Reporter Asks Trump Nasty Question, Gets Called Out. She Responds Shut The F*** Up

On Monday, a Washington correspondent for New York Magazine fired off a particularly nasty question at President Trump, asking, “If an American president loses more Americans over the course of six weeks than died over the entirety of the Vietnam war, does he deserve to be reelected?”

Olivia Nuzzi’s vitriol triggered Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary to President George W. Bush, and as adroit and intelligent as anyone who has ever served in that position, to rip Nuzzi, tweeting, “It’s clown questions like this that can make the briefing a waste of time. The only point of that question was to provoke. Not learn anything new. Not provide information to viewers. The point was to get under Trump’s skin. Good to see potus rose above and didn’t take the bait.”
Nuzzi tweeted back, “Oh, shut the f*** up.”
Trump’s response to Nuzzi was quite measured and gracious, as he pointed out that even one life lost was too many.
In March 2017, after then-White House press secretary Sean Spicer told April Ryan, the White House reporter for American Urban Radio Networks, to stop shaking her head, Nuzzi laid into Spicer, tweeting,”Sean Spicer is rude to everyone, but it’s difficult to imagine him speaking to a white, male reporter the way he spoke to April Ryan today.”
