Today President Trump made some remarks with the president of Kenya with reporters in the room. Trump added that they wouldn’t be taking any questions, but when all was said and done, ABC News’ chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl really wanted to know the president’s opinion of John McCain:
.@jonkarl: "Mr. President, do you have any thoughts on John McCain? Do you have any thoughts at all about John McCain? Do you believe John McCain was a hero, sir? Nothing at all about John McCain? OK." pic.twitter.com/82x4QP2Gbp

Here’s the clip of @jonkarl asking about McCain and Trump not responding that everyone is losing their minds over.

Karl denied that he was shouting his question and suggested a hearing test for those who get that impression from the video:
You need to get your hearing checked

So what Karl yelling, or not yelling? Opinions on this vary:

He ended the announcement and was not answering questions. Not sure why he would expect his question to be answered? Because he yelled them out?
