Brenda Lee writer for Georgia Informer forcibly removed from area near AF1
A reporter named Brenda Lee, a writer for the Georgia Informer was forcibly removed from a press area near Air Force One shortly before Obama arrived at Los Angeles International Airport to depart California early Thursday. Brenda Lee said in a telephone interview with The AP that she wanted to hand Obama a letter urging him “to take a stand for traditional marriage.” Brenda Lee said she asked a Secret Service agent to give the president her letter, but he refused and referred her to a White House staffer. Lee said she refused to give the staffer the letter. Calls to the White House press office were not immediately returned. Welcome to the world for those who don’t cowtail to Obama.
