Tiffany Campaign Blocks Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Reporter From Event

The campaign said Mary Spicuzza was barred over her political views, while other Journal Sentinel staff and local TV stations were allowed in.

  • On Thursday, Republican gubernatorial candidate Congressman Tom Tiffany's campaign barred Milwaukee Journal Sentinel investigative political reporter Mary Spicuzza from a campaign event in Milwaukee.
  • The campaign justified the exclusion by labeling Spicuzza a "liberal activist," alleging her coverage lacked balance because she wrote multiple negative headlines about Tiffany and zero about opponent David Crowley.
  • Just two days earlier, Tiffany pledged at a conference to welcome reporters from "slanted" outlets like the Journal Sentinel, stating he believed in an open, free press.
  • Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Executive Editor Greg Borowski criticized the move, stating that blocking reporters hinders the public's access to vital information and will not deter the newsroom's coverage.
  • Democratic officials characterized the incident as "following Trump's lead," drawing parallels to President Donald Trump's recent decision to bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House complex.
