How valuable is a press pass anyway? He gives speeches and doesn't answer questions. As soon as the speech is over they post it on the internet. They feed the same talking points to the social media as they do to reporters.

Evidently Neil Monro was born in Ireland and after going through the the legal process, he became an American citizen, so in that regard, and regarding his question, I think he has some real creds. I have no doubt that in the future he will not be allowed to be near the president. The headline was a bit over the top imo, and I don't condone interrupting the president when he's speaking. Maybe Monro knew ahead of time he wouldn't get a chance to ask questions and decided to just blurt his out? Imo Americans deserve answers and it was neither fair or right for the president to walk away without allowing questions on such an important issue.
