Obama had a transgender illegal alien activist thrown out of the White House, and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer gushed with admiration.

But when a CNN journalist is informed she will be barred from a Rose Garden event because she refused to stop shouting questions at President Trump in the Oval Office after the event had concluded, apparently the end of democracy is near.… or something.

And earlier that year, Kredo was kicked out of a Iran nuke deal briefing in Vienna, Austria, by the State Dept. who objected to his presence even though Austria had given him a credential.
