TRUMP CAMPAIGN FOLLOWS THE HILLARY PRECEDENT FOR HANDLING UNRULY JOURNALISTS. Naturally, the Washington Post sniffs, “Trump campaign hassles CNN journalist for doing his job:”
After CNN reporter Noah Gray left “the pen” to document a group of protesters who unveiled a sign reading “Migrant lives matter,” Trump’s campaign manager Corey Lewandowski turned to campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks and said: “Hey: Tell Noah, get back in the pen or he’s f—— blacklisted,” according to a recording of the incident.
As Gray went into the crowd to film reaction to the sign, which had already been taken down, Lewandowski confronted him directly: “Inside the pen, or I will pull your credentials. Media goes in the pen.” Lewandowski at first said the order was because of security, but then said: “I’m telling you. I’m telling you. Media stays in the pen.”
Funny, the media didn’t look too upset in July, when Hillary kept them in the pen.
And speaking of hecklers, Trump himself seems pretty nonplussed by them…
