Attorney General Todd Blanche's claims to ABC News that certain media outlets have become a national security threat in their reporting on the Trump administration fell flat and sounded moronic in his defense of Trump's media ban.
Even after the judge issued a temporary restraining order on Trump's ban of MS NOW, CNN, and Politico, Trump barred CNN from flying on Air Force One. When host Martha Raddatz called him out on it, Blanche got angry.
The ABC host described Trump's disregard to the First Amendment and said he has "denied access." This upset the AG, complaining it was not the right way to describe it.
Rewriting what Trump says is one of his prime functions as AG.
"What I'm talking about is the government's position and what the Department of Justice said in court, which is the same thing that President Trump has said repeatedly, which is at some point, at some point, the complete misinformation and the inaccuracy and the one-sided news out of certain organizations does become a national security issue and it's not right for the people of the United States to have to put up with it," Blanche said.
It's not the country that is upset with accurate reporting, it's Vonshitzhispants.
RADDATZ: So are you saying you're going to screen people before they get on a flight coming to the White House?
BLANCHE: I did not say that. No, no. I did not say that.
RADDATZ: But you said the President gets to decide.
BLANCHE: Don't get to put words in my mouth.
