Following earlier reports this week regarding the Associated Press being temporarily banned from the White House Oval Office, Trump’s deputy chief of staff announced on Friday that the outlet is now indefinitely barred from entering both the Oval Office and Air Force One.
The announcement follows the left-leaning outlet’s refusal to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.”
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich continued to blast the outlet’s decision to ignore the executive order in an X post on Friday.
“The Associated Press continues to ignore the lawful geographic name change of the Gulf of America. This decision is not just devise, but it also exposes the Associated Press’ commitment to misinformation. While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One,” Budowich wrote.
I’ve got no problem with that. You can probably add a few more to that list.
