The White House press office on Friday evening announced new rules to yank reporters’ press badges.
“Absent security concerns involving the United States Secret Service or other exigent circumstances, the White House will provide a written warning to you if your conduct violates these expectations. Subsequent violations may lead to the suspension or revocation of your hard pass, following notice and an opportunity to respond.”
Journalists must also be assigned to regularly cover the White House, submit to a background check and have “[a]ccreditation by a press gallery in either the Supreme Court, U.S. Senate or U.S. House of Representatives.” The rules usher in a new era by closing a legal loophole that shielded journalists from retribution in the past., “How can a guy come from Africa and you have to change the rules because of him?”
Karem in 2019 had his badge suspended by the Trump White House for 30 days following heated words with Trump ally Sebastian Gorka in the Rose Garden, in which Gorka called Karem a “punk” and Karem said, “we can go outside and have a long conversation.” order and decorum at White House events by, for example, ordering the immediate removal of rogue, mooning journalists,”“We hold only that to ‘punish’ Karem… the White House was required to provide fair notice of ‘the magnitude of the sanction that . . . might [be] impose[d],’ …. [and] the White House may promulgate such sanctions any time it wishes, but, until then, due process precludes the White House from ‘punish[ing]’ Karem as it did here,” the ruling said.
“If you’re banning reporters because you don’t like their questions or you think they’re rude, then that’s a problem. And they’ll lose.”
