Newsmax correspondent James Rosen: had a follow-up that, needless to say, KJP did not want to engage with….
Rosen: “Are there any invulnerable communities?”
KJP: “Go ahead, Patsy.”
VOA’s Patsy Widakuswara: “Thank you. Uh, one last try.”
KJP [TO ROSEN]: “It’s not funny. I know you want to make —”
Rosen: “I’m just asking questions —”
KJP: “— wait, wait a minute.”
Rosen: “— about vulnerable communities.”
KJP: “Hold on, hold on.”
Rosen: “You’re making a distinction.”
KJP: “Wait, hold on. It’s not funny.”
Rosen: “I wasn’t making a joke.”
KJP: “Wait, no.”
Rosen: “I was asking a question.”
KJP: “It is not — wait, I’m answering. Let me answer.”
Rosen: “Are there any invulnerable —”
KJP: “Stop!”
Rosen: “— communities?”
KJP: “Not everybody wants to hear the sound of your voice, sir. Give me a second and I will tell you my answer. It’s not funny.”

French-Canadian journalist Richard Latendresse: “A personal question actually, Ken, because I was listening to you this morning while at noon, and you refer to yourself as a proud Haitian American.”

KJP: “Yeah. That’s not — that’s not new.”
Latendresse: “That’s not new.”
KJP: “No.”
Latendresse: “But do you — do you take this personally when a the community is a target of attack as it is at the moment in Springfield?”

KJP: “I take it personally when any community — any vulnerable community is attacked not just — not just a community that I belong to — uh — and proudly belong to, but any community, any vulnerable community that is attacked, wrongfully so … when a vulnerable community is attacked. That’s not what national leaders should be. Political leaders should not be attacking vulnerable communities. That’s not who we should be and if they’re going to fall for conspiracy theories online, maybe they shouldn’t be our leaders. Maybe they shouldn’t be. Uh — but it is on all of us. It doesn’t matter if you’re Haitian American, if it doesn’t matter if you’re a Jewish American, it doesn’t matter if you’re Mu — it doesn’t — Muslim American — all of us should come together”

ABC’s Selina Wang: “[T]he Ohio governor said that the federal government needs to give Springfield some help to deal with the influx of migrants. What’s the President’s reaction to that and does the White House have plans to provide some funding to the state?”

KJP: “So, a couple of things and I’m glad — I’m actually glad you asked this question because there are a couple of things I do want to lay out that the administration has been able to do. Again, this is conspiracy theory — what we’re hearing that has been debunked … since day one, our priority has been ensuring communities across the country have the support they need, so we’ve delivered resources to Ohio as well to cities, states, and non for profits across the country. Since the spring, DHS has been directly engaged with the city of Springfield and local officials to make sure they have the support they need and we want to do more. We would like to do more … Republicans in Congress stopped that. It would have given more. I would have given more resources to cities like Springfield, Ohio, but I don’t want it to — to miss the point here that the administration has indeed provided more than $1.3 billion in grant funding to — in jur — in jurisdictions around — around the country to help — to help — with the influx and what they’re dealing with, we want to do more, but we’ve been blocked in doing so.

Wang: “So are there any new conversations that the president is trying to start right now for further assistance?”

KJP: “We want to fix this problem. We did $1.3 billion. That’s something that this administration has been able to do. We want more funding. Republicans are getting in the way in Congress. We were able to put forward again a bipartisan deal”
