I’m watching a short clip of a recent press briefing. I am going to need to learn the name of this press secretary without looking it up. Karoline Leavitt was answering the question of a reporter, she paused, and in a kind of theatrical voice, said “As you well know”. She then went on with her answer without a flicker.
I love it. Keep it up. Your answer was fine, but the best part was that little aside which should have slapped this character upside the head and said, “Grow up, go back to your desk, write a sincere and intelligent question, and come see me when you’re ready to go again.”
Unfortunately he probably didn’t even notice. Maybe some of the new voices in the press pool will start snickering at him and he will wise up.
