JD Vance Breaks Out the Puppets and Crayons Explaining Trump's 'Ban' to Fussy Reporter (Watch)

We can't help but love this clip of Vice President JD Vance doing what the press corps hates most: drawing a straight line between “you can still report” and “you’re not entitled to a desk inside the building.”

The man loves making them look even dumber than usual and of course, he never holds back.

After President Trump pulled hard passes for CNN, MS NOW, and Politico, Vance told reporters the administration isn’t shuttering newsrooms — it’s simply declining to keep handing special West Wing access to outlets it says traffic in propaganda. The networks are already suing and the pool is threatening to sit on its hands.

We suspect they’ll survive the walk from the gate to the briefing room.

Watch:

.@VP: "He's not banning media outlets. What he's doing is saying we're not going to give you special access to the White House if you engage in what is effectively propaganda." 💯 https://t.co/H0GMoO7uV5 pic.twitter.com/BZpnS4pA4l

BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE.

.@VP: "They can still report on the Trump White House. They can still get the public reports. They can still, of course, talk to people in the Administration and outside the Administration. What @POTUS said is we're not going to give you special access inside the White House." https://t.co/ilCnbRPR1O pic.twitter.com/3MA3OLeSIr
