Reporter Kicked Out of Trump Event
/
A Politico Reporter who was covering a political rally for Kim Jong-un.....errrrrrr.... Donald Trump was escorted out for reporting at the event without the campaign’s permission.
The nerve of that Reporter!
A campaign staffer spotted the reporter typing on a laptop outside of the press pen at the San Jose Convention Center and asked the reporter, who was attending on a general admission ticket, if he had press credentials. The Trump campaign has refused to credential the reporter for multiple events.
The staffer said he would consult with his superiors and returned minutes later with a private security officer who instructed the reporter to leave the premises, escorting him out a nearby exit.
“The campaign is not aware of the incident or any details pertaining to it and therefore cannot comment,” wrote campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks in an email. She added that the campaign is “looking into it.”
