Kathleen Gray said she was removed from President Donald Trump's Michigan rally after tweeting that few in the crowd appeared to be wearing masks.
DETROIT — Kathleen Gray, a longtime political reporter for the Detroit Free Press who now works for the New York Times, said sheon Thursday after tweeting that few in the crowd appeared to be wearing masks.
"First for me: Trump campaign tracked me down from pics i tweeted and escorted me out," Gray said in a post on Twitter. Earlier she had posted photos of the crowd and said"Maybe 10% have masks." National media reported that Trump campaign officials said she was removed from the rally at MBS International Airport in Freeland because she did not have campaign-issued credentials and was working in the general audience area rather than in a designated press area.
Gray told Bridge Magazine that she had missed the deadline to get credentials but had tried multiple times to contact the campaign to get them after that and received no response. She acknowledged that she entered the general admission section of the rally because she didn't have the campaign-issued media credentials.
