Sounds like an arrogant man who got upset about not being able to control a room. If you can't handle the heat from a press corps, you shouldn't be a representative of the U.S Gov't.

Wake up. They're fascist white supremicists with a terrible superiority complex with zero justification for their belief.

Tell me you have no business being a diplomat without telling me you have no business being a diplomat.

Members of press get murdered in Gaza and other places. Members of press are actually doing their jobs in Lebanon. Major members of Media in USA did not care at all what TRUTH is in 2016. People in Benghazi died because Republicans in Congress refused to spend enough on embassy security.

Oh I’m sorry, I thought this was an apology from that other guy, Navarro, who referred to Lisa Cook as an animal. The disgusting racism and dehumanizing behavior from these people is horrendous.
