So, out of their Acosta nonsense, the White House has made it a punishable violation for anyone to say “could you please address the specific question I asked,” “could you please provide an example,” or “that’s actually not true” without their permission?
Yes, they’re specifically saying that asking an unapproved follow-up question may result in the suspension or revocation of a reporter’s White House pass.
This has basically been standard procedure - don’t hog the mic, don’t ask a bunch of questions if the president wants to move on - but there hasn’t been a rule saying that asking a second question they didn’t approve is punishable by being kicked out of the White House forever.
