Raw Story reports:
Speaking on Fox News this Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany accused Playboy reporter Brian Karem of sexism, saying that he should be investigated by the White House Correspondents’ Association.
“If you’re a female woman in the Republican Party who takes that podium, guess what your worry is — having a Playboy reporter shout questions at you, demeaning misogynistic questions, during a briefing,” McEnany said, according to POLITICO’s Quint Forgey.
McEnany is apparently referring to last month’s single press briefing at which Karem shouted “Why won’t you admit you lost?” as she fled the room without taking questions.

Kayleigh McEnany: “…It’s a double standard. It’s one that’s ridiculous and one that the White House Correspondents’ Association should look into, when you have Playboy reporters shouting at women in a misogynistic manner simply because they’re a member of the GOP.” (2/2)

Lame. @realDonaldTrump failed 3 times in court to ban me. Speaking truth to power is not misogyny. You work for a misogynist. Your briefings are propaganda. You failed the American people who pay your salary. You’re sore because you can’t answer questions honestly. https://t.co/n0vHZJipiV
