A Facebook friend mentions this development:
I saw your post about the Nation journalist ejected from the Trump-Putin press conference. Did you see this piece – https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wemple/wp/2018/07/16/the-nation-contributor-ejected-from-helsinki-presser/?utm_term=.43596618b05c It includes this: A CBS News White House correspondent was quoted on her own website as saying, “It started when he was heckling those of us who were in the middle of reporting and two members of the security detail confronted him about it. He came out and showed a sign that he apparently made that said ‘nuclear weapon [ban] treaty’ and that’s when this all unfolded and intensified.” Seems like The Nation reporter may not have been entirely faultless?
