Donald Trump revoked the press credentials of The Washington Post on Monday in response to an article the newspaper published in the wake of the Orlando shooting.

Trump, in a post on Facebook, wrote, “I am no fan of President Obama, but to show you how dishonest the phony Washington Post is, they wrote, ‘Donald Trump suggests President Obama was involved with Orlando shooting’ as their headline. Sad!”

The Republican nominee followed that with another post, this one criticizing the Post for its “inaccurate coverage,” and revoking the press credentials of the media organization.

“Based on the incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting of the record setting Trump campaign, we are hereby revoking the press credentials of the phony and dishonest Washington Post,” he wrote.

In the Post article, reporter Jenna Johnson quoted Trump’s comments to “Fox and Friends” Monday morning.

“People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' There's something going on. It's inconceivable. There's something going on,” the article quotes Trump as saying.

In a statement first reported by CNN, the news organization called Trump's decision “nothing less than a repudiation of the role of a free and independent press. … The Post will continue to cover Donald Trump as it has all along -- honorably, honestly, accurately, energetically, and unflinchingly. We're proud of our coverage, and we're going to keep at it."

Carol Lee, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, released a statement Tuesday saying the group “stands with the Washington Post and numerous other news outlets that Donald Trump has arbitrarily banned from his campaign events.”

"Any nominee for the highest office in the country must respect the role of a free and adversarial press, not disown the principles of the First Amendment just because he or she does not like the tone or content of their coverage,” she wrote.

National Press Club President Thomas Burr, echoing Lee’s sentiments, tweeted that “a media blacklist is un-American.”

The Trump campaign, which has had a combative relationship with the media, has denied journalists access in the past. In March, Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger was barred from a Trump press conference. On June 2, another Politico reporter -- who, the news site claimed, was attending on a general admission ticket after the campaign “refused to credential the reporter for multiple events” -- was removed from a Trump rally.

Other media outlets, including BuzzFeed, Mother Jones, the Daily Beast, and the Huffington Post, have also faced access issues.
