Trumps A.I. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed the Associated Press lied to the administration by not changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America in their reporting and got banned for their judgment.
That is the lie, but that’s what a cult does. It lies to protect itself.
Trump and his ilk do not want free speech, they want MAGA speech only. If you do not comply you will be targeted. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins spoke up.
COLLINS: The argument retaliatory in nature is the argument because the reason that the AP was barred, which they said was because they’re not using the phrase Gulf of America They’re using Gulf of Mexico in line with their standards.
And so the question here is, is this setting a precedent that this White House will retaliate against reporters who don’t use the language that you guys believe reporters should use? And how does that align with the First Amendment commitment that you were just talking about?
LEAVITT: I was very upfront in my briefing on day one that 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.
The AP gave a full description of their decision, but the A.I bot refused to bother finding out what that was.
