Democrats have spent the last year demanding that every invader have a multi-year trial prior to removal, unlimited access to appeals, endless defenses against removal, and automatic habeas release from ICE detention.
The only process invaders are due is deportation.
They say keeping CNN out is “viewpoint discrimination.”
In 2020, DOJ told them inviting me — even based on viewpoint — is not a First Amendment violation.
I am the OAN reporter in this letter.
WHCA kicked OAN out of the rotation. Roped off my chair. Made me stand in the back.
Then Brian Karem’s lawyer screamed that Stephanie Grisham inviting me as her guest was unconstitutional.
DOJ’s answer, on White House letterhead:
- The briefing room is White House property.
- The club’s seating chart is a practice the Press Secretary “merely acquiesced” in.
- Special access to a particular reporter is not a First Amendment violation.
- “That is true whether or not such an invitation is based on viewpoint.”
So which is it, WHCA?
When the club locks the conservative out, it’s “safety.”
When the White House locks the network out, it’s the death of the Republic.
The chairs were never yours.
@EricLDaugh If you came across the border illegally at ANY time you broke the law and should be arrested and deported regardless of how good a person you are or how long you’ve been here.
So, the White House Press Corps wants to talk about censorship. Great! Let's have that conversation. How many times have the networks and cable channels refused to broadcast President Trump's speeches?
@EricLDaugh@MonicaCrowley These democratic communist propaganda outlets are not having their first amendment rights violated but I’m sure a leftist judge will say otherwise.
