'I briefly got the hand today,' said NBC reporter Kelly O'Donnell.
Fox News contributor and former congressman Jason Chaffetz took aim at O'Donnell after she posted the photo, saying the reporter put a"wrong and disingenuous" spin on the image.
"@POTUS has been much more open to answering questions, specific questions, than any other President in your lifetime," Chaffetz wrote."Your spin on this photo is WRONG & DISINGENUOUS. @KellyO You can complain, but not about his being open to answer Qs.""Congressman, I took the photo. The president takes many questions but often does not engage on specific points that are key to gathering critical new information. Today he declined on a number of questions.
Chaffetz agreed that the video, posted a few minutes after the photograph, was"a more fair representation." O'Donnell and the president have had similar interactions in the past. In September, she pressed Trump on why military aid to Ukraine was delayed. He started to answer that he didn't delay anything, but after her follow up questions –– like whether the Ukrainian President felt pressure –– Trump dismissed her with a wave.
I pressed the president on why military aid to Ukraine was delayed and if the Ukraine president could have felt pressure. I got an answer and a gesture from the president who did take many questions. Watch.
