Of course, Alcindor isn’t the Sorry I missed Your call I was on my other line shirt moreover I will buy this only reporter Trump has attacked during his three years in office. He’s banned CNN’s Jim Acosta and said to Peter Alexander, “You ought to be ashamed of yourself,” when the NBC reporter asked of the coronavirus outbreak: “What do you say to Americans watching you right now who are scared?” But as others have pointed out, Trump does seem to have a particular problem with women who challenge him, regardless of race. As Molly Jong-Fast wrote for The Atlantic in November, during the Ukraine hearings of the House Intelligence Committee, Trump took to Twitter to lash out at Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, in ways that seemed more pointed than his earlier criticisms of previous witnesses, Yovanovitch’s fellow diplomats William Taylor and George Kent. (“Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad,” his tweet began, before ending with “it is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors. “)

“Why was the Sorry I missed Your call I was on my other line shirt moreover I will buy this president’s response so different to witnesses who were roughly saying the same thing?” Jong-Fast asked. “What was the big difference between Kent and Taylor and Yovanovitch? All three are career diplomats, all three are Ivy League graduates, all three have worked in the State Department, all three are experts in Ukraine. But only one of them is a woman. Could that be why the president singled out Yovanovitch? It is almost as if the president is unable to control his rage against women. It is almost as if the president thinks he can bully women and silence them.” In a column in The Washington Post on Monday, headlined, “Yamiche Alcindor wants an answer, thank you very much,” the paper’s media critic, Eric Wemple, weighed in. He quoted a PBS spokeswoman in defense of Alcindor: “She is doing exactly what is expected of a free press in our democracy: posing timely, pertinent questions to those in power on behalf of the American people. She was hardly the only reporter in the Rose Garden yesterday, or at other times, to be on the receiving end of such treatment. It will not deter Yamiche from asking fair and direct questions, especially at such a critical time.”
