In response to news the Senate will no longer allow reporters to film interviews with senators in its hallways, breaking years of precedent, DNC deputy communications director Adrienne Watson released the following statement:

“Republican senators want so badly to hide their healthcare repeal that they’re barring the filming of interviews in their hallways.  This is a pathetic and disturbing attempt to silence the press as Trump and Republicans prepare to take away healthcare from millions and millions of people to give millionaires and billionaires another massive tax break.”
