Mitch McConnell Blocks Reporters From Shooting Video Of House Impeachment Managers


Mitch McConnell wouldn’t allow reporters inside the Senate chamber and refused to allow reporters to shoot video of the House managers entering and exiting.

Here is the latest attempt by McConnell to limit coverage of Trump’s impeachment trial:

@AndrewDesiderio

More ridiculous press restrictions on Capitol Hill today.

Reporters are being blocked from accessing the Senate chamber during the impeachment managers’ walk-through this morning. TV cameras aren’t allowed to shoot any video outside the Senate chamber as the managers enter/exit.

McConnell’s blackout and media restrictions on Trump’s impeachment trial are a trashing of press freedom to protect Donald Trump. The Senate Majority Leader doesn’t want the American people to see what is going on at Trump’s trial.

McConnell has limited access to the Senate jurors, banned reporters from bringing electronic devices into the chamber during the trial, and done everything in his power to limit what the public will be able to see, hear, and read about the impeachment trial.


The Senate Majority is following Trump’s lead and restricting press freedom during a historic event in the nation’s history. McConnell is doing everything in his power to sweep Trump’s trial under the rug, but the information will get out, as Mitch McConnell can’t hide Trump’s true crimes and impeachable offenses.

We must be in the streets to show the Senate that we mean business and if they are going to be part of the coverup, there will be legal charges against many and they will all be ousted in November.

Also. scream bloody murder at you Sec of State officials in your state to demand paper ballots.

It's our turn to his the streets, every fucking day! I'll be out there in my own little parade even if it gets me kicked out of town.
