A reporter was forcibly removed from the President Trump and Vladimir Putin presser in Helsinki, Finland Monday morning after he reportedly brought a sign into the meeting.
The journalist, identified by CNBC as Sam Husseini, an op-ed reporter with progressive publication The Nation, was initially asked by security to exit the press room, and he obliged, according to CNN.
When he was brought back into the room to retrieve his things, he reportedly claimed he got the boot because of a sign that talked about the nuclear test ban treaty. CNBC reports the sign — which read “Nuclear Weapon Ban Treaty” — was deemed a “malicious item” by Russian authorities.
Husseini held the sign up upon his return and was quickly flanked by a team of security guards and forcibly removed from the room.
CNN video shows the reporter was grabbed around the waist and pulled out by a team of three guards just before Trump and Putin took questions from the press.

President Trump has long declared his disdain for the press, and on Sunday, again claimed that “much of our news media indeed the enemy of the people” on Twitter.

Unhinged. Crazy eyes.
Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Was hoping they’d have to lift him by the legs to haul him out.
He’s very lucky he wasn’t shot.
Who the hell cares?
Usual fake new reporting. He abused his press credentials to gain access and stage an anti Nuke protest. As should be the response to all of these narcissistic infantile clowns, he was ejected
When you go to other people’s events and try to disrupt them, you are being the Fascist, not them.
Since he’s a left-wing activist, he should have been able to carry on as long as he wanted under the auspices of free speech, you see. In his defense, it’s not like the “press” were asking any questions worth a damn anyway.
Hey Acosta:
You’re next, beyotch!
They are not reporting that he had a large sign he was holding up. Its not any reporter. He was breaking the Russian rules and so he was asked to leave. But he refused so he was forced out. The fake news is just calling him a reporter and not telling the story that they all know.
That may be a photo of Lenin. I’m sure he’s at least as alive as John McCain.
“Hussein I” lol
Russians know how to TCOB.
Like anchild testing his or her limits with parents
The nation often sets a low bar for journalism imho
David corn for example
The Finn security guy got the “journalist’s” attention with the pressure applied to his thumb and little finger while using the man’s neck as a fulcrum.
Time to revoke all federal press credentials of this clown.
From the Nation and a Muslim? Was he homosexual too?
Maybe he was a transsexual
Well, Bye.
'Scuse the run on sentence pls. His wife, his 2nd, is the editor of the Nation and he contributes articles regularly.
I had held him in high regard but some say he leans toward socialism and an apologist for Putin. I thought he was fair-minded, objective, and fascinating to listen to.
The guys name is Husseini? He looks like a deranged and dangerous terrorist.
To a reporter - a propagandist who actually is taking part in the ‘news story’
A simple way to handle these leftist non-journalists is simply to BOYCOTT them and anyone who does business with them
Too bad they didn’t have blackjacks.
