Reporter:

'It has recently been announced, by you in fact, that there will be "truth and transparency" from now on, but so far you haven't actually answered a single question, despite hosting several hours of briefings thus far. Can you elaborate on how this is consistent with the new policy?'

JP:

'Oh, of course. It's really a great question. Well, as you well know, this administration is under no obligation to respond at this time or in the future, so we really only know about as much as you do regarding this. You should know that by now, honestly, you sick bastard. We've gone over this before. It's actually quite shameful. You keep asking questions when we've told you repeatedly to stop doing it. We'd all like certain answers but, when we're honest with ourselves, I think we know that doesn't mean we're entitled to them. Let's not be shameful. It's time to leave the ways of the old administration behind. The president will have a comment on this when and if he deigns to do so, and honestly I'm going to have to circle back, but thank you for asking me that annoying, traitorous question. Why am I the only one without a mask while telling everyone there are no exceptions to mask wearing in the press room? Sorry, was that last part aloud?'
