WOW: White House Comms Director responds to AP reporter complaining about being denied access to Oval Office

An Associated Press reporter complained on X about their White House reporter being denied access to the Oval Office today when Elon Musk and President Trump were holding their press conference.

The reporter said: “Today our @AP White House reporter was denied access to the Oval Office because the Associated Press recognizes the international body of water on our southern coastline as the Gulf of Mexico, while acknowledging President Donald Trump’s order to rename it the Gulf of America.”

White House Communications Director responded, but not how you might think.

Steven Cheung posted a gif of someone playing a little violin with the caption “poor thing”:

Welp, I guess that pretty much sums it up how the White House feels about it.
