White House Correspondents’ Association President Jacqui Heinrich urged President Donald Trump to immediately scrap his ban against CNN, Politico, and MS NOW, arguing it “violates” the First Amendment and hurts the American public.

Heinrich called on Trump to end the ban in a Saturday statement, one day after the president announced he was barring the three outlets from the White House. The Trump Admin followed through with the plan on Saturday morning by blocking the outlets from the White House grounds.

“Today’s action revoking access for journalists from CNN, POLITICO, and MSNOW violates the First Amendment,” Heinrich said in response. “The implications extend beyond these organizations: a standard used to exclude one news outlet because of its coverage could be applied to any outlet in the future. The American people, through a free and independent press, must be able to scrutinize those elected to power, regardless of whether government officials view it favorably.”

She added, “That’s why courts have repeatedly held that once the White House provides access to journalists, it cannot deny that access arbitrarily or based on the content of their reporting. The WHCA calls on the administration to immediately restore our colleagues’ access.”

Heinrich is a senior White House correspondent for Fox News and co-hosts The Sunday Briefing on the channel along with Peter Doocy. She replaced CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang as WHCA head honcho in Mid-July, one week before the rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner took place; the initial dinner in April was sabotaged by a shooter storming the Washington, D.C. venue and attempting to kill Trump and several members of his administration.

It’s worth pointing out Trump has bashed Heinrich a few times this year, like in March when he complained she was doing an “absolutely terrible” job. The president later said at the WHCD she was “so beautiful,” but also “so nasty” — which Heinrich responded to with a big shrug.

Heinrich called for Trump to end the press ban around the same time MS NOW chief national reporter Peter Alexander argued on air the president issued the ban to “rile up” his MAGA base and distract them from the many “failures” of his second term.
