The insufferable John Roberts, Fox News, demanded that White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany give him ‘a definitive and declarative statement without ambiguity or deflection’ regarding white supremacy.
McEnany had just read multiple quotes from President Trump, delivered on different dates, that clearly showed he is against racism and is not a white supremacist. See it for yourself in video below:
Clearly, quotes from the president were not enough for Roberts who continued to demand that Kyleigh denounce what Trump has denounced repeatedly.
Roberts remained in a snit on the White House lawn even after the briefing was over.

Could this be the real reason that Roberts became so angry?
.@johnrobertsFox I would refer you to your wife’s reporting from 21 hours ago… accurate reporting I cited in the White House Press Briefing. https://t.co/dV3Hzp1UaI

“Just now: [Donald Trump] tells me he DENOUNCES white supremacists,” Phillips reported Wednesday, tagging ABC News and, notably, her husband, John Roberts.
And just last week Trump did this: Trump $500B Black America plan designates KKK, Antifa as ‘terrorist organizations’ as reported by Robert’s own network, Fox News.
President Trump’s plan for Black America designates the KKK and Antifa as terrorist organizations and calls for making lynching a national hate crime, while pledging to increase access to capital in Black communities by nearly $500 billion, Fox News has learned.
Robert’s performance today showed not only his bias, not only his lack of professionalism but also his ignorance of events, even when they are as close to home as his own workplace.
He must have been reading his questions through his democrat lenses, again. Damn glasses must get them adjusted.
Roberts, just needs to QUIT fox and go to a network more akin to his politics, CNN i hear is hiring.
FOX is not the news organization it once was. More and more you see them moving to the left to join the other seditious news organizations.
And it can all be traced back to when Murdock left its reigns to his kids..
I too denounce all the white supremacist groups that the Left loves so much. These are all leftist groups. None of them are on the Right.
Go ahead and abolish the KKK. I won’t lift a finger to stop you. The Democrats will, as they tried to stop Jeff Sessions when he dismantled the KKK in Alabama.
Go ahead and abolish the neo-Nazis. That’s a racist socialist group. Abolish all racist socialist groups, but start with the most violent and dangerous ones.
neo-Nazis
Antifa
BLM
(there are plenty of others, all on the Left)
We’ll see who cries foul when you try to shut down racist socialist groups. It won’t be the conservatives.
AND NOTHING< absolutely nothing, about the Proud boys, is "White supremacists:!!
Not certain what to make of this with John Roberts. I always considered him to be even handed in reporting the news, but when I watched the video of this incident, I couldn’t understand why John kept pressing Kaleigh and wanting her to give an answer John wanted. It’s all very curious as to why he kept on and on with Kaleigh and then saying “He didn’t care, it was a question that needed to be answered.” Regarding the Proud Boys and if the president was going to denounce the group. Then John Roberts ended, saying, “I’m tired of it.” He just went postal about this situation and didn’t want Kaleigh to be “ambiguous nor have deflection” regarding her answer to him.
Perhaps someone on here can explain this more fully. But John has certainly snapped my head around a looking at him and what his agenda may be. He never reacted like this to BLM/ANTIFAH. . . Hmmmmm!
Unlike some of you I have see Roberts’ bias in the past. It shows up in nasty little snipes in his reporting. Most of Fox News’ staff is quite liberal. Roberts came to Fox from CNN years ago and has had at least one direct confrontation with Trump in the past.
The conservatives are on at night. If I want straight news on TV I go to One America News but most of my news comes from reliable conservative sources on the Internet. I read the liberal crap too but only to see what they’re saying.
Leonidas ,
I agree i have seen Roberts bias also and blew it off.
I accepted it as his choice but when he has a temper tantrum like a little child pouting & whining
he has diminished himself as a professional reporter.
Now to Mr.Roberts do not blame President Trump for your behavior you brought that on all by yourself….Maybe it is time to put on your big boy pants!
One American News is the best!
