Charlie Kratovil, a reporter with the New Brunswick Today, attended the New Jersey Parent Summit at the Heldrich Hotel. There, Miss Ryan, who is also D.C. bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks, delivered the keynote address.
Kratovil was credentialed as a reporter for the event and was videotaping the anti-Trumper's speech when one of Ryan’s bodyguards, Joel Morris, allegedly seized Kratovil's camera and forcibly ejected him from the hotel.
"When I speak, I don't have news covering my speech," Ryan explained to the audience as Kratovil was being forcibly removed. But Ryan had, in a 2018 interview with The Cornell Daily Sun, complained about her own freedom of speech being compromised by President Trump.

The hypocritical anti-Trump reporter has angrily complained that officials in the Trump White House have sought to silence her. "There have been efforts to silence me in the briefing room, there have been efforts to discredit me," she said.
On Monday Kratovil posted a photo of himself holding a court document, with the caption: "CRIMINAL CHARGES FILED: April Ryan's 'security guard' will be arraigned 9/12 in Superior Court on charges of harassment, assault and theft by unlawful taking."
And Kratovil posted a video on his Twitter page Monday saying police have found "probable cause" to charge Morris with harassment, assault and theft. [See below.]
"This was more than just an assault on me," Kratovil said. "This was an assault on freedom of the press, and April Ryan should have immediately condemned the use of violence against a journalist."
The incident was caught on surveillance cameras in the hotel and show Morris taking Kratovil's camera before he manhandled the reporter and shoved him out of the door.
In another video, Morris is seen approaching Ryan at the podium and the two spoke quietly. She stopped her speech for 30 seconds as Kratovil was ejected.
"Don't touch my camera, please. Put that down. Don't you dare. Put that down, sir," Kratovil said as he was led out.
On Monday, Kratovil said he was just doing his job.
"I was there to cover April Ryan’s speech. Joel Morris stole [my] camera, high-tailed it out of the room. One thing led to another, I ended up being assaulted after retrieving the camera. But now Mr. Morris is going to have to show up on Sept. 12…in Superior Court."
Hopefully, President Trump will stay out of this and let the event run its course. Whenever he gets involved, it becomes an anti-Trump fight and the focus is on him rather than the what took place.
