“I don’t like bullies,” he told the network. “I’ve been tired of being bullied.”
Karem said that he did not appreciate being called “an enemy of the people” as a member of the media.
“I respect what the White House does,” he made sure to add.
It’s no secret that the national news media and the administration have a strained relationship. During Tuesday’s exchange, Karem informed Sanders that the White House press pool was “only trying to do their job:”
Wow. This entire exchange at the WH briefing. Must watch. https://t.co/ZxEEe6e31P
