Former Democratic Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont said the media should completely stop covering President Donald Trump Wednesday on Twitter.
Dean made the comment when responding to a tweet that accused Trump of having a crowd turn on a pool cameraman. He said the solution to ending Trump’s comments about the media is simple: The president should no longer be covered by any of the media.
“One time Trump had the crowd turn on a pool cameraman. A pool cameraman! A camera guy has no editorial say on Trump coverage,” Sopan Deb a writer for The New York Times tweeted.
“The solution is simple,” Dean responded. “Do not cover him.”