HE may have at one time, been unbiased, but his TDS is starting to show..
There is a show opening up on FOX and Roberts is shooting for the job (I think) however
he shot himself in the foot, bad thing was his foot was in his mouth……….William
Antifa not an organization.
Antifa — Rose City Antifa, Antifa Seven Hills, Antifa Sacramento, Atlanta “Antifascists” and so on. There’s a few of their locals. Look them up.
Don’t forget to go to Antifa.com and see who owns that website.
Now that is very interesting. It takes you to the Biden campaign site at least if you use Safari as a web browser. NYT reported on it but concluded it was some sort of hacker (because this is what they were told by the Democrats) but no explanation was provided as to why the Democrats haven’t blocked it which I have been informed would be quite easy. The MSM has otherwise been quiet about it or used the hacker excuse. Imagine what the reaction of the press would be if they typed in “Nazi.com” and they were directed to the Trump site!
Just think, going to antifa.com display the official “hidin” Biden for President website.
IF antifa’s not an organization, WHO THEN, is doing all the rioting? Who’s burning all those vehicles down?
WHY does the White House even BOTHER with these press “briefings”?
They serve NO USEFUL purpose (other than giving a platform for these Democrat mouthpieces [“reporters”] to grandstand)!
At a MINIMUM, you should just be BRIEFING “the press” on what’s happening, then LEAVE (don’t open it up to accusations (er, “questions”)!
If nothing else, you should STOP calling on these KNOWN embarrassments to journalism (aka, ANYONE from Fox News, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Playboy, etc.).
I guess you can JUST call on OANN (One America News Network) and Newsmax…
IF the white house stopped them, the left would WHINE “Trump is silencing the media, he’s hiding something” etc..
News Alert!!!!
One of John Roberts elementary teachers said John was slow witted and had to be told several times before it sunk in.
Even Biden repeated the Leftist lie about Charlottesville they CREATED by editing what President Trump actually said when he condemned White Supremacists and other “bad folk” but said lots of fine people on both sides were marching about preserving the monuments. Look it up on YouTube for yourself. And look up Proud Boys who are “proud to be Americans” and openly oppose White Supremacists AND Antifa–because they are both Anti-American values. And try finding people who actually worked with and know Trump that say he is a racist–they don’t exist except in the Leftist media!! Democrats and their racist screams are so boring and dumb.
If you oppose/support anything the left supports/opposes you are now a racist. Support the 1st amendment? Racist. Support democracy? Racist. Support capitalism? Racist. Support law enforcement? Racist. Oppose looting and rioting? Racist.
EVEN IF YOU are black, asian, latino or the like, IF YOU ARE NOT in lock step, with the commucrats attempting to subvert our nation, you are a white supremacist.
I always thought John Roberts was an independent at worse. His TDS finally got the better of him and he showed his true colors.
Let me fix the headline:
Trump makes an *** out of himself at debates.
No liberal or Dem here either. Just an independent conservative who thinks this president is an embarrassment our great nation.
Well, geno, glad you aren’t Prez.
Would be most horrifying & embarrassing for nation & world to watch you as Prez smiling silently & foolishly in a debate while your opponent incoherently giggles, insults & slanders you in between his amateurish lies & refusal to give any specific or direct answers.
Trump was voted Prez precisely because he isn’t worried about manners or phony politeness when dealing with self declared terrorists & hostile enemies of USA, which would include the Dem Party Marxist tyrants & MSM.
Depends on how much Obozo/SOROS money is at play that dictates when and who goes off the rails at FOX. One America News is the only way to go. They never sully their shows with evil in the form of commucrat guests.
Kayleigh lowered the BOOM! on Roberts. Liberals are not only dense, don’t learn anything, but hard of hearing too. Roberts hasn’t learned that Kayleigh knows the facts and is always prepared.
Wow Roberts a total idiot! Is this guy for real?
Unfortunately.. BUT it shows just how borked Fox is getting.
