She’s new on the job as White House Press Secretary but Stephanie Grisham has already created headlines of her own. Reporters on the scene of President Trump’s meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un claimed that Grisham was bruised up during a confrontation with North Korean guards.
Grisham suffered bruises when a scuffle broke out Sunday between North Korean security guards and members of the media trying to get close to President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as they shook hands at the Demilitarized Zone, the Associated Press reported.
The new press secretary was reportedly pushing back against the guards, trying to help members of the White House press corps position themselves to cover the historic moment between Trump and Kim.
Several reporters tweeted about the clash between the guards and the media.
A source told CNN’s Jim Acosta that “an all-out brawl” broke out as Grisham tried to manage the White House press pool’s access. I know. Don’t get hung up on the reporter.
A source on the scene said Grisham got in “an all out brawl” with the North Koreans, adding that she was bruised a bit in the scuffle.
Grisham was doing her job, by my reading of the situation. Apparently, the North Korean guards got overly-aggressive with her as she tried to coordinate the press pool’s movement to document a historic moment – President Trump set foot on North Korean soil
Trump, Kim Jung-un, and South Korean President Moon Jae-in met for about 50 minutes inside the Freedom House at the Korean demilitarized zone (DMZ). Treasury Secretary Mnuchin, Presidential advisers Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner sat in for part of the meeting. After the meeting, Trump and Moon escorted Kim Jung-un back over the border as he returned to North Korean soil. Then the two men addressed the press.
“Speed is not the object, we want to see if we can do a really comprehensive, good deal,” Trump said. “This was a great day. This was a very legendary, historic day.”
He quoted Kim as saying that “just the meeting is historic.”
Grisham continued on in her role with the press pool after being roughed-up. Bloomberg White House Correspondent Jennifer Jacobs said the incident “came to body blows. She described the chaos of the moment on Twitter.

Agreed all media BS hype.
I too watched it live.
I didn’t see anything outrageous to warranty the media BS.
What I’ve seen from the media is utter nonsense in getting all bent out of shape defending 0bammy and his complete failure with N.Korea. NBC news tonight was the worst excuse of a news cast propping up 0bammy while taking cheap shots at President Trump. Plain disgusting they are.
I was very surprised that KIM crossed the demarcation line. Not so much surprised that Trump would cross it. Trump’s fearless.

I thought Acosta was part of the WH press pool? Did he stay home in his safe space?

Media is in a PANIC...
They make up FAIRY TALES, taught to them by Barry Hussein, the Master story teller...
all their stories are pure bull sh**...
I haven't heard one word from the new Press Secretary complaining or whining, but then we won't, she is tough and smart and she will let the media roll...and she will hand them their a$$ just like Sara Sanders did...count on it...
By now everyone should know that the MEDIA, LIBERALS, DEMOCRATS, AND RINO DISLIKE THE POTUS and are extremely envious and jealous... Mitt Romney just proved that to us all....He is so pussyified (is that a word? lol) he makes my skin crawl.

Has anyone noticed the female WH photog sneak on to the Nork side to get full frontal pics of the President as he crossed the line and walked with Kim? She is wearing white shoes...about 1 minute in. She obviously understood the historical significance of the unfolding, spontaneous events and took advantage of the chaos (perhaps at great personal risk) to get one-in-a-million pics.

I noticed President Trump’s SS detail pushing people back, and telling them to get back, when they were outside. It’s what they’re supposed to do -— keep the President from getting mobbed, the same as the Korean security detail’s job, for THEIR heads of State. You don’t tangle with security guards. But because of the headlines the incident caused, it may cost the lives of some of Kim’s detail, for embarrassing him before the world. Ah, well...as long as they got a story.../S

I watched the video; just typical press JACKALS acting like a bum rushing a baloney sandwich.

WE will get the truth when they return to Washington—Maybe she should get combat zone pay. That did Tucker say?
To: dynoman
Stephanie Grisham shoved NK security aside to make a path for the US press pool to get by. Didnt look like she got injured.
*************************************
Tough woman who takes the initiative to do her job right. Its no wonder that Melania and Donald think so highly of her. Props to her!

I just watched the entire video. Couldn’t find “the brawl”.
Just a bunch of journalists pushing and shoving.
Another case of U.S. media people trying to smear an important event for Trump?

I can see the video but if I try to scroll to comments FB wants me to log on. As I said they won’t let me do that. I don’t know why Fox Business wants to use FB.

I think I just heard Gordon Chang, on John Batchelor Show, say that Trump and Kim met together, alone, not with Moon, for some time. hmm will listen to my recording...
