Donald Trump’s campaign barred a Politico reporter from covering the candidate’s presser Tuesday night at his private Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, according to a new report from the publication.
It is the latest in the saga between the media and Trump’s campaign, following allegations that the GOP frontrunner’s campaign manager threw former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields nearly to the ground last week.
According to Politico, Trump’s campaign sent an email to reporter Ben Schreckinger confirming his press credentials for the event, only to quickly email back saying that he was denied entry. Schreckinger later was barred from entering the ballroom and was led off of the site.
Schreckinger has regularly covered Trump, and most recently penned a piece that relied on many anonymous sources who painted campaign manager Corey Lewandowski as aggressive presence both on the campaign trail and in his previous work in politics. Lewandowski and the Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment on the story.
Corey Lewandowski is working hard to figure out how to grab someone through their email server.
That does it. Even if Ryan and the GOP go for this guy at the Convention, there is about as much “pivot” to Trump as a welded bolt.
The only unknown will be the amount of broken dreams, broken hearts and pig-sty behaviour from August to November caused by this worm of a man.

Having a hard time feeling sorry for the press.
They seem so desperate to cover Trump ! This guy gets an email saying you’re not welcome, yet shows up at the event anyway. Another journalist was on the radio talking about how she’s been banned from all events, yet she shows up at the rallies, stands in line and ducks and dodges Trump’s people, hoping to not be recognized. And she was actually laughing like Trump camp were the dumb ones!
Trump does this shit because he knows he can get away with it.
ohhhhh such a tough guy. I heard Meliane questioned him and offered advice.
Now he’s looking through the mail order bride catalog once again.
Another Barred incident coming to you from Mr. great
