The White House press briefing got off to a rocky start on March 20 when a reporter interrupted to complain he was being discriminated against.
Just seconds after White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and the cast of Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” entered the briefing room, Today News Africa founder and chief White House correspondent Simon Ateba shouted as Jean-Pierre scolded him, repeatedly saying “no” and “we’re not doing this.” Ateba accused Jean-Pierre of discrimination.
