A visit to the White House by the cast of AppleTV's Ted Lasso was interrupted when a journalist began shouting down press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.
The outburst eventually resulted in other reporters remonstrating with the heckler, saying he was impeding their ability to work.
The journalist — Simon Ateba, the White House correspondent for Today News Africa — immediately began shouting at White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre as the cast of the TV comedy show Ted Lasso stood silently behind her during a press corps appearance.
As soon as Mr Atemba began shouting Ms Jean-Pierre tried to shut him down, repeating "we're not doing this" over his comments.
He complained that "this [is] not China, this [is] not Russia," and said Ms Jean-Pierre hadn't called on him for seven months.
