Cowardly White House Reporters Refuse to Sanction Trump Over Bans

The WHCA’s statement on President Donald Trump’s ban did not exactly go over well online, with journalists, members of the public, and political leaders taking to social media to demand a broader White House boycott.

Many critics brought up the predictable danger of a press corps too close to—or too intimidated by—the president after hobnobbing with Trump at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, even as he insulted the media.
