Petition to Remove the White House Press Credentials of Rick Wiles

You might recall the story of antisemitic right wing talking head Rick Wiles who blamed impeachment on a “Jew coup.” His video accusing Jews of plotting the murder of millions of Christians was removed from YouTube but has drawn no condemnation from Republicans who have appeared on his programs in the past. Apparently he has easy access to the White House via press credentials.

Yesterday, I become aware of a White House petition launched by attorney Marc Stanley which asks the Trump administration to restrict Wiles’ access to the White House. I signed it and I ask that you click the link and sign it too.  The petition reads:

On a November 22, 2019 broadcast recording, TruNews founder and host Rick Wiles opined that the House impeachment inquiry is part of a “Jew Coup” to overthrow President Trump and install a Jewish “Cabal” to control the country.

On December 4, 2019, Wiles doubled down, saying, “Jewish socialist Jerry Nadler’s Judiciary Committee escalated the Jew Coup.”

Rick Wiles has a long history of spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, as well as radical Islamophobic and anti-LGBTQ propaganda.

In the past, Rick Wiles has applied for and been granted White House press credentials. His vile racism, bigotry, and appeals to hate and violence have no place in the White House and he should be banned for life.

Add your name to this petition and take a stand against Wiles, anti-Semitism and bigotry.

In any normal administration, this fact and the lack of response to it would have consumed at least one news cycle. However, in the Trump administration, it is just another hour of another day. However, this should not go without response, especially at a time when Trump is cynically courting Jewish voters.  I hope you will sign on.

  1. Signed.

    Before signing, the count said 43 petitions had been signed. After signing, the count said 43 petitions had been signed, despite several refreshes. Because it’s this White House, I’ll keep my eye on it.

      1. I had to go back through my email, but I found the one from We The People that I used to confirm my signature. I’m glad you asked, even though I hold little hope of it doing any good. Thanks!

  2. i was going to sign, Warren, but these petitions appear to be useless , with many if not most bordering on ludicrous. I don’t know if you have perused the list of petitions, but I urge you to look through the list – most with their goals of having 100,000 signatures met, many that are downright humorous in their petition.

    agreeing that this guy is a jerk and should have his white house credentials revoked, I believe that there are other methods to pursue this action that may have more meaning and/or stand a chance of actual results.

      1. worthless action is a waste of time and energy.

        have you written to the white house about this jerk ?

        to your senator ?
        to your representative?

        it would probably do more good and you would likely get a response.

        1. What is worthless is your attempts to stop people from signing the petition. While encouraging other actions (ex. contacting congress people as well) is constructive, claiming the petition is “worthless” is not. further the petition IS a way of communicating with the whitehouse as the web site is a whitehouse communications channel.
