白宫为新聘助理新闻秘书贝尼·瑞·哈蒙尼进行辩护，尽管她曾在2021年11月穿着印有"Fuck Joe Biden"字样的T恤并持枪拍照，这些照片随后被发布在Instagram上1。白宫副新闻秘书安娜·凯利为哈蒙尼做出回应，称"贝尼·瑞·哈蒙尼一直是MAGA运动的受信任声音"1。
哈蒙尼曾是右翼媒体记者，职业经历包括在由特朗普前顾问史蒂夫·班农创办的Real America's Voice工作1。2021年时，她为众议院议员保罗·戈萨尔工作，该议员因发布包含暴力内容的动画视频而遭众议院谴责1。白宫表示哈蒙尼将成为特朗普传播团队的重要成员1。
这一任命反映了特朗普政府的媒体政策倾向。特朗普助手现已获权决定哪些媒体代表可向总统提问，优先安排那些公开支持他的记者1。此前，特朗普曾试图完全禁止CNN、Politico和MSNBC进入白宫1。
The White House has defended its newly hired assistant press secretary Benny Rae Hamone, who posed with a rifle while wearing a shirt bearing an obscene anti-Biden slogan in 2021.1 Hamone, who transitioned from her role at the right-wing media outlet Real America's Voice—founded by former Trump advisor Steve Bannon—to join the Trump administration, was working for U.S. Representative Paul Gosar at the time the photograph was posted to Instagram in November 2021.1 Gosar himself faced a House censure for releasing an animated video depicting violence.1
White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly defended Hamone's hiring, stating that "Benny Rae Hamone has been a trusted voice of the MAGA movement," and characterized her as an important member of Trump's communications team.1 The appointment reflects a broader media strategy under Trump, whose aides now select which media representatives are permitted to question the president, prioritizing journalists who have publicly supported him.1 This approach extends Trump's previous efforts to restrict access for certain outlets; he had previously attempted to completely ban CNN, Politico, and MSNBC from White House press events.1
