White House Press Secretary
The White House press office is seeking to toughen rules for obtaining a “hard pass,” Confider has learned—a change that could affect notorious gadflies like Simon Ateba.
“The press secretary doesn’t need to like me, date me, marry me, have two Black children with me,” Simon Ateba told Tucker Carlson, after complaining about not being called on.
Simon Ateba, who has gained notoriety during the Biden administration for his outbursts, was back at it on Monday.
“It’s completely inappropriate. It’s ugly,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said of Rep. James Comer’s comments.
O’Keefe repeatedly pressed the White House flack on why the Biden documents were not disclosed sooner—initiating a tense back-and-forth.
“No, Joe, what are you doing?!” host Trevor Noah said in disbelief.
Not everyone was moved by the speech, however, as a Newsmax reporter shouted to the actor: “Were you grandstanding just now, sir?”
