[See NewsBusters for more.] Tuesday’s White House briefing devolved into journalists simply yelling at Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany. Many on Twitter tried to decipher a contentious exchange between McEnany and an annoyed, muttering Al Jazeera journalist. While that moment may have been unclear, Playboy reporter Brian Karem was quite obvious as he yelled at a departing McEnany. As she left the briefing, he lectured, “Why don’t you wear a mask?” Earlier, Kimberly Halkett of al Jazeera English went back and forth with the press secretary on election security. McEnany responded to an interruption by simply stating, “You asked me so I’m going to answer.... I know you don’t want to hear [my answers] which is why you talk over me.”
