White House correspondent April Ryan threw a mini-tantrum when Sarah Sanders would not answer a question she yelled out during a press briefing.
The American Urban Radio Networks reporter interrupted Sanders after she called on another reporter to ask a question during Wednesday’s press briefing.
Ryan fired off a question about “voter suppression” event though the White House press secretary had not called on her. Ryan continued to ask her question even after Sanders repeatedly called on someone else, ignoring Ryan’s interruption.
“Is voter suppression included with that, please? I’m just asking you a question because you choose not to call on me. Is voter suppression part of that election process that the president is trying to look for?” Ryan called out.
“John, go ahead,” Sanders said, ignoring her.
“Oh, you’re not going to answer that,” Ryan huffed. ”That’s alright, fine.”
“If I call on you, I’ll be happy to answer your question,” Sanders said.
Legit question either she won’t or can’t answer!!!

Ryan even sparred with Twitter users who believed she needed to wait her turn to be called on rather than call out questions.
Self-important Ryan vehemently disagreed:
Let me school you right now. You don’t wait. I was here with presidents when we called out. You must be brand new and want her to call on those who are biased and not real journalists. You would prefer state run media. That is not what I do! Now you know the rest of the story! https://t.co/jX6DMkYbDs

Ryan was eventually called on and was able to ask her pressing question.

“You did not mention voter suppression in that. Voter suppression has been an issue for decades,” she said. “Is voter suppression now on the table?”
“We want to do everything within our power to protect the integrity of our elections,” Sanders replied, “and we’re going to look at that on a number of fronts.”
Many Patriots believe Sanders deserves an award for putting up rude journalists, Ryan in particular.
