Donald Trump has just added the Washington Post to the list of media outlets that he's on a break from.
Trump posted on his Facebook account that his campaign has revoked the press credentials of the Post due to "incredibly inaccurate coverage and reporting..."
The Post is the most high-profile outlet yet to be banned by the Trump campaign. He has reportedly also banned the Daily Beast, as well as reporters from the Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, the Des Moines Register and Politico.
The ban comes after Trump made a series of inflammatory comments related to the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida that left 49 dead inside a nightclub that catered to the LGBT community. Since then, the presumptive Republican nominee has been doubling down on previous calls to ban Muslims from entering the U.S.
Trump appeared to take particular issue with the Post claiming that he had implied that President Barack Obama had been involved.
From the Post's homepage on Monday:
Trump posted earlier on Facebook that he disagreed with this framing.
Some Post reporters appeared to be taking the news in stride. Other media outlets that have found themselves without any access to Trump also jumped in to welcome the Post.
