    Regarding the Brenda Lee incident:

    As President Trump and his administration were criticized in November 2018 for their controversial decision to suspend CNN reporter Jim Acosta's press credentials, a number of Trump's defenders engaged in a round of whataboutism and claimed that President Obama had treated the media in a similar (or worse) fashion. The following image, for instance, was shared with the claim that it depicted a reporter named Brenda Lee being forcibly removed from Air Force One by order of President Obama due to her pro-life beliefs: [image of Ms. Lee being removed from plane]

    Although the photograph was genuine, the accompanying caption contained multiple factual errors:

    Brenda Lee was not on board Air Force One (as such, she could not have been "removed" from the presidential plane).
    Lee was not removed from the press area at LAX by "Obama's order." President Obama wasn't even at the airport at the time of the incident.
    Lee didn't grab someone "like Jim Acosta did," as video shows that Acosta didn't grab anyone.
    Lee was not removed for being "pro-life"; she was removed for refusing to heed instructions from security personnel.
    We found no reports documenting that Lee "permanently lost her White House press credentials." We also could not confirm that Lee had ever received press credentials from the White House to begin with.

    This photograph was taken on 28 May 2009 at Los Angeles International Airport and captured Brenda Lee, a self-proclaimed Catholic priestess and columnist for the Georgia Informer, being removed from an area near Air Force One by airport security. NBC Los Angeles reported at the time that Lee was trying to get a letter to President Obama about gay marriage but refused to cooperate with the security detail or a White House staffer who offered to take the letter to Obama. She was eventually removed from the press area by security while President Obama was elsewhere:

    WHAT A BUNCH OF BUNK! No one has stomped on "Freedom of the Press" when the whole room is full of reporters. They just don't want Jim to continue "Accosting" folks in the WH.
