White House Responds to Don Lemon on the First Amendment
17th March 2026
he White House has responded to former CNN host Don Lemon’s suggestion that President Donald Trump opposes the First Amendment and should be disinvited to the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“President Trump is the most transparent and accessible President in American history to the media and his return to the White House saved the legacy media from going out of business,” White House spokesman Davis Ingle told The Daily Signal in a statement Monday.
“There has never been a greater champion of the First Amendment than Donald J. Trump who has implemented an unprecedented expansion of press access to cover him,” Ingle added. “Don Lemon is a low ratings loser that no one takes seriously.”
That about sums it up.
