Marjorie Taylor Greene Calls for Ban on Foreign Media in White House Briefings

The Georgia congresswoman criticized a reporter's accent and advocated for prioritizing American press access during White House briefings.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested removing foreign media from White House press briefings, citing a reporter's accent during a question on aviation safety.
The reporter's question followed a deadly mid-air collision involving an American Airlines flight and an Army helicopter, which killed 67 people.
Greene's comments came as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the termination of DEI hiring practices at the FAA, linking them to concerns about aviation safety.
Leavitt announced new policies for press briefings, including granting access to influencers and reinstating press credentials for hundreds of journalists.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the collision, with a preliminary report expected in 30 days and a final determination likely to take longer.
