Pence ended his latest briefing by claiming "the risk of the coronavirus to the average American remains low," then walked off w/o answering @BrianKarem's question about "can the uninsured get tested?!"

"Screaming for the camera isn't gonna get you anywhere," an official scolded

That "official" was Katie Miller, Stephen's wife. She later came back in the briefing room and continued to scold the reporter.

1. stephen miller

What can you expect from someone who would marry Stephen Miller?

[Caliman73]

2. They won't answer a legitimate question...

They are wholly focused on fighting this as media or political battle not a public health issue. Why refuse to answer the question? Either "yes", "no", or if you want to dodge, "we're working on it".

[MFGsunny]

3. STFU, Katie Miller. You're too stupid to get it when it's NOT Miller time. n/t

4. Where does she come off scolding anyone?

Of course having to sleep with that little weasel must take it's toll.

18. She chose to sleep with and marry him. I imagine she's just like him...

and loving every minute of the cruelty and dickishness of this administration.

[Woodycall]

27. And the cruelty IS the point with them...

I love that observation by Adam Serwer of The Atlantic.

5. Stupid reporter....asking a question they didn't want to answer.

[Lindsay]

6. How dare a journalist

question a member of the Trump administration?

[NoMoreRepugs]

7. Work together? Reconcile? Bi-partisanship?

Not going to happen till everyone of current voting age is dead and gone and our young grandchildren have taken over.

I will now go and adjust my tinfoil hat.

[Pobeka]

8. That's a campaign ad for the general now.

[SMC22307]

14. Agree. Use their own words and actions against them. (n/t)

[Liberal In Texas]

9. And the thing is...

IT'S A GREAT QUESTION!

What are they doing to make sure people that need to get tested!

[nature-lover]

17. You are right. That question needs an answer!

[sakabatou]

10. OFFS...

[Leghorn21]

11. nope nope nope nope nope nope nope

We don't by and large pay much attention to people who sleep with Stephen Miller because

you know, people get just a l i t t l e-b i t-o f-p o w e r and they lose their wicked little minds over it, have we all not seen this phenomenon all our lives? YEP. You ain't all that, miss.

well, you enjoy lording it over a free press while you can, lady, cuz this shit won't stand a whole lot longer goddamit

13. Katie's a nasty one, just like her hubby. Match made in hell. (n/t)

[dewsgirl]

15. Is she the big mouth that yells at them when briefings are

over? I used to think that was Stephanie Grisham.
I have adored Brian Karen for years, he is awesome.

[oasis]

16. Yes. "Screaming" does get you somewhere. Don't like it, then

start answering reasonable questions.

[Niagara]

19. A valid question

The journalist gets reprimanded for asking a valid question by a member of the republiKKKan WH. Disgusting.

[frazzled]

20. Sheesh, don't they get it?

This isn’t about handouts to the disadvantaged. It’s about keeping everyone safe and containing the virus.

Failing to test those who can’t pay means everyone else is at risk.

PS: Where I live, testing is available through the Illinois Department of Public Health laboratory, and has thus far been free. Of course, one must meet criteria for testing.

[Frasier Balzov]

21. They're newlyweds?

[lunatica]

30. They got married in February at the Trump Hotel

23. A match made in hell. n/t

[Haggis for Breakfast]

24. Nobody asked HER shit.

Who the hell does she think she is lecturing reporters for doing their jobs ?

STFU, weaselbitch, no one was speaking to you.

[IronLionZion]

25. She's been pretty vile in her own right, long before meeting Stephen

and has risen quickly through the ranks as a Trump and Pence loyalist

[yonder]

26. Just think of the kids....

....that I hope they will not have. Don't need any more nazis running around, big or little.

28. This Katie Hill is a un-American pos.

[Crunchy Frog]

29. Mrs Nosferatu.

You can still catch it from an untested, uninsured person.
