“President Trump has displayed an overtly hostile attitude toward the press since the early days of the presidential campaign,” said Himes. “Aggressiveness toward reporters was a hallmark of many Trump rallies, where it was common for members of the media to be threatened and intimidated.

President Trump has displayed an overtly hostile attitude toward the a very corrupt and biased press. The press today is nothing more than a propaganda machine for the Democrats, socialists, Marxists, Communists and other agents of Satan.

Is Himes too stupid and brain washed to recognize that we are all hostile to a rotten press.

Fine, The camera should be operated by the press office and focused on the podium. DVDs available at a “small” charge.

I would suggest that someone take the Congressman aside, and quietly explain the separation of powers. This is ridiulous.

That is funny, I hope they don’t hold their breath after the way they’ve reported on President Trump from the very start. :)

They couldn't even have imagined electronic media, let alone imagine the POWER of electronic media..

This is a logical extension of the mindset that believes news readers and so-called reporters are actually stars.

Democratic congressman Jim Himes (D-Conn.) introduced a bill on Thursday...

Democratic congressman Jim Himes (D-Conn.) stands out as an embarrassment to the entire State of Connecticut.

That is quite a feat in a state where so many politicians have made their mark by being ignorant idiots.

Congratulations, Jimmy-boy...

I wish after school cartoons were still the rage and Schoolhouse Rock remained part of it. Prior generations grew up smarter than kids today, no doubt about it.

Such a “law” would be a blatant unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers.

So that never has stopped the controlling power of the communists Democrats. I am in favor of no press briefings at all. They have been nothing but rotten questions which are no questions but communists talking points. No more press briefings and nothing in the constitution support them. But as we know this weak Administration will go along with the communists.

The press doesn’t need a “press conference.” Why bother, they make up their own crap as news anyway.

Better yet; make it illegal to be a democRat.

Punishable by exile. The perp has to find a country to take him.

I hear Venezuela is nice if you don’t find a need to eat... much.
