White House Press Assistant Ellie Acra jabbed back at liberal journalist Aaron Rupar on Tuesday, two days after he branded her a “blonde Trump flunkie” for shooing away journalists from President Donald Trump.
“BREAKING: I am a press wrangler actually wrangling!” Acra posted on X.
She was responding to a clip Rupar shared on Sunday, where Acra was seen telling reporters they were finished speaking with the president because he was about to board his flight back from Ireland. The C-SPAN clip showed Acra repeatedly thanking reporters but telling them they were done asking questions, all while Trump spoke to his family a few feet away.
“Sorry, that’s what I’m told to do,” she was heard saying. “You have to go. Press! Thank you, thank you.”
But Rupar felt she was a bit too aggressive, apparently.
He captioned the clip, “Another blonde Trump flunkie starts literally shoving photographers away from Trump.”
The clip only showed Acra’s head, so it’s unclear if she was “literally shoving” people away, as he claimed.
Before Acra’s response on Tuesday, several reporters from right-leaning outlets and other White House officials came to her defense and bashed Rupar.
The Daily Wire reporter Mary Margaret Olohan called Rupar’s post “ignorant” and “misogynistic,” and Fox News reporter Peter D’Abrosca scoffed at his complaint, saying Acra’s “job is literally to wrangle the press.”
Rupar is one of the top accounts on X when it comes to clipping videos of Trump and other politicians.
The self-described “lifelong liberal Democrat” was dubbed “the man who watches Trump all day, every day” in an April profile by The New York Times, which reported he spends 80 hours a week monitoring the president. Rupar has made no secret to his 1.1 million followers that he loathes Trump , including in a post earlier this year when he called the president a “demented old man.”
His beef with Acra comes on the heels of the White House ripping Rupar for his “creepy” posts about Trump’s executive aide Natalie Harp.
