Reporters at the White House press briefing on Tuesday were audibly laughing after Secretary of State Marco Rubio called on a pro-MAGA correspondent to ask a question.

Rubio called on Cara Castronuova, a White House correspondent for LindellTV, which is owned by Mike Lindell, a Trump ally who also founded My Pillow, when the laughter broke out.

"What happened, why is everyone giggling? What happened? I'm sorry, are they being mean to you? Rubio asked.

"I don't think they are, I don't think they are, I hope not," Castronuova said, asking Rubio to comment on Trump's comment that Iranians needed guns and if the U.S. would supply those.
