#WeLoveYamiche Trends After Trump Accuses Reporter of Asking 'Threatening' Question

https://www.newsweek.com/we-love-yamiche-trends-donald-trump-reporter-threatening-question-1494972

The hashtag #WeLoveYamiche was trending on social media Monday morning after President Donald Trump told the White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor not to be "threatening" during a coronavirus press conference.

(Very long snip here - description of the interaction between Yamiche and Trump)

Posting on social media after the press briefing, Alcindor said: "President Trump today at the White House said to me: 'Be nice. Don't be threatening.'

"I'm not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job.

"My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward."

The reporter then received a flood of support on Twitter as users took up the #WeLoveYamiche hashtag. At the time of writing, #WeLoveYamiche was forth in the U.S. Twitter trending rankings with more than 74,000 tweets using the hashtag.

"Very heartening to wake up and see #WeLoveYamiche as the top trend on Twitter," KETV meteorologist Matt Serwe tweeted. "She's one of the best."

Former DNC Chair Donna Brazile said: "#WeLoveYamiche and every professional journalist on the job covering the #CoronavirusOutbreak. Thank you."

"I love Yamiche because she's not hysterical," podcaster Paula Poundstone tweeted. "She remains calm, and asks important, reasonable questions that need answers. She understands the importance of facts."

Threatening question - brutally honest question that exposes a narcissistic sociopath as the fraud he is.
