“The White House has had issues with me ever since January, when I asked, 'Mr. President, are you a racist?' After his response to Charlottesville, after 's---hole countries,' after 'get that some of a b--- off the field' and 'What the hell do you have to lose?' it's more than a fair question, it's necessary. As a black female journalist, I'm going to keep asking it and continue seeking answers. That's my job, and I am up for it.” - White House correspondent April Ryan, in a Washington Post op-ed written after President Donald Trump told her to “sit down” in a press conference on Nov. 7.
