White Home communications director Steven Cheung tore right into a reporter from HuffPost who requested why transcripts for a lot of the president’s public remarks aren’t obtainable on the White Home web site.
“You must be truly f–king stupid if you think we’re not transparent,” Cheung bellowed at White Home reporter S.V. Date. “The president regularly does multiple press engagements per day and they are streamed live on multiple platforms.”
Cheung then mocked Date’s left-leaning employer, including: “We’ve even granted low-level outlets like HuffPo [sic] additional access to events, because we’re so transparent. For anyone to think otherwise proves they are suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Stop beclowning yourself.”
The blowback got here after Date penned a bit Thursday claiming that the White Home is protecting the “majority of Trump’s remarks secret.”
The story stated that President Trump made remarks in 146 appearances in his first 100 days in workplace, however solely 29 of these transcripts, or 20%, have been printed.
“Trump aides would not explain their decision to withhold 80% of the transcripts that have been prepared,” Date wrote. “White House communications director Steven Cheung, however, did insult HuffPost for asking the question.”
Date famous that movies of just about all of Trump’s remarks within the aforementioned public settings can be found elsewhere on-line, however these remarks are sometimes not simply searchable — which presumably triggered Cheung’s fiery response.
The White Home flack doesn’t maintain again on journalists. In April, he slammed Each day Beast boss Joanna Coles, who famous Trump’s weight reduction throughout an look on CNN.
Commenting on the president’s look at Pope Francis’ funeral, Coles stated: “Lots of suspicion because he’s lost a lot of weight. Who knows how he’s lost weight? We know that Robert Kennedy Jr., his health minister, doesn’t approve of people taking Ozempic because he thinks it shows a lack of moral power.”
Cheung punched again with an expletive-ridden private assault.
“CNN had this blithering idiot on @InsidePolitics from The Daily Beast named @JoannaColes making unsubstantiated claims about President Trump’s health,” he wrote. “Joanna is a piece of s–t, clearly suffering from a debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome rotting her pea-sized brain.”
