Part of the objective of such <ahem> 'reporters' is to somehow catch the target in a gotcha, a move, a shift, lose their cool, etc. Toxic trolls is basically what they are. They want <reaction>.
Now I'm not saying that cussing is always bad. DJT uses it masterfully, but purposely. And there is no one like Trump, really. But he's not going to sink to that level in response to someone goading him, and neither is Kash (imo).
FWIW, I think both he and Todd handled this professionally and powerfully.
"It was never said, it never happened, and I wil serve in this administration as long as the president and the attorney general want me to do so!"
"And EVERY TIME you guys report false lies, every time you guys raise baseless questions, when we are here to talk about the Southern Poverty Law Center's $3 million decade-long scheme to fraudulently fleece Americans, you are off topic!"
He's using a tactic many demonrat propaganda pushers use at the end of White House press conferences where they start screaming questions after the PC has ended and the White House representative (Karoline Leavitt as the most recent) is already walking out. Now they write something like "We asked about XX and the WH didn't answer" aka "the big innuendo" (a lie, of course). Demonrats cannot win or prevail at anything if they don't lie, cheat and deceive.
Just another piss-poor behavior from Team Evil that will (hopefully) be taught in grade school and colleges/universities in the future as just another element of the evil that almost engulfed our blessed country (and the world) to teach and remind young people what utter pieces of crap these lowlife individuals are and always have been, another example of the depths they sink to, of the tactics they employ to deceive people.
We may have lost many millions of Americans to this stupidity, those who won't even accept the truth after-the-fact if shown, but at least future generations can be made aware of these evil, manipulative tactics and be shown how to recognize them.
I would love to have Kash say "will you just shut the fuck up for one second if you're even capable of that? “
Yes to this!! I'm sure he has had it cued on the tip of his tongue
Too much of a pro to do that.

He should say: Secret Service please tase that person.
That reminds me of a line from a Firesign Theater routine: "Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!"
Reminds me of Tropic Thunder: "And who here is the key grip?... You? You! Hit that director in the face, really fucking hard!"🐸
he looked like a wimp.
he should have pulled their press pass

Every time a reporter acts like that they should be banned from press conferences for 30 days.
Unless there is some kind of reprimand for that behavior they will keep doing it.
