Why she might be annoying:

    Her birth year has been variously listed as 1986 and 1987.
    She frequently grandstands during press briefings.
    Her name has been mispronounced as 'yamaka.'
    She engaged in back-and-forth arguments with both Kellyanne Conway and President Trump about the appropriateness of using the term 'Kung Flu' as a nickname for Coronavirus (priorities).
    She has also badgered Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and Surgeon General Jerome Adams at press conferences, again usually over Tweets and semantics.
    She got into a tense back-and-forth with President Trump during a Coronavirus press briefing which led to White House aide forcibly taking the mic from her (March 2020).

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is the daughter of Haitian immigrants.
    She was mentored by Gwen Ifill.
    She worked as a reporter for USA Today and The New York Times.
    She has been repeatedly berated by President Trump over the wording of her questions.
    Trump's calling her question on ventilators 'threatening' prompted the trending hashtag #WeLoveYamiche.
    In 2013, the National Association of Black Journalists named her Emerging Journalist of The Year.
