White House press secretary Sean Spicer got into a heated exchange Monday with CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta over the administration’s recent lack of televised press briefings.
Spicer quipped about cameras after Acosta asked whether President Donald Trump still believed House Republicans’ healthcare bill was “mean.”
“There’s no camera on, Jim,” Spicer said.
“Maybe we should turn the cameras on, Sean,” Acosta replied. “Why don’t we turn the cameras on? They’re in the room. The lights are on.”

I asked Spicer if we could turn the cameras on at today's briefing. He ignored the question.

This is not campaign event. This is the WH. We are sitting in a briefing room full of cameras and taxpayer funded spokesman at podium. https://t.co/73a23TIVOx

Like the off camera briefing, this is an attempt to get the coverage without the accountability. https://t.co/VFrEsmx4W5
