What has also received air time? The "Official USA 45th Presidential Hat," for sale by Trump's campaign for $40.

The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, points out that the president has been pictured wearing the hat, both in red and in white, in two official photos released by the White House. He wore the white version on his trip to Houston Tuesday.

"Even removed from the hurricane, it's pretty inappropriate," CREW spokesman Jordan Libowitz said. The issue at play here is free advertising for Trump products, according to CREW.

Maybe the media will take to doing what MTV and other networks do and video blur/airbrush the logos and labels.

Odd isn’t it to have a President who loves the USA and it’s people?

These Trump haters are really some kind of crap.
The f-ing magic negro could do no wrong in their eyes and The Donald can do no right.

I thought it was satire but then I saw it was CNN. Oh well, I guess it is satire, only involuntary.

Globalists believe nationalism (pride in your country, trying to protect your borders and having your own citizens prosper) is the enemy.

That’s what destroying statues, American history, etc. is all about. They want us to hate our own country and give in to global control by something like the EU or UN.

Trump’s pride in our country is offensive to these traitors and their pawns in the MSM.

I believe that this organization CREW is the same one as directed by Media Matters, that perverted Pizzagate gay man with the strange gray hair, who had a heart attack 6 months ago.

What Obama’s Former Ethics Counsel Thinks of Trump

Spoiler: He thinks Trump’s actions are illegal, and he’s suing him.

By Dahlia Lithwick and Camille Mott

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/jurisprudence/2017/05/obama_s_former_ethics_counsel_is_suing_trump.html

n late April, government watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington expanded its lawsuit against President Donald Trump to include two new parties who have allegedly been harmed by Trump’s continued interests in his business enterprises. On this week’s edition of Amicus, Dahlia Lithwick sat down with Norm Eisen, former ethics counsel to President Obama and co-founder of CREW...

https://www.citizensforethics.org/press-release/crew-and-obama-administration-reach-historic-settlement-on-visitor-records/

Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, the Obama administration and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) settled four ongoing cases regarding public access to White House visitor records. The most significant development, however, is the commitment by the Obama administration to affirmatively post visitor records online on an ongoing basis, bringing a historic level of transparency to the White House.

CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan praised the White House, stating, “The Obama administration has proven its pledge to usher in a new era of government transparency was more than just a campaign promise. The Bush administration fought tooth and nail to keep secret the identities of those who visited the White House. In contrast, the Obama administration – by putting visitor records on the White House web site – will have the most open White House in history. Because visitor records will now be available online, CREW dismissed its lawsuits.” Sloan continued, “Providing public access to visitor records is an important step in restoring transparency and accountability to our government. CREW is proud to have been part of this historic decision.”

Yesterday’s agreement stems from lawsuits CREW filed after the Bush and later the Obama administration refused to provide White House visitor records in response to CREW’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Visitor records are created by the Secret Service as part of its statutory responsibility to protect the president, vice president, their residences, and the White House generally.

In lawsuits for records of visits by Christian conservative leaders and lobbyist Stephen Payne, the Bush administration argued the records were presidential records, not agency records of the Secret Service, and therefore exempt from the FOIA’s mandatory disclosure requirements. U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth disagreed, ruling twice that the records are subject to the FOIA and not within any of the claimed exemptions. The government appealed those decisions to the District of Columbia Circuit Court.

After President Obama took office, CREW sought records of visits to the White House by health care and coal executives to determine the degree of their influence on health care and energy legislative proposals. The government initially refused to turn over these records, but now has agreed to produce them, as well as the Bush era records, as part of the settlement. In turn, CREW has agreed to dismiss all the pending litigation.


Obambi never did release his full visitor logs. After the exposure that William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, and others visited (we were told they were other people with those names) they locked down the info.

But sure Obambi can “settle” with his pals and expose the previous administration’s logs.

Since when is a cap with ‘USA’ a campaign hat? The resist movement are offending so many people to criticize our American President for wearing a USA cap.
If he wore a ‘MAGA” hat but even then so what.

“The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW”

Ethics!? Crew is a left wing Democrat front group. They have no ethics or standards. Unless you count double standards.

Same old story.

Some acronym group drafts a position the legacy media agrees with.

Group faxes a position paper to legacy media office.

Legacy media airs it as news.

If he had worn a hat that said "Black Lives Matter" or "America Sucks," these same poltroons wouldn't have had a word to say about it.

And this tempest in a teapot ranks right up there in importance with Melania's choice of footwear.
