US journo caught poking fun at Indian scribe
In the viral video, the Indian reporter could be seen asking a question to Trump. The US journalist sitting behind him could be seen asking someone ”who is this guy” and then keeping her palm on her cheek and making faces at the Indian scribe.
Video triggers angry reactions on Twitter
This video has gone viral in no time and the scribe has been identified as Ebony Bowden. The video has been flooded with reactions with many Indian users taking strong objection to US journo’s behaviour. Some accused her of being racist while others slammed her for poking fun at Indian scribe.
She says “who is this guy?”? Was she put off that he got called to ask a question and she didn’t? I’m embarrassed for her?

His Accent is still very heavy but that is no reason to laugh while he is talking

Shoutout to Mr. Goyal.
He has been a White House reporter since President Carter & he speaks better English than most of us speak Hindi. pic.twitter.com/8hOMfBbu2j— Damon imani (@damonimani) February 27, 2020
