The free speech campaign

The Trump campaign is withdrawing press credentials from outlets in retaliation for publishing accurate stories about it:
With hours until the polls close, the Trump campaign is punishing reporters over critical stories either they or their outlets have written in recent days.
Politico had three reporters and a photographer credentialed for the campaign’s watch party in Palm Beach, Florida. But on Tuesday, according to a source, Politico learned they’d been barred from the event over a story that Politico Magazine had published a day earlier, by a freelancer, about a white nationalist who had worked on the Trump campaign in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania GOP fired the staffer after learning about the views he had expressed under an online alias.
On Saturday, Axios reporter Sophia Cai was informed that she would not be credentialed for the campaign’s Election Night watch party, according to another source familiar. (Cai had been credentialed to cover campaign events throughout October.) This news came hours after she published a story about Trump’s anxiety in the final stretch.
The campaign also blew up Tara Palmeri’s plans. The Puck reporter was planning to broadcast live from the campaign’s Florida headquarters for an Amazon special, but campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita had other ideas, writing in a post on X last Thursday that she was “DENIED credentials to enter Mar-a-lago to cover election night due to her ‘proclivity’ to write bullshit. well well well.” Palmeri was previously denied access to Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally but had “received assurances from the Trump campaign” that she would “be permitted to broadcast from the campaign’s Election Night party,” Status’ Oliver Darcy reported.
Of course, one problem with having reporters around is that they might ask you uncomfortable questions about your support for pregnant women dying of sepsis after being turned away from emergency rooms:
Q: I want to ask about you voting for Florida’s 6-week abortion ban…
Trump: Just stop talking about that https://t.co/xMK1rhgfL4 pic.twitter.com/HNjM2MBbbq— Kamala HQ (@KamalaHQ) November 5, 2024
If there’s somebody in your life you know doesn’t think 12-year-olds should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and you can remind to vote today…
