Newt Gingrich Begs Trump To End Press Briefings: Why Hang Out With People Who Despise You? [VIDEO]

And of course, Hannity agrees. The Hill reports:



Former Speaker Newt Gingrich is urging President Trump to follow through on his threat to cancel daily White House press briefings, accusing news media of being “dishonest opponents” of the president.

“What they ought to do is get out of all this junk, they ought to focus on the big goals, they ought to report to the nation on the big goals, ignore all these reporters, close down the press room, send the reporters off [to Starbucks],” Gingrich said on Fox News’s “Hannity.”

“Maybe say to the American people – send in your questions, we’ll take the best five questions and we’ll answer them by name.” Trump on Friday suggested he might cancel “all future ‘press briefings'” in the name of accuracy after his administration struggled to explain the firing of FBI Director James Comey this week.
