored Afridi for months. “After that statement, that leaves you with one question," Jean-Pieere fired back.
Afridi, who was caught off guard by the comment, began to ask “So, should I combine them…” - before Jean-Pierre cut him off.
"I think you’re wasting our time, sir. Can you please ask a question?"
