Secret Service Responds to CNN’s Whining

In case you missed it, CNN is beside itself that President Donald Trump would spend his time golfing during the holidays. Specifically, they’re furious that the president would block breathless journalists from witnessing presidential history as he slices his way down the back 9.  Or did he?

The Secret Service has responded to CNN’s outragey reportage after a white truck blocked stalking journalists from getting clear shots of the president’s golf game. (Pulitzer Prize-winning stuff potentially, we know.)

The President's security detail denied sending out a white truck to frustrate CNN’s hard-up reporters. Then it added a delightful kicker:

[The Secret Service] “is in the business of protection and investigations not in commissioning vehicles to block the media’s view of the President’s golf swing.”

Fore! The economy’s humming along, tax cuts are passed, the Supreme Court is in good hands… just enjoy the holidays, CNN. There will be plenty of time for am-bush journalism in 2018.
