BREAKING: Bill Clinton slams Trump for attacking the free press — says that there were "lots of times" when he would have loved to ban reporters because he was "pissed off" but he's glad he didn't try it.
Nobody criticizes a President better than another President...
“I got news for the people who work in the White House today. There were lots of times when I wanted to ban the White House press corps,” Clinton said at the Clinton Global Initiative 2026 summit. “And there’s a reason we have a Constitution. Because none of us are immune from being pissed off.”
"But I’m glad I never did, and I’m glad I couldn’t. And these people shouldn’t. The law should be what it is,” he added.
Trump recently tried to ban CNN, POLITICO, and MS NOW from the White House for allegedly spreading "fake news," which really just means news that Trump dislikes. The outlets quickly sued over the blatant violation of the First Amendment, and the judge forced Trump to restore the reporters' access because the administration violated due process.
But even though he failed, the fact that Trump would even attempt something like this should infuriate every patriotic American. This man has zero respect for our Constitution and would gleefully strip away our rights if he could get away with it.
Don't you think Biden would have loved to ban the media when they were attacking his son Hunter over invented crimes? Or that Clinton would have loved to do it at the height of the Monica Lewinsky scandal? Or Obama during any of the endless faux outrage news like the now-infamous tan suit incident? None of them tried it because, despite whatever flaws they may have had, they fundamentally believe in this country and in the First Amendment. Trump does not.
