Yeah, the Secret Service can't stop a guy with a knife from entering the Obama WH

but they can sure as Hell can stop a legit photojournalist - with a chokehold - from stepping 18 inches out of the "pen" at Trump rally.

...she has repeatedly asked whose rules those are that limit reporters so drastically at Trump events. They are the campaign's rules. Other rules:

The reporters are kept in a pen so they can't talk to any voters.

Very loud music is deliberately played before and after, while Trump is working the rope line, so that no one can hear what he is saying to people.

And other such stupidity.
