President Barack Obama publicly scolded CBS News' Major Garrett during a gathering of the press corps at the White House on Wednesday, chastising the reporter for asking if the president is "content" to celebrate the Iran nuclear deal while four American hostages remain in Iran.
"That's nonsense. And you should know better," Obama replied.
I watched much of this press conference, and enjoyed how determined the President was to answer every question posed by the reporters in the room. The guy was clearly having the time of his life answering questions about the new deal with Iran.
However when Garrett stood up and asked this insulting and disrespectful question I thought it might anger the President so much that he would end the press conference.
Instead he gave his answer, though clearly with some irritation, and went right back to taking any and all questions from the pool of reporters.
I have to say that if I were the one standing there taking questions from this sleazy tabloid masquerading as a legitimate news outlet, I would probably seriously consider revoking their White House press credentials.
President Obama smacks Major Garrett of Fox News down over "nonsense" question.
