Trump Tells Woman Reporter to 'Sit Down' Before She Asks Her Question

At the fifth press conference of his presidency, reporters focused on the sexual assault allegations against his Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh.

One reporter, a woman, tried to ask a question and the president went off on a tangent.

When she tried to then ask her question, Trump told her to sit down.

"You've been asking a question for ten minutes," the president told her. "Please sit down."

She politely ignored his order and then asked her question.

Trump brusquely tells a female reporter to "sit down" as she tries to ask him about the sexual assault accusations against him. The optics aren't great.

I'm not sure why they don't all respond to him the way he responds to them.

I'm sick of all this respect for the office Bullshit.

THANK YOU SIR, MAY I HAVE ANOTHER?

He changed the subject and went into a lengthy blather. But she persisted pointing out that he didn't answer her question and asked him to answer it.

Good for her! If anything she got him to reveal his nasty, privileged nature. That new presidential limo has gone to his head.

Can the 80% of media accused of being fake do one fucking headline story about this "Fox" he speaks of and check if it is true Fox is not fake?

Kind of an important thing to report on obviously now.
