CNN’s Brooke Baldwin Angered at White House Briefing Delay: ‘You Cannot Avoid Us’

CNN host Brooke Baldwin appeared visibly angry during her show on Tuesday after the White House press briefing was delayed multiple times, saying that the White House "cannot avoid" the media.

"A memo to the White House: you cannot avoid us; stop trying to dodge us," Baldwin said to the camera. "This briefing needs to begin. It was supposed to begin an hour and fifteen minutes ago, and then it was supposed to begin twenty-five minutes ago. There's a lot to talk about and we need to see [White House press secretary] Sarah Sanders behind that podium."

Baldwin went on to say that it is "entirely fair" to "be tough" on the White House because there were many questions that needed to be answered before it held the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor awards ceremony later in the hour.

CNN senior White House correspondent Jeff Zeleny echoed that there were too many questions that the White House needed to answer in the limited time allotted for the briefing. He noted that it had been exactly one week since the last White House press briefing and said that the White House has delayed its press briefings repeatedly.

"Gloria, what's this about?" Baldwin asked CNN chief political analyst Gloria Borger.

Borger also said many questions needed to be answered and it is clear White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders did not want to answer them.

"Maybe there's a possibility that they're actually going to say something about guns, for example," Borger said. "Maybe the president having spoken with people like Sen. [John] Cornyn [R., Texas], etc. over the weekend that maybe actually the White House is going to say, ‘Look, this is where we want to go on background checks or bump stocks,' and maybe that would be one thing you could consider."

"I think that it behooves the White House to stand there and answer these questions and not have an abbreviated 10-minute session," Borger added.

I do not understand why CNN bothers going to the White House. CNN makes up their own stories anyway.

Pretty sure the press has more than enough time to ask questions and get answers as this administration is very transparent and open. Remember Hillary penning up the media?

The problem is with the media, they ask the SAME stupid inconsequential irrelevant questions over and over - they need to look in a mirror.

Sounds just like the teenagers demanding more gun laws.... Baldwin and Zeleny seem to think that impulsive, unthinking, rash explanations will give those reporters the "facts" they want....they shall be known as the "knee jerks for brains" reporters...heavy on the jerks...........

When they get an answer five more will ask the same question like it answer will change to what they want to hear idiots cling just give them some bananas.

I didn’t go there, but he was always late because they needed time for the visene to work and to get his nose powdered if you know what I mean.

“”that maybe actually the White House is going to say, ‘Look, this is where we want to go on background checks or bump stocks,’ and maybe that would be one thing you could consider.””

Gloria - what a dolt. This is what (perhaps/maybe) the WH is going to say... I wonder why they don’t listen to you, Gloria.

Start holding the briefing outside, in the grass, and only Sarah gets any cover
