CNNs April Ryan went into the bunker over this incident. Earlier this month, her bodyguard got into a physical altercation with a local New Jersey reporter at an education summit. Its all caught on video and the bodyguard was slapped with an assault charge. The liberal media speaks all the time about how President Trump bashing the media is dangerous; its not. Its just spoiled, entitled liberal media elitists not liking being trashed so thoroughly on a daily basis for their Democratic Party activism. If you want to do that, finejust dont give off this veneer that youre unbiased. Its a joke. Trump tweets, but Ryans bodyguard actually manhandled a reporter. Has she been asked to condemn this assault on the press? Probably not, and now she has spoken, and as The Washington Examiners Becket Adams noted, she threw her bodyguard right under the bus. She pretty much took the Sgt. Schultz line: I know nothing (via Washington Examiner):
April Ryan's Bodyguard Assaults Reporter After Stealing His Camera
It took the 2019 Freedom of the Press Award-winner and White House correspondent only 22 days to break her silence. Ryan claimed Sunday on CNN that the Aug. 3 episode was the fault of an overeager, and since-fired, bodyguard named Joel Morris. I did not order anyone to do anything, Ryan said, adding, I was on the stage at the time. Surveillance footage shows Ryan speaking directly to Morris moments before he forcibly removed New Brunswick Today founder and editor Charlie Kratovil from the event. At that moment, what you saw was my then-bodyguard, who was concerned with my safety, come to me and say, Stop talking, the White House reporter said after her interviewer, CNNs Brian Stelter, played the clip of the altercation. Ryan added that Morris and Kratovil were "about 100 feet away from me, I didnt know what was going on or what was being said. [ ] Ryan wrote an entire book in 2018 about the supposed dangers White House reporters face every day in the Trump era. To date, Ryan has faced nothing in her years covering this administration to compare to what her security detail did to Kratovil. Maybe she can give him an honorable mention the next time she writes a book applauding the bravery of reporters like herself.
April Ryan has journalist violently thrown out
Its another profile in courage from the White House press corps. Theyre just like first responders, folks. My eyes cant roll any harder. Ryan is one of the most visible and outspoken anti-Trump writers out there. She has played the victim card after Trump has called her out on her BS--many others have as well. Well, after this, she may just want to dial it back A LOT, but I doubt that'll happen.
Sue the bodyguard.
Sue her.
Sue CNN.
I’m not a big lawsuit fan, but it amy be all they understand.
She has a 2nd Amendment right!!....Does she hire someone to take care of her 1st Amendment rights too?.....
as my old uncle Guido said...Anyone that needs a bodyguard has F’ed ALOT OF LITTLE PEOPLE...They “sense” danger with everyone they meet....
The bodyguard was working at the behest of April Ryan. She wouldn’t accept this lame excuse from Trump if the shoe was on the other foot.
With good reason.
They deserve to live scared and to sleep with one eye open.
April has clashed with White House staff before, usually over very trivial matters.
Look up Pecan-Pie-Gate.
She called Sarah Sanders a liar about a nicely baked Pecan Pie.
Ryan is a nasty piece of work.
The cnn modern day three stooges.
She threw her bodyguard under the bus. Maybe he'll do everyone a favor and beat her up in reprisal. They deserve each other.
Yes, she is a nasty piece of work and always, ALWAYS, angry.
She took Helen Thomas’ place in that lovely White House Press Club.
I hope she has to use personal money to defend a civil law suit, but CNN would probably foot the bill.
No, she hires someone to take care of your 1st Amendment rights...
Nah a lot of actors and others need it because kooks with no lives become obsessed and stalk or people just smother then period.
You don’t have to be Don Corleone to need a bodyguard.
But if you do get one, make sure it’s not Fredo.
