1/ Sorry. Nice words here. But Zeke's predecessors and the WHCA as an institution, from Trump's firsts day in office failed to fight to preserve this access - and worse often actively enabled Trump undermining it.

2/ When Trump started to boot some outlets from briefings, instead of emphasizing solidarity and nipping it in the bud; they basically ignored it.
3/ The WHCA literally put out statements at one point heralding Trump as the "most accessible" president ever. Not only was the statement absurd, but also false.
4/ I could go on too. But the bottom line is, this is way too little, way too late.
What the WHCA did in those early days of Trump's admin very much helped get to this point and a few statements won't do anything to fix the damage the WHCA did by their lack of action & enabling.
