Whether or not a journalist has the right to cover the White House has been debated since CNN's Jim Acosta had his hard press pass revoked last week.
During an interview with Mediaite's Larry Larry O'Connor, CBS White House Correspondent Major Garrett went into detail about decorum said the White House press pool is expected to hold themselves in a specific manner.
"It's the most majestic political place in America - the White House. The only place second to that, in my experience, where I spent almost 15 years, is in Congress," Garrett explained.
"It can be rough and tumble there. It can be rough at tumble there at times at the White House but it is a place of institutional passage and commands institutional respect."
Specifically, Garret referenced a press conference in the Rose Garden.
He raised his hand, Trump looked at him, a White House aide handed him the microphone but when he went to ask the question, Trump replied, "No, not you. Behind you." It turned out Trump was calling on CNN's Kaitlan Collins.
When Garret realized what happened he handed the microphone back to the White House aide, no questions asked.
