WTF is wrong with Meghan McCain? She cries every time Trump disparages her dead father then turns around and parrots the same vile, undemocratic attacks on everyone who is not her father, validating the rot that consumes her party.

<This is, of course, a rhetorical question.>

According to the Washington Post:

Courtney Parella, a deputy national press secretary for the Trump campaign, told Business Insider that Gray was not credentialed as a reporter for the event and could have stayed if she stopped acting like a reporter.

“Kathy wasn’t credentialed as press and was acting like press in general admission,” Parella said. “Staff informed her if she wanted to stay as press, she had to apply for credentials. She was also offered to stay as a guest of the event if she didn’t act as press, but chose to continue to do so [and] therefore she was asked to leave.”

Doesn’t anyone with a phone “act as press” now?

Everything is normal. Presidents always encouraged their audiences to physically harm the press. Clinton did it all the time.
The press might just be starting to learn that if they give the bully their lunch money, he’ll still beat them up and want it the next day too.
