The disruptive reporter who derailed Monday’s White House briefing capped his day with a bizarre interview on on Fox News: “The press secretary doesn’t need to like me, date me, marry me, have two black children with me,” he told Tucker Carlson.
Simon Ateba, a White House reporter for Today News Africa and regular thorn in the side of White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, parlayedin which he made a bizarre comment about having children with Jean-Pierre.
Ateba, who made repeated outbursts toward Jean-Pierre for not calling on him in what he claimed was “seven months,” argued that the First Amendment justified his anger. “The First Amendment says that I have the right to ask questions—to do my job,” he told Carlson, even though it certainly does not mean the White House press secretary must answer all reporters’ inquiries, or call on everyone in the briefing room, no matter how persistent they are.“The press secretary doesn’t need to like me, date me, marry me, have two black children with me. She doesn’t need all that,” Ateba said, much to Carlson’s amusement.
