President Trump flew aboard Air Force One yesterday to host an airport hangar rally in Freeland, Michigan.

Trump’s hour and fifteen-minute speech drew an estimated crowd of over 5,000 which was documented by Michigan-based New York Times correspondent Kathy Gray:

However, minutes into the rally Gray was removed from the venue by the Trump campaign.

“I’ve been kicked out of the trump [sic] rally,” Gray tweeted.

“First for me: Trump campaign tracked me down from pics i [sic] tweeted and escorted me out,” she continued.

According to Deadline, a source in the Trump campaign claims Gray was not credentialed to cover the event:

Gray had not applied for credentials through the normal process, was in the general audience acting as a reporter. Their rule is that reporters must stay in the designated press area shortly before the president’s arrival and for the duration of his stay. The reporter was told she could stay in the general admission area, but not while reporting, and she declined. The reporter was then asked to leave the event, the source said.

A New York Times spokesperson said in a statement that the publication was “disappointed:

“We’re disappointed that the Trump campaign refused to credential our freelancer and then, when she registered and attended as a member of the public, they ejected her from the event,” a New York Times spokesperson said in a statement. “Our goal is to cover these campaign events and talk to voters about the candidates, and that’s what Kathy was trying to do.”

Trump has often referred to the New York Times as the “failing New York Times” and “Fake News New York Times.”



  1. Aren’t the lefties the ones that love rules to be enforced, or is it like always where woke liberals are exempt from those rules?

    1. LibTards: ‘Do as I SAY, NOT as I DO!!”; and, of course, the ‘I’m ABOVE THE LAW!!!’. We cannot forget the, ‘LET THEM EAT CAKE!’, one either.

  2. She lies. The NYT’s lies. The media, in most all instances, lies.
    They can’t STAND the truth.
    And they can’t stand being ignored, which is what more and more Americans are doing as they see through the NYT’s and the media’s lies.
    Good riddance.
    The stench from their rotting quarters was getting overwhelming.
    The “Old Gray Lady” of fabled past is now the “Dead Old Broad” of today.

  3. well, the press tells another twisted account of a situation where one of their reporters refused to follow the rules and then bitch about it. The press has played a huge part in how divided this country is, and they have fanned the flames of anarchy.

  4. The NYSlimes again shows their fixation for honesty and willingness to subvert norms as a means to further their anti Trump Marxist agenda to elect a puppet president classified by many doctors viewing his performance as suffering early to mid stage dementia if not Alzheimer’s.

  5. She is doing the Antifa work, tweeting to tell the domestic terrorist what’s going on and what to do.
    So when the Trump supporters get out of the rally Antifa is prepared to attack them.

  6. Oh dear, the reporter for fake news did not want to do as all the reporters were requested to do. So again rules for us as in special reporters and fake news outlets and other rules for the rest. Dim wits in all flavors in fake news as well think the rules do not apply to them.

  7. NYT is NOT a LEGITIMATE News Org!! That would be like me stating that I was a 20 y/o Asian male and DEMANDED to be acknowledged as such!! Or, the Moon is made of Blue Cheese and demand that it is designated as such!! LOL

    That being said….. BUH-BYE, hon!!!

    1. Yes the NYSlimes are a part of the propaganda arm of the Democrappy Party PERIOD! That’s the path they’ve chose, so we shouldn’t waste or show any pity on/for them AND this is also true for the anti-America terrorist rioters lawless Democraps in these hot spot Sanctuary cities and states!!!!

    2. and their TV program is nothing but LIES and demo-communist propaganda, A Television TERRORIST PROGRAM, with sponsorship from SOROS,obama-clinton and DNC-CP.

  8. Trump gave this lamo governor everything he asked for to fight this virus. The government even made a hospital for them and sent that great medical ship to the city. Cumo and the Bozo mayor of NYC are killing a great state and city. The idiot praised our president just a month ago but its election time. These LIBERALS are going to destroy all our great cities. Wake up people !!! VOTE CONSERVATIVE

  9. Democrat, fake news, reporter refuses to follow the rules, what a surprise!!! She was allowed to stay and listen but she refused! Another fake news scumbag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. The NYT is TOAST. Only liars lie. And they’ve gotten VERY good at it. I’m surprised they still have readers, but then there are lots of people who love lies and liars. Apparently enough to keep the Times in business.

  11. You are just another commie, you are not practicing freedom of speech, you are just exercising being a ignoramus……..comrade troll! 👉🖤

  12. Unfortuately, this woman didn’t follow the rules. She was told she could remain in the general area, just not as a reporter. She declined to do that, so she brought her ejection upon herself. JMO

  13. Every one on Planet earth, knows well, any reporter attending a political event, cannot and will not be John Q. Public and forget he or she is a reporter. The proof is, after telling her she could attend, but not as a reporter, she left. Trump officials knew this. And no one missed her.

  14. Back in the 60’s,l I was associated with the New York Times and it didn’t take long to realize just what a RAG it is! How the articles and editorials were “slanted” to fit their own agenda!!! I got out quick and haven’t touched a NYT since! THIS was a fitting response to one of their “reporters”, freelance or not!!! Maybe NOW the American public will realize just HOW slanted their so-called ‘reporting’ is!!!

