The outlets Trump just banned from the White House…
Exposed damning details about his coverup of the Epstein files (CNN)
Exposed his use of FBI & Secret Service to spy on critics (MSNOW)
Exposed his illegal detention of thousands (Politico)
This is full-blown censorship.
The entire White House press pool should protest Trump’s decision to kick out certain reporters by refusing — in solidarity — to leave the building tonight.
It’s the People’s house, not his. We have a right to know what’s going on there.
Old enough to remember when the VP of the man who just banned journalists from the WH went to Munich to accuse European leaders of suppressing free speech.
Pete Hegseth: “Europe needs the Strait of Hormuz more than we do. Get on a boat. This is their fight, not ours.”
This is the dumbest and most disgraceful U.S. administration in American history. They started the war themselves, and now it’s: “This is your problem — go clean up the mess.”
As I said in this speech in the Senate Chamber in 2018: “The President has it precisely backward - despotism is the enemy of the people. The free press is the despot's enemy, which makes the free press the guardian of democracy.”https://t.co/k3E2FKlmds
The US/Denmark/Greenland agreement could easily have been reached without any of the threats and verbal violence used by Pres Trump. As it is, he’s divided NATO and convinced every member they can’t rely on the US.
“There is no more essential ingredient than a free, strong, and independent press to our continued success in what the Founding Fathers called our 'noble experiment' in self-government.”
- Ronald Reagan
This is a very bad decision, President @realDonaldTrump - it’s not the media’s job to give you endless praise. It’s their job to hold you and your administration to rigorous account. Banning them is a suppression of free speech and unconstitutional.
If anyone has any remaining doubt that Trump is purposely helping Putin and harming our allies, they have lost touch with reality. We may not know why he's a traitor, but a traitor he is.
🚨 BREAKING:
Hegseth: "Europe needs the Strait of Hormuz more than we do. Get on a boat. This is their fight, not ours."
The US closed the strait, which was open before the war. So is it Europe's fight now?
