Disruptive reporter derails White House briefing with Ted Lasso cast: Karine Jean-Pierre tears into correspondent for interrupting her and press corps starts shouting in front of Jason Sudeikis and co-stars Jason Sudeikis and co-stars were in the White House to discuss mental health
Today News Africa's Simon Ateba then started berating Karine Jean-Pierre He started shouting at her for not asking him a question in seven months
The White House press briefing with the Ted Lasso cast descended into chaos on Monday before it even began when a disruptive reporter berated Karine Jean-Pierre for not taking questions from him.
Jason Sudeikis was set to discuss mental health with the co-stars from the award-winning show when Today News Africa correspondent Simon Ateba started shouting at President Biden's press secretary.
'You're making a mockery of the First Amendment ... It's been seven months and you have not called on me,' he said to the press secretary while the cast looked on in bemusement.
'You've been discriminating against me and discrimination against some people in the briefing,' he shouted while other members of the press and Sudeikis – along with the stars of the AppleTV+ show – looked on.
'This is not China, this is not Russia,' he added as reporters then interjected and told him they were fed up with his conduct. Jean-Pierre has frequently admonished Ateba in the past, but this time journalists in the room demanded he quiet himself so that the day's event – the only on-record interaction with senior White House officials – could begin.
'You are impinging on everybody in here who's only trying to do their job,' reporter Brian Karem said and another correspondent said: 'The rest of us are here too, pal'.

We need more African correspondants.
And got a first-hand demonstration of the problem
Karine, either quit in tears or face the upcoming turmoil across the USA. Two enormous numbers of Americans are squaring off.
This is pure racism from the White House and the terminally stupid blow-hard Karine Jean-Pierre. This African reporter is a guest here in America. And the White House/ KJP treats him like excrement.
LOL!
He asks tough questions.
“His name shall not be spoken.”
The White House briefings are a dog and pony show with rare exceptions the reporters are lapdogs. He and Peter Doucey are the exceptions. Those two are real reporters.
Pete seemed to be enjoying this.
The black, lesbian, immigrant thinks she is superior. This isn’t the first time they butted heads.
Ateba has told the mop head in the past that she does not answer questions and that she does not seem a good fit for the job.
Hysterical!
And what job would that be, exactly, you CNN hack toad?
Doing the work that lazy/worthless Americans won’t do…
Can someone decode this gibberish for me. Who, what, where, when, why, how hard is this?
Dontcha just love how the sycophants turn on the one with questions and defend the white house.
Africans despise African Americans. They don’t understand their total lack of interest in being educated. They think it’s absurd to claim education as “going white”. There’s a lot more than that though.
"Hi. My name is Jason..."
Most of White House reporters job seems to be propagandist for the Biden Administration. They could accurately be named the knee pad press.
The reporter from Africa is different from the knee pad press. He actually wants to ask serious questions but Karine won’t allow this to happen.
Africans can smell dung from miles across the Seregeti or across the briefing room.
Yep, that’s exactly how my friends from Nigeria think.