  15. When the leader of the Dem party, cult leader Pelosi, doesn’t follow the rules (hair appointment one example) can any liberal commie be expected to? They all feel entitled and are above following rules………rules are for us, Republicans, in the Dems marxist minds! Throwing this NYT liar out is exactly what should have been done…..and I noticed her employer, practiced poor parenting by lying and covering for her! Disgusting haters!

  16. I’m proud of President Trump and love it when he exercises his fight against the fake news lying media. It would be okay if they’d cover him truthfully, honestly and fairly, but we all know that has not been happening instead they’ve had an agenda and the truth be damned and journalistic integrity as well and have shown they will not let the truth get in their way! MAGA 2020 and beyond!!

  17. That reporter (?) was looking for a “gotcha” question from the crowd. Then wanted a blockbuster story. SOS, different day. Now let’s talk about masks. The Doctor world has put out so much garbage that nobody knows what is right. Then we have this problem not discussed; who owns the body? The way government at all levels is working they seem to think they own it. Thus you must follow their orders (not suggestions…orders). My take is if you have faith in a mask by all means wear one. Afraid of the crowd don’t go or take precautions that you think will work. Freedom is complicated just like religion. You are free to worship in your way but not at the trashing of another’s religious choice. In a free society you get to do about anything (common sense applied) as long as you do not harm or restrict another’s same freedom. As stated by many, freedom is not free but it is precious and must be applied by all to keep it that way.

  18. So basically they were trying to bend the rules again by putting a fake reporter in general admission. How sad that we can’t trust MSM at all.

  19. “She wasn’t credentialed to cover the rally“ So what is new? The looney left thinks the rules do not apply to them!!! They think this, because they get away with too much criminal behavior.

    1. globalist puppet $oro$, puppet barry soetoro appointed all the correct criminals to the correct positions to protect all the criminals .

  20. Poor New York Times, so disappointed that they have to follow the rules like everyone else under Trump’s presidency. They are so used to being a little more equal than others.

  21. Kick all the globalists scum and globalist puppet $oro$ scum and globalist puppet democrat criminal party scum and globalist puppet rino criminal party scum and globalist media scum that disrupt the events out !

  22. Democrat arrogance on display again. They are certain that they are way too important to have rules apply to them. The deplorables of course must have oppressive and strict political rules applied to them because they are dumb evil and racist and they don’t help destroy Democrat run cities.

  23. That reporter wasn’t there to report news. She was there as an armor the Democrat party to find something bad about what Trump had to say. And if he didn’t say something bad, she would twist something to make it sound that way. Kick her the hell out for good!

  24. Your so called reporters aren’t there to tell the truth, they’re there to critize, and twist everything in the negative! I keep wondering when this rag of a newspaper gets shutdown

  25. Rules and regulations? Not for the left! They break Laws and rules and then call out the bad bad people for enforcing them, I’ve had the same problems with my children until they matured.

  26. We have rules and regulations for a reason. Even though she was a “free lancer”, she needed to follow the same procedures required of the accredited press or suffer the consequences. She is a prime example of millennial entitlement, the philosophy of which is ” we can’t be told what to do!”. Well, the rude awakening is communism DOES order you to do whatever and you will do it or you maybdie.

  27. The people who work for NYT, WP, CNN, MSNBC, etc. are not reporters or journalists. They are propagandists. They distort, censor, and fabricate information. These organizations have abandoned truth and their status as “reporters” and “journalists” should be revoked. They should not be given access until they can demonstrate they are trustworthy and honest.

  28. EVERY time the Media gets in the mix, they screw things up! They are nothing but RABLE ROUSERS! They want drama and conflict! They are NOT here or anywhere to report truth and Facts, they are here to convince people to go w/what they preach, and to act according to what the Media wants! 2 Corinthians 4:4/Ephesians 2:2 KJV A direct reference to the media and who the media has for a :HEAD!” “the god” of this world, and the “prince of the power of this world.” That would be Satan as per Mat 4:8-10 KJV This world in it’s gov’t and principalities and economic systems, belongs to Satan and he controls the same! NOW you know!!

  29. that reporter needs to be dismissed…she didn’t comply and expected to be ok …then got herself certified and tried to get in but she was escorted out….red flag…out of the game for a few…get the hint comply to rules or laws like everyone else or pay the price

  30. She wasn’t credentialed so what gives her the right to b in the area designated for reporters and (b) what gives her the right to “act” like a reporter when in the area for the general public. It’s that simple. Proof she blatantly thinks she can do whatever she wants and not play by the rules The arrogance!!!!! why we are so fed up with reporters

  31. All she had to do was follow the rules for Reporters. She chose NOT to…so she got booted. It was the right thing to do!! The MEDIA thinks WAY too much of themselves and need to be restrained!!

  32. The issue is that she is CREDENTIALED by a specific agency that is registered and agrees to follow specific rules and guidelines in exchange for attendance. That agency will only be allowed to have a certain number of reporters in an event. That is rational and equitable. The fact that the NYT sent her into the attendees to act as a reporter should have caused a FINE against the NYT as well as a fine against her (say 10,000 each).
    SCOTUS has pretty much ruled that ANY person with a camera, recorder and a platform to send information IS a reporter. Therefore anyone in the crowd who is NOT credentialed by a major paper can broadcast legally and without recourse in general. Even freelance who are registered with the federal government or applied for press pass must obey the rules.
    I say that the NYT and this reporter need to be fined $10,000 each for attempting to violate the rules regarding major media attendance and should be excluded from future attendance for a specified time.
