What the hell, Willis! Plenty of Democrats are speaking out. Raskins. Crockett. Whitehouse. Al Green. Jeffries. Booker.
It's our job to get them a majority in Congress in the midterms so they can effect real change. Not much you can do when you're in the minority in a democracy. Civics 101.
You have a lot of balls calling yourselves mainstream media. You're all just a bunch of bloggers and so called influencers. She's a journalist. Thats a job and ethic you don't understand.
i can remember back in the day that FAILING to ask such an obvious question would have been seen as journalistic malpractice. these days asking a simple and reasonable question is a noteworthy act of courage.
Could someone, anyone , please explain to me why it takes guts to talk back to trump? If this attitude of fear is pervasive we will get no where and the moron in the whitehouse will win. I am speaking to the young, this guy in the whitehouse is destroying your future are you going to let him do it?
Not making excuses but it's probably because it'll be the last question they'll ever get to ask.
Still. What a glorious press conference it would be if one after another, each correspondent talked back to Trump and called bs on each talking point. "Sir. That's a lie and you know it."
Agreed. Strength in numbers. Wish one of them would organize such a session. That in itself would be the news and would affect the news cycle for days on end.
Thanks for the outstanding her journalists pose.
As a guy I've wondered why no one will even question his stupid moves.
Congratulations to her. Where are the other wanbe journalist?
I feel fairly certain that this reporter and any other who asks a truly meaningful question will never see the inside of the White House again during the current administration.
Reporters have the same fears as Congressmen when dealing with Trump. They could, and most likely WILL lose their livelihoods!
While I agree with your sentiment, it's a lot easier for you or me to say to THEM "Go lose everything!"
Well if trump is going by the playbook they will lose their jobs anyway or end up reporting propaganda. They are journalist it is their job to seek the truth, barring that what good are they. Maintaining integrity and self respect is a challenge in any profession.
White House press pool immediately raises each reporters stature; many perks; closeness to P O W E R; national exposure; terrific resume bump; more fun at every party; and those are off the top of my head.

After the greatest generation, money, power, being promoted, and besting your neighbor became what people lived for. It was very important, well, these are the consequences.
I’m Mexican!
Apologize to Mexico! It’s RACIST and degrading to Mexicans and demeaning to their culture. You can’t name a football team after an Indian tribe to honor the tribes ferocity and fighting spirit; therefore you can’t use TACO in a demeaning way.
Not sure mocking him will fare well for Americans hoping he changes his mind on tariffs. I can see him doubling down on them now and that's going to hurt a lot of people. Was it really necessary to publicly challenge him and make fun of him?
And you're ok with tariffs getting worse because he's being mocked and will want to stand up to it? You realize he can make things so much more expensive, yes?
How the hell do u get that I'm OK w/ tariffs getting worse from what I said? Do u think anything we say matters the least little bit to him? What's he gonna do? Raise tariffs on us? He made a career of calling people names and now we're having fun giving him a bit of his own medicine. Go Brandon!
Hmmm, interesting how everyone mocks his juvenile, sh*tty behaviour and then turns around and behaves just like him....🤣 Maybe, it's no wonder we can't get a serious, responsible person to run for president on either side?
Fair point. But sometimes the only way you can make a point to unreasonable people is to hold up a mirror. Reasoning with them has proven to be a complete waste of time.
The difference is their jabs are made in anger. Ours are made in jest. Humor isn't part of their milieu.
Why are the only men standing up to Trump are women, and all those who were elected and claim to be the strong representative for their districts are nothing more than wussies.
Looking at the path that CNBC’s parent is on, I have to wonder how long before Megan Cassella is fired? Speaking real truth to power is intentionally being erased.

Same with Congress.
Same with the Senate.
Same with damn near every other group.

If they can do "Let's Go Brandon", we can damn sure do "TACO Trump". Goose, ganders and all that.

Whats the actual pt of having journalists question him about anything?
Id love to see real journalism, with real questions without fear or favor, so to speak.
