Monday after White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest tried to close the daily press briefing, several annoyed reporters began to protest by asking why he was refusing to answer questions.

Earnest insisted he had answered all of their questions when Alexis Simendinger, the White House Correspondent for RealClearPolitics, chimed in saying “That’s not true, we asked you a question you should answer the question.” 

Earnest brushed off Simendinger: “Alexis you don’t have to get all excised about this.”
