前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯抨击特朗普总统限制白宫媒体准入的做法，暗示如果他不希望记者审视其政府，就应该辞职。她周二在演员凯克·帕尔默的播客节目《宝贝，这就是凯克·帕尔默》的采访中说：“如果你想在暗处做事，那你为什么不直接离开白宫呢？”特朗普在九月份禁止CNN、MSNBC和Politico进入白宫综合体，并吊销了这些媒体记者的硬通行证，称该禁令是他们“不断‘报道’假新闻！”的结果。
Former Vice President Kamala Harris ripped President Trump over his restrictions on White House press access, suggesting he should resign from office if he does not want journalists to scrutinize his administration. “If you want to do things in secret, then why don’t you just leave the White House?”Harris said Tuesday in an interview with actor Keke Palmer on her podcast, “Baby, This is Keke Palmer.”Trump barred CNN, MS NOW and Politico from accessing the White House complex and revoked their journalists' hard passes in September, claiming the ban was a “result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!”
哈里斯表示：“这表明白宫现任主人的自我意识如此脆弱，以至于作为美国总统，他无法容忍主要新闻机构倾听他的言论和观察他的行为。”她继续说道：“如果你无法忍受人们观察你的行为和聆听你的言论，那就不得不问——你到底在做什么？”该禁令引发了主要电视网络——ABC、CBS、CNN、NBC和福克斯新闻——的法律斗争和抗议，这些媒体暂时拒绝提供总统的池报道，以示团结。
“It shows the extent to which the current occupant of the White House has such a fragile ego that he can’t, as president of the United States, tolerate major news outlets listening to what he’s saying and watching what he’s doing,” Harris said. She continued, “If you can’t stand people to watch what you’re doing and listen to what you’re saying, one has to ask — what are you doing?”The ban prompted a legal battle and protests from major television networks — ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News — who temporarily refused to provide pool coverage of the president in solidarity.
白宫还阻止CNN和Politico参与空军一号上的计划采访池任务。美国地方法院法官蒂莫西·凯利（特朗普任命）周二作出裁决，支持新闻媒体，并在访问权限诉讼进行期间延长对特朗普禁令的临时禁令，认定吊销这些媒体的资质可能侵犯了其宪法权利。哈里斯在2024年总统大选中败给特朗普，她认为这些限制反映出试图使政府免受公众审视的努力。
The White House has also blocked CNN and Politico from participating in scheduled press pool assignments aboard Air Force One. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, issued an order Tuesday siding with the news outlets and extending a temporary injunction on Trump’s ban while the lawsuit over access proceeds, finding that revoking the outlets’ credentials likely violated their constitutional rights. Harris, who lost to Trump in the 2024 presidential election, argued the restrictions reflect an effort to shield the administration from public scrutiny.
她说：“显然，他害怕美国人民通过记者和媒体看到太多、了解太多，从而认识到该政府正在暴露出的无能、残忍和腐败，而这让他们感到害怕。”
“It is clear that he is afraid that the American people, through journalists and the media, will see too much and know the incompetence, the cruelty, and the corruption that is coming out of that administration, and that scares them,” she said.
