In a segment on NewsNation, Leland Vittert criticized Eugene Daniels, the WHCA President, for objecting to President Trump's attempt to exert more control over the White House press pool. Vittert highlighted that the decision to sideline WHCA's influence and choose outlets for press events was necessary, given the group's purported partisanship. He contextualized this move by referencing past WHCA complacency during Biden's administration, pointing out a historical trend of bias against Trump. Vittert described the WHCA as largely composed of overt partisans, underscoring the shifting dynamics in media access and accountability.
Vittert slammed the WHCA for its perceived partisanship, stating, 'Let's be clear. Trump's White House would be crazy to allow Eugene Daniels and his association to decide who is covering the president.'
He criticized Daniels and the WHCA's history of silence regarding issues like Biden limiting press credentials, arguing that it highlights their bias: 'These are the same correspondents who stayed silent when Biden cut 442 reporters press credentials.'
