Leonard Robinson said he RSVP’d to an event hosted by Reproductive Freedom for All using a form the Pappas campaign sent him.

At check-in, he said, an RFA representative told him he was not on the list and the event was full. Robinson said another journalist who was not on the list was later admitted, and that he saw a Pappas staffer gesture “no” from a distance.

Robinson’s account places the decision with the event’s organizers and a campaign staffer. The report does not say Harris was involved.

New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Raymond Buckley called the outlet “a partisan right-wing site created to smear Democrats” and said it has rarely received credentials to Democratic events. NH Journal managing editor Michael Graham stood by Robinson.

Fox News Digital said it is unclear whether a miscommunication among organizers was behind the incident. Representatives for Harris and the state Democratic Party did not respond to requests for comment, and the Pappas campaign declined to comment.
