Every journalist there should ask why they’re excluding the AP, every time they get called.

The reporters should all stand with their backs to her. They should turn one at a time and ask her factual questions about the Constitution. About freedom of speech. About the freedom of the press. No room for opinions... Just facts about the documents. She makes me sick. "It's a privilege to get to be in this room." The only privileged one in the room is that lying little creep.

I agree. I have been wondering when are they gonna turn their backs, or just start talking and ignoring her. But, dumpy Diapers may kick them all out and ban them from the press room, then we won't know or see the truth.

While I agree with the sentiment, that could be construed as disrespectful, and thus justification to eject those journalists.

Asking questions, on the other hand, is why they’re in the press room. If they all (save 47’s propaganda crew) get barred from the press room for literally doing their jobs, that’s going to be much harder to spin. Not impossible, given *gestures at everything,* but harder.

47 and his cronies get away with non-answers far too often, and journalists need to stop letting them off the hook.

If he bans them all, they can start covering daily press conferences with Democratic lawmakers and their proxies. I’ve seen Secretary Buttigieg suggested as a “press secretary” for the anti-47 movement — I think he’d do a stellar job. I’m sure there are many others who would as well.
