PBS’s Liz Landers raised eyebrows by complaining about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s unwillingness to take questions as he was rushed out of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night.

The evening’s festivities were interrupted when a gunman, identified as 31-year-old Cole Tomas Allen of California, opened fire outside of the Washington Hilton Hotel’s ballroom where President Donald Trump, members of his Cabinet, and much of the D.C. press corps was gathered.

In a tweet fired off shortly after the incident, Landers shared a video of “Hegseth moving through hallway back near the stage of the correspondent’s dinner,” adding that “he did not take questions from the press.” In it, a female reporter’s voice can be heard asking, “Mr. Secretary, is the president going back to the dinner?” as Hegseth is hurriedly ushered toward a door by his security detail.

Is that really complaining or just stating a fact? May be I missed something... I do not believe what he did was wrong at all, but is she really complaining?

The press is evil enough we do not need to be butthurt at everything. This seems minor.

While she was asking stupid questions, at least she was attempting to be a reporter and not just stealing wine bottles.

Some of his protection should have put an elbow in her ribs.

This is where we are as a Nation with the "Free Press".

Factually speaking, Ms Landers is 100% correct.

But for anyone with higher than a 6 year old grounding of reality, what she did is certainly Fake News.

She tried to make a negative statement about a person using actual facts.

True, yes.
Fake, also yes.

Both can happen at the same time.

Yep. Great explanation!

Again…Meanwhile other reporters were crying under tables filming themselves and Wolf Blitzer was trying to win an Oscar.

They live in an alternate reality.

50 years from now, no one will remember Liz Sanders.

But people will remember Hegseth (and others) in this photo...

I wonder how many tweets she posted about Biden basically ghosting the press completely for the entirety of his final year in office (and the few times he did take questions they were all planned and approved ahead of time)

Final Year Context: Biden engaged in fewer press conferences and media interviews than any of the last seven presidents at similar points in their terms.

Judging by how the press has framed Trump and this admin it's a shot at them.



They are saying Trump and his mates are a threat to freedom of the press.

Liz Landers is Jim Acosta’s girlfriend. Go figure. I hope they don’t reproduce.
