Former CNN host and notorious Trump critic Brian Stelter took to X to complain when he reportedly applied for credentials to the former president’s Bedminister press conference and was denied.
Stelter — whose partisan left-wing opinion show “Reliable Sources” was cancelled by CNN in 2022 — is currently working with Vanity Fair magazine. On Thursday, the vehement Trump hater took to X to complain after his press credentials were denied.
“Yesterday I applied for media credentials for today’s Trump press conference. I used my Condé Nast email address and Vanity Fair special correspondent title. I received an email saying my request was denied,” he wrote.
Stelter’s post was largely met with ridicule. “Were other DNC propagandists and propaganda outlets also denied? Or just you?” asked The Federalist reporter Mollie Hemingway.
Others pointed to the lack of a similar press conference held by Vice President Harris. In 25 days since becoming the de-facto Democratic Party presidential nominee, Harris has yet to give a single interview or hold a press conference.
“Did you get credentialed for Kamala Harris’s press conference? Oh she didn’t have one,” wrote one X user.
Stelter’s denial is perhaps unsurprising given his frequent partisan criticisms of the president
