White House yanks Playboy reporter's credentials after Rose Garden snafu

https://nypost.com/2019/08/03/white-house-yanks-playboy-reporters-credentials-after-rose-garden-snafu/

The White House reporter who nearly sparked a Rose Garden brawl last month has been punished with a temporary suspension of his press credentials.

Brian Karem, a reporter for Playboy and a CNN political analyst, tweeted that his White House press pass will be suspended for 30 days, starting Monday, for getting into a shouting match with former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka.

“I can and will appeal this decision,” Karem tweeted Friday — joined by his Playboy bosses, who called the sanction “incredibly concerning.”

The heated July 11 dust-up broke out at a Social Media Summit for President Trump’s online supporters — who Karem denounced as being “eager for demonic possession.”
