Beto O'Rourke's presidential campaign removed a Breitbart News reporter from a campaign event in South Carolina on Tuesday, saying that while it believed in the right to a free press it was drawing an exception with the right-wing outlet.
“Beto for America believes in the right to a free press and works hard to ensure the campaign reflects that,” O’Rourke’s national press secretary Aleigha Cavalier said in a statement.
“However, whether it’s dedicating an entire section of their website to ‘black crime,’ inferring that immigrants are terrorists, or using derogatory terms to refer to LGBTQ people, Breitbart News walks the line between being news and a perpetrator of hate speech.”

"A staff member in a Beto O’Rourke t-shirt approached this reporter and asked what outlet I represented," Pollak wrote. "Upon reading the press credential on my chest, he put a hand on my shoulder and said, cheerfully, 'Oh, hey. All right.'"
"A few minutes later, before the event began, a campus police officer approached this reporter and motioned for me to accompany him to the back of the room, adding that I should bring any property I had with me," Pollak wrote. "In the hallway outside, he informed me that I was to leave.

Aleigha Cavalier needs to learn the difference between “infer” and “imply”.
Two part reply: 1) demand they scan the O’Rourke people with a Hypocrisy Detector and 2) Make Acosta cover the results for a news feature.
Wow. Wait till he gets elected President and ban Fox News and The Hill. Fortunately, that will be never.
“However = but”,everything before that is a lie.

Do they have a problem with the New York Times and its clearly anti-semitic editor? No, and that shows who they really are.
Huh?!?
However, whether it’s dedicating an entire section of their website to ‘black crime,’
Huh?!?
= = =
It is probably just the ‘crime’ section.
But if you focus on the color . . .

Guy is a super reporter. This is straight-up fascism.
Beto’s press secretary is “cavalier”? Priceless.
