Posted on 04/01/2020 9:42:35 PM PDT by map

"We are writing to inform you that the WHCA Board has voted this evening to remove a news outlet from the rotation for a seat in the briefing room. We did this because a report for this outlet twice attended press briefings in contravention of this policy. ... We do not take this action lightly. This is a matter of public safety."

Proof to me that China Collusion is working because the MSM feels emboldened to throw their weight around again at the White House.

Actually she did break the seating rules. If they aren’t appointed a seat (according to the White House rotation for reporters)then they are told not to attend. She wasn’t on the schedual and twice stood in the back of the room....so basically she jumped the line as well as didn’t comply with safety rules.

She owns this removal....

Thanks for listing the officers and Board Members. That explains a lot.

Retribution will be harsh after Trump wins the election. I hope!

Well first she didn't comply with the safety distance required plus she basically jumped the line of the seated rotation. And further they were told if not an assigned seat not to attend by standing in the back of the room and she did just that twice.

Additionally she is not part of the WH staff reporters, she was a guest... so yes, she was at fault in more ways than one.

Oddly enough I noted she wasn't seated and stood back there asking her questions. I just thought she was probably late getting there.

“I’m surprised they didn’t gas her on her way out.”

They may have.... in a Monty Python sort of way.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. Jobs have been interrupted, but pay has not.

Acosta is welcome but AON not? The president really needs to kick out all the people who work against the US

Guests still need to comply with the safety distance...she didn’t.

No one jumped the line. Several reporters were called on more than once. Trump singled her out and he knows who she is.

The briefing room could use a few more OAN type reporters and a lot less of the “club.”

She complied with the distance. The association objected to a violation their occupancy regulation.

I saw John Roberts, FNC, standing less than two feet from a colleague minutes before the Show began. This was an excuse.

I realize that but there are rules of seating and she bypassed these on her own. If it had been a CNN Correspondent they also have to abide to the safety policy. She didn’t...And when I stated she jumped the line I meant she was not assigned a seat, nor was she suppose to be standing in the back which they were ‘all’ told not to attend unless assigned a seat.

The idea was to prevent the jamming of reporters who generally stand wall to wall in the back during briefings ,because of the coronavirus thaey were not to do this.

Yep!

THIS IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OR THE WHITE HOUSE!

She is a brave woman.

Did I mention that she's beautiful too?

She had the audacity to mention (1) reporters lying to their readers about what President Trump said and (2) time brought up unborn babies still being slaughtered as “essential businesses!

White House correspondents routinely observe all rules and the “board” always disciplines every minor violations by PBS, CNN, etc.

The long knives have been out for OAN for the last week, especially after Chanel asked the question about abortion the other day.
