Playboy White House reporter and CNN political analyst Brian Karem has been using the briefing room as a grounds for activism, and is completely unapologetic for his outbursts.
On Tuesday, Karem had a meltdown at Press Secretary Sarah Sanders over separating illegal immigrant families at the border and inappropriately brought her children up to make his point.
“Don’t you have any empathy? Come on, Sarah. You’re a parent. Don’t you have any empathy for what these people are going through?” Karem shouted at Sanders as she urged him to settle down.
On Sunday, Karem appeared on CNN’s Reliable Sources to defend his activism and transparent attempt to become the headline.
“I have an apology to make,” he started. “I apologize to every who has had to suffer…who has less than I do, and I did not come to the table sooner. I’m sorry to those people for waiting so long, holding my temper.”
The cringe inducing virtue signalling continued throughout his appearance.
“I’m sorry that I am extremely angry with this administration that has lied to me, continues to lie to me. I’m sorry as a reporter that for so long I thought that the idea was to — I was struggling so hard to do my job I forgot that my job is to comfort the afflicted, afflict the comfortable, and ask questions for those who have no voice.”
Shockingly, CNN host Brian Stelter actually brought up the fact that many are accusing Karem of attempting to make it about himself.
