What would the reaction be like if at a White House press conference a journalist (or more than one) kept asking questions about which brand of makeup and girdle the president wears?

    They would get no response, would be removed for disrupting others, and their outlet banned and possibly investigated.

      Follow up question: why doesn’t this already happen with liberal news channels then and semi serious questions (as opposed to conservative soft balls)

    There’s only one way to find out. Are you asking because you’re in the position to do it? Go ahead, it will be epic

    They’d be ridiculed, then kicked out of the briefing pretty immediately, then their outlet would be banned, at least temporarily, from the White House Press Pool.

      And they would be shipped to the konzentrationslager.

    How is that a question any one of us can possibly answer? I dunno, he’d get annoyed and walk out?

        Part of the collective would be slightly amused while other parts would be mildly irritated.
