If you didn’t watch yesterday’s White House Press Briefing, do yourself a favor and take a peek.
Jen Psaki introduced our new HUD Secretary, Marcia Fudge. Secretary Fudge took the lectern and greeted the room. She was met by total silence.
She then lowered her mask and gave a look I cannot describe, and said, "I was wondering if I was in this room by myself?"
That prompted a chorus of greetings from the assembled members of the Press and initiated a very polite line of questions. It appears our new HUD Secretary does not stand silent in the face of poor manners.
thank you. It's a pleasure to learn from a highly competent government official dedicated to doing her job on behalf of "we the people, all of us this time."
Perfect. I remember grade school teachers who used the same technique to let us know how to respond and set us at ease at the same time. Glad I watched this- she is indeed impressive in both her manner and in how she presents touchy topics. It was interesting to see the reporters relax as she responded to them with a friendly tone and smile.
She is great! And I hold her as a beacon of hope that my Ohio might, just might, be able to at least get a bit purple instead of being three or four pockets of blue cities surrounded by deep red.
I didn't see this, but it makes me wonder if the non-reaction to her greeting the room is a symptom of 4 years of utter disrespect and disparagement of the press by the prior administration and its press staff?
I just have to share this small moment of joy.

Thanks for that clip. Sadly she has learned how to deal with that sort of rudeness in a very effective manner. Brava!

Brilliant, thank you Ellie. I am glad to have seen this clip!
Impressive!!!

She told us not to give up on Ohio. Let’s listen and act.
I immediately fell in love with Secretary Fudge. We are in good hands!
Same feeling!

Doesn't matter. She took control and taught them how to behave immediately.
Great woman.
I think you give them too much slack.
The press or the previous administration???
The press.
its so nice to see leaders with emotional intelligence at the WH lectern. Checking it out now. Thanks R!
