White House Press Secretary Ends Briefing Amid Clash with African Reporter

Karine Jean-Pierre walks out after Simon Ateba accuses the White House of discrimination during a briefing on Angolan President's visit.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre abruptly ended a press briefing after being pressed by Simon Ateba, a reporter from Today News Africa.
Ateba accused the White House of discrimination for not taking a question from an African journalist during a briefing that discussed the visit of Angolan President João Manuel Gonçalves Lourenço.
This incident marks another clash between Jean-Pierre and Ateba, who had his White House access revoked earlier this year.
Ateba continued to protest even after Jean-Pierre ended the briefing, causing frustration among other reporters in the room.
Ateba has previously sued Jean-Pierre and the Secret Service in federal court to have his access restored.
