White House answered fake reporter's questions for weeks before press corps exposed her to be 'Lego' video gamer

[Anonymous]

As long as you don't ask tough questions of this inept administration, they don't care who you are.



This is an insane story



An online video game player was able to infiltrate the White House press corps by pretending to be a political reporter. The fake reporter was even able to submit questions to the Biden administration through the press corps, and White House press secretary Jen Psaki answered the imposter's questions for weeks.



Montagu's play-acting as a White House reporter goes back at least to December, when he or she set up @WHschedule on Twitter. They repeatedly referenced the "schedule" account in emails as a primary duty. In March, they began sending tweets from @WHpoolreport. The accounts are rudimentary repostings of two sources of information reporters regularly consume: the president, first lady, vice president, and second gentleman's daily schedules and the so-called pool reports, which are real time dispatches from a small group of journalists tasked with following around those principals during the course of the day and reporting back to the rest of the press corps on their movements and utterances.



The accounts got attention from insiders, who quickly came to rely on their speed and efficiency. @WHSchedule had a following of more than 1,300, including several White House correspondents (some working at POLITICO). The new @WHPoolReport account amassed more than 600 in a few weeks' time, including some who work in the administration like Michael LaRosa, press secretary for Jill Biden and Symone Sanders, a senior advisor and chief spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris.

The person behind the imposter contacted the White House Correspondents Association about being becoming a pool reporter and inquired about applying for a day pass to cover the White House in person.



"Kacey Montagu" was given access to cover COVID-19 government press briefings, but was not called upon.



Montagu regularly sent in questions for the White House press corps to ask Psaki, adding that she wasn't able to be there in person "due to social distancing regulations." Montagu was able to hoodwink White House reporters, including from The Plain Dealer and CQ Roll Call, to ask Psaki numerous questions "about everything from COVID-19 travel bans, to coming ambassadorships, to Biden's reaction to Microsoft being hacked."

Doesn't Joe Biden demand all questions addressed to him be given in advance?

The security aint what it used to be.





Thats what happens when you hire peeps based on race, sexual orientation and gender.



And not based on unnecessary traits like skill, experience, education and high work morale.

If Velvet is correct, this administration has more security than previous ones.

Yes. And that's an absolute



Also handlers either write questions themselves or approve of which are asked
