Thank You Abby Phillip, Yamiche Alcindor and April Ryan!

Dear Abby Phillip, Yamiche Alcindor and April Ryan,

Thank you for your commitment to honest reporting on the White House. In spite of the verbal abuse and attempts to silence you, you persisted and asked the Trump administration tough questions to hold them accountable.

You confronted Trump on the Mueller investigation, voter suppression in the midterm elections, and challenged his divisive rhetoric and close ties to white nationalism.

We admire your grit in the face of dismissive and demeaning language, and we appreciate your dedication to keeping the American public informed.

In solidarity,

Your Supporters

You know, Yamiche, had I been there when Trump’s hackles went up, I would have been hard pressed

not to charge him and plant a fist in his face. Your poise was truly impressive.

Please continue trying to get the truth for the American people.

We depend on the truth tellers and professional journalists who have the responsibility to report happenings accurately. Every despot seeks to have the news told only from their own perspective and will lash out at those who report the truth. It takes courage to resist the attacks from a wannabe dictator and misogynistic racist. Thank you for your service in, what has now become, a combat zone: responsible, accurate journalism.
