The Trump administration threatens to suspend Brian Karem's press pass
CNN ^ | Aug. 3, 2019 | Brian Stelter

There's a new battle brewing between the White House and a hard-nosed member of the media. Brian Karem, a regular at the White House who writes for Playboy magazine, received a letter on Friday saying his "hard pass" will be suspended for 30 days starting Monday.

The letter from press secretary Stephanie Grisham cited his conduct at President Trump's event with social media allies on July 11, when Karem had a heated exchange with pro-Trump radio host Sebastian Gorka.

Grisham intended to keep the letter private, according to a source, but Karem chose to make it public in a tweet on Friday.

Good.

I read he called Trump racist. He is not reporting news, just try to accuse the president.

Why is someone from Playboy even in the White House press corp?

Wing Nut Daily was in the press corps at one time. May still be.

I swear CNN has got to be staffed with nothing but idiots. No one including the President himself in his administration would be unaware that this guy was going to run to the First Media outlet and release that letter.

The White House made a mistake here. They should not have suspended Karem’s press pass. They should have cancelled it.

Don't worry, effective this month Playboy is now fully "woke" and is featuring empowering pictorials of feminist icons, interviews with SJW #metoo activists, and lots of man bashing.

There won't be a Playboy Magazine by the end of the year.

I can just see the new Playboy Advisor column.

Dear Playboy,

My girlfriend insists that I dress up like
a salsa dancer and take her to the Copacabana.

Should I wear pumps or wedgies?

Rock


Dear Rock,

Wedgies aren’t for dancing. Wear pumps. Oh,
and good luck finding a B cup bra in a size 40.

Wonder who writes the headlines for CNN?

Mr Karem’s press pass wasn’t ‘threatened.’ It was cancelled for 30 days effective this coming Monday.

Geesh!

Don’t forget the trannies.

I say pull all of their hard passes. Make each and every one of them ask permission every day to get in.

And limit the number of seats available, then ROTATE permission so that each news rep has a chance to ask something, rather than the egoists always dominating everything!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👵🏻There! Fixed it!!

At least it’s not a pending investigation like ‘Bammer did right?
