White House Spokesman: AP 'Weaponizing Language'

White House Spokesman: AP ‘Weaponizing Language’

The Associated Press is objecting to President Donald Trump and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s criticisms and reduction of press gaggle invitations, but the White House spokesman rebukes its widespread “weaponizing language” for leftist ideology.

“This isn’t just about the Gulf of America,” White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich told Axios. “This is about AP weaponizing language through their stylebook to push a partisan worldview in contrast with the traditional and deeply held beliefs of many Americans and many people around the world.”

After the AP refused to accept Trump’s presidential decree renaming the Gulf of America, Trump and his White House communications team did not invite AP reporters into future Oval Office executive order signings, where Trump has been giving 20-30 minutes of off-the-cuff remarks to reporters.
