An apparently angry President Donald Trump tweeted Saturday morning that two prestigious Washington Post writers should be prohibited from entering White House grounds due to what he called their “DISGUSTING & FAKE” reporting.
Philip Rucker, the paper’s Washington bureau chief and Ashley Parker, a White House reporter for the paper were singled out in a tweet in which the president also retweeted his own earlier tweet of an op-ed by White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham and Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley titled “The Washington Post’s Lost Summer” published in the Washington Examiner refuting a story the duo wrote about Trump’s tumultuous summer. “The Washington Post’s @PhilipRucker (Mr. Off the Record) & @AshleyRParker, two nasty lightweight reporters, shouldn’t even be allowed on the grounds of the White House because their reporting is so DISGUSTING & FAKE,” the president tweeted.
The White House has revoked press passes before. CNN’s Jim Acosta and Playboy reporter Brian Karem have both had their passes temporarily revoked.
