White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre recently got into a heated spat with a reporter during a press briefing.  After answering a question regarding the controversy surrounding Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, the reporter attempted to speak out of turn, leading to Jean-Pierre lashing out at the individual.

As KJP tried to move on to another press member, she turned back to the man in question and stated, “It’s not funny. I know you wanna make..” before the reporter cut her off, “I’m just asking a question.”  KJP, visibly frustrated, maintained, “Wait a minute. hold on, hold on.”  The press secretary repeated to the reporter, “It’s not funny.”

As the two continued incoherently squabbling and cutting each other off, KJP said, “I’m answering. Let me answer….stop. it. Not everybody wants to hear the sound of your voice. Sir, give me a second. And I will tell you my answer. It’s not funny,” before moving on to the next question.

The reporter was evidently trying to further probe KJP on a comment she had previously made during the press conference. “You refer to yourself as a proud Haitian American. Do you take this personally when the community is a target of attack, as it is at the moment in springtime? ” the reporter initially asked the press secretary.

Jean-Pierre replied, indicating that she is upset anytime a “vulnerable community” is attacked.  “I take it personally when any community, any vulnerable community, is attacked, not just, not just a community that I belong to and proudly belong to, but any community, any vulnerable community, that is attacked wrongfully so in a hateful way.”

Subsequently, this drew into question whether there were any communities that would not fall into the category of “vulnerable” and whether KJP would be fine with those groups being attacked. The reporter attempted to follow up and ask KJP, “Are there any invulnerable communities?” However, this apparently set off the press secretary, who maintained his comment was not “funny.”

The American Tribune recently reported on comments from vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who defended the Trump campaign’s rhetoric toward the massive influx of Haitian migrants to the relatively small town of Springfield, Ohio.  Combating liberal claims that there is no evidence of migrants eating cats and dogs, as claimed by Trump, Vance noted he had heard firsthand accounts of such activity from his constituents.

“Well, I don’t think that … no one has spread false claims. What they’ve said is that a small migrant community, 20,000, so it’s big for the city of Springfield, but it’s small compared to all Haitians in the United States of America, that that small migrant community has caused a lot of problems,” Vance said.  “The city manager said there’s no verifiable evidence. A lot of residents on the ground have said that there is. That just means the city manager, I think, isn’t fully in touch with what’s going on the ground there. I’ve heard from many of my own constituents who’ve seen these things with their own eyes, who’ve seen these abductions with their own eyes, who’ve seen geese being taken out of local parts and slaughtered in front of their eyes.”
