abby phillip, you're joining us now as well. and abby, look. the president responded to your important question saying that it was a stupid question. he actually didn't answer it. and on top of that, abby, it's important to call out and note that the president also threatened to take away more reporter credentials. >> yeah, poppy. you know, in that gaggle, it's usually really loud. a lot of reporters out there screaming questions at the president. i tried to ask him multiple questions during the gaggle. he ignored most of them. one of the questions i tried to ask was whether he was punishing reporters because he didn't like their questions. he refused to answer that, but later on, i did ask him one of what i think is the most pressing questions that a lot of people have about this matt whitaker appointment, which is what's the intention here? does the president want his new acting attorney general to rein in robert mueller? does he want him to step in in a way that jeff sessions did not, which is why the president was so upset with jeff session
