The White House has banned reporters from the Associated Press from the Oval Office and Air Force One after AP refused to adopt Trump’s new name for the Gulf of Mexico. Last week, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt publicly rebuked the AP.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “If we feel that there are lies being pushed by outlets in this room, we are going to hold those lies accountable. And it is a fact that the body of water off the coast of Louisiana is called the Gulf of America. And I’m not sure why news outlets don’t want to call it that, but that is what it is.”
