So @seanspicer is again complaining about the @WHCA taking too long to approve his application, as if he's a victim of some form of "cancel culture."
I have no idea what the WHCA will decide, but it very much looks like he's ineligible.
Here's why. (thread 1/)

You see, Newsmax isn't Sean's only gig.
Sean has two other ventures going. RigWil and Point 1.

RigWil, according to his website and this @PRWeekUS piece, is "a strategic consulting firm that provides insights to C-suite corporate and association executives."
One of his employees even said he's "advising clients who are "looking to have meetings on the Hill." 3/

Sean's other gig is @point1gop. According to this @dcexaminer piece, it's a consultancy that "produces political mailings and digital support and specializes in online fundraising and social media strategies."

So by now you're asking me: "But Andrew, what does that have to do with the WHCA?"
Well, those two companies appear to be engaged in lobbying and PR.
Now, take a gander at the WHCA membership rules and be sure to note the highlighted passage prohibiting lobbying and PR. 5/

But that's not all. @Newsmax itself may have a problem since Sean says he has congressional press credentials through the @SenateRadioTV Gallery, which ALSO bans anyone engaged in lobbying or related stuff.
So in summation, it's NOT cancel culture.
