Restricting a reporter's access because of what they asked or wrote is the kind of thing I'd object to no matter who sits in the Oval Office. The press corps loved a pool that worked for them until it stopped working for them, and the White House picking who gets in the room is the real issue. Neither side's media is clean here, but a government deciding which journalists cover the president is overreach, full stop. I'd want to hear the White House's reason, and I wouldn't just take it on their word either.
The White House Correspondents' Association can condemn whatever it wants, but this is the kind of stuff that happens when you have a media that spent years openly campaigning against a president and now pretends to be shocked when he doesn't want them in the room. This isn't journalism anymore. It's advocacy, and both sides are playing the game. No wonder nobody trusts them.

Pulling a reporter from the pool for doing their job is exactly what a regime scared of questions does, and the MAGATs will cheer it as "accountability" like always. Kamala warned us Trump would go after the press the second he got back in, and here we are. Impeach him already.
