White House spokesman Sean Spicer on Tuesday asked a reporter to stop shaking her head in disagreement as he answered questions about what the Trump administration is doing to reach out to people who don’t agree with the White House.
April Ryan with American Urban Radio Networks asked how the White House is dealing with a range of issues, including allegations that Trump colluded with Russia to win the election.
But Spicer dismissed the idea that the Russia is a major problem for the administration.
“At some point, April, you’re going to have to take ‘no’ for an answer with respect to whether or not there was collusion,” he said.
She then asked what the White House is doing to deal with the perception that this scandal exists, and Spicer charged that she was “hellbent” on pushing that image out there.
As he was explaining that President Trump is trying to work with his political opponents, he admonished her to stop shaking her head.
“I’m sorry, please stop shaking your head again,” he said as he answered.
