It really helps to help our channel grow with those little things you can do for us

Carine Jean-Pierre is certainly not regarded as one of the best press secretaries in the history of the White House

I think we can all agree, at least from our end, we see her and we look and we say, what is she doing there

She's no Jen Psaki. And Jen Psaki, we disagreed with her on a lot of things

But, you know, she knew how to do the job. The difference with Jean-Pierre is it seems like she gets frustrated

She gets angry at the reporters for doing a reporter's job and asking questions of the press secretary on behalf of the White House

Her job is to sit there and answer the questions from that reporters have for the president, for the White House

And she seems to get aggravated with that. But one African reporter is actually taking it upon himself

to take it a step further. Simon Etzeba says that he believes he's been discriminated against

by the White House because of the frequent brush ups he's had with Carine Jean-Pierre

Now, he's had several to the point where Jean-Pierre has stormed out of the press briefing room where she's publicly scolded him

You know, just refused to call on the man. And he has now finally filed a lawsuit, dragging her into court

And she's going to have to explain why she has picked on this one particular reporter more than the others

You know, it's certainly not a racial issue. We don't think they're both black

They you know, it doesn't seem to be any personal issue that they've had prior to her becoming the press secretary

So the question is, what is going on? Does he just ask tough questions and you don't want to answer tough questions

He does ask a very good question. So maybe that's part of the reason maybe he doesn't kiss her

butt like the rest of the press corps does, let's say for Peter Doocy

You know, maybe that's what she doesn't like about him. You know, he actually does his job

So there could be any number of reasons. But Simon says he's going to get to the bottom of it

in a court of law and have his day in court. And I think that's good because a free press, a press that holds truth

you know, truth to power that holds the the politicians and the people in power's feet to the fire is vital for a democracy

It is vital for our country in particular. We are built on freedom, individual freedoms

We're built on freedom of the press. And, you know, up until recent times, the press, you know, was supposed to do

its job in shining a light on government and protecting the people from corruption

And, you know, now it's in a lot of people's eyes become just another wing

of the Democrat Party, and that's a shame because press plays a vital role

And they deserve better than being reprimanded by Press Secretary Kareem Jean-Pierre

So, Simon, good luck in your lawsuit, man. You know, we're all pulling for you

And at least let's get to the bottom of what's going on here. And in the meantime, if you really want real news with no filter

you've come to the right place. Please make sure to join us here every night at Explain America on Facebook
