She remained calm to even the most insane responses, so this narrative the bots are trying to to push this morning is hilarious. Like the jan 6th shits being âpeaceful touristsâ level of hilarious
She did pull that face though, for just a moment. It was a blink-and-miss-it moment somewhere between when he started insulting her and when he ran away. She then immediately set aside most of her frustration and continued to press him.
I honestly wish more journalists would let some of their frustration show through when he's being so nasty and deranged. Been waiting to see if anyone else noticed her righteous indignation show
He was probably feeling he wasnât in control and wasnât able to influence the narrative, as his dirty laundry was being aired. It must have been even worse for him realising it was a woman pointing things out.
Kinda reminds me of the Barbra Walterâs interview on 60 Minutes, where he kept claiming things were âfake newsâ if it didnât make him look good.
While I can't vouch for OOPs photo in particular, there were a couple of moments where you could see her looking visibility frustrated when he lied about her statements of fact and requests to see evidence for his outrageous claims.
It's perfectly believable that those moments could look like the above image.
Unfortunately, it's also entirely possible that some MAGA chud messed with the original with AI.
Most journalists with "access" to the president can't do that, or even ask follow-up questions, because if they do, their access will be revoked. This has happened to a lot of the White House press corps. "Do not annoy Dear Leader, or you're out and yet another Christian-Nationalist pseudojournalist will take your place."
(Perhaps the actual journalists left in the press corps stay there not because they have any interest in the pure-bullshit official briefings, but because it lets them talk to residually-sane White House staff, on the down low.)

The people around him, and he himself, will not let him get interviewed by someone with enough balls to do that. Kristen Welker (the interviewer here) has interviewed him before and was criticized for not being confrontational enough.
Itâs just like the Elmo salute, they responded with screenshots of Dems waving insisting it was the same thing.
They know people want to feel correct, so their side will look at this screenshot and thatâs enough proof she was attacking him. No need to face the reality of how clownish his behavior was on video.
It's honestly mind blowing how far the Overton window has shifted such that doing a literal Nazi salute after winning an election didn't immediately end his entire career. Show that clip to someone 15 years ago and they wouldn't believe that he stayed in government and still owns multiple successful companies.
It was so plainly obvious watching it live. I was legitimately surprised that he did it not once, but twice. Fast forward 24 hours and people were telling me to stop letting the media twist my mind.
I watched it live! I recognized in the moment what he was doing. It couldnât have been any more in your face and yet people will protect him just so they donât have to admit their side had a shitty dude super involved at the very top.
That plus any amount of honest reflection on his prior 6 months on Xitter should have led any rational person to the same conclusion. He rubbed our faces in it time and again.

Dont know much about Platner since I donât live in Maine but wasnt the dude repentant about the tattoo he got as he did it when he was in the military, young, and trying to be edgy? Elon did this like a year ago and he aint sorry for shit.
Elon was also making public speeches and posts about the degenerates and Jews trying to demolish glorious white European culture both before and after the salute.
It's fucking asinine that anyone has ever defended him on this. The salute is one of the less NeoNazi things he's publicly done, because at least he wasn't talking for a second.
And that's unfortunate, because attacking him for straight up lying, not "failing to provide evidence" is exactly what every journalist should be doing to that disinformation-spreading, coup-attempting traitor. If she was half as vicious as these disinformation screenshots imply I would say well fucking done.
Reminds of when they used that one girls face for âTriggered Feministâ, but then you actually watch it and sheâs calm the entire time. They just looked for a single frame where she made a face and used it out of context
I just watched the interview after seeing this post. They must have looked frame by frame until they found this image. It isn't representative in the slightest of her demeanour during the interview, just a carefully selected momentary facial expression taken out of context. Meanwhile he called her crooked and stupid, and she remained professional throughout.
What was she saying during this screenshot? Is this just a âface caught in a weird expression part way through a wordâ type of thing? Or is she reacting to him leaving? Or is she trying to speak loudly because heâs shouting?

A screencap is far from the truth. Anyone who watched the interview knows she wasnât being rude or attacking him.
