**Exchange between President Trump and Radical leftist CNN's Jim Acosta ....

[LongTermGuy]

`Jim Acosta is the type of person who skips to the front of the lunch line, acting like an asshat only for him to turn around and cry victim when he's called out on it.....100% truth bombs by President Trump!!

[LongTermGuy]

cool story, bro

[aboutime]

cool story, bro

After seeing your avatar that looks like a GOONY bird's head. At least we won't forget your face, or the empty brain you have.

This story is taking some weird twists - Acosta press permissions have been revoked, and Sanders tweeted a weird doctored video of the incident as a proof, when the undoctored video is in wide circulation :/

That disrespectful little leftist shyster earned his ban ten times over. Had I been president he'd have been gone a long time ago.

Whoever runs that White House press room better get a damn grip on it, and tell those in attendance that they'll show the president of the United States the proper respect, or they too will lose their pass. Enough is enough.

Imagine the magic negro getting constantly badgered and disrespected like President Trump has been... ya... the democrat propaganda wing would have been full blown melt down.

Define 'doctored'? Was Sanders' video deliberately misleading?

Define 'doctored'? Was Sanders' video deliberately misleading?

Sanders shared a video making the rounds on Twitter from a rightie site, and they apparently sped up the point where Acosta put hands on the intern, making it look "rougher" I guess? After Sanders retweeted it, then some folks made a claim of it being altered - but from the original source, not Sarah. No footage change, a speed change. Why I don't understand, as the hands on the poor girl is obvious in regular speed - not to mention all of his shitty antics. So SHE didn't doctor a video, she stupidly shared one making the rounds. And Acosta rightfully had his credentials revoked, for touching this woman in any manner, and his antics for interrupting just over and over and over at the conference.

[jimnyc]

Watching the left make light of this is pathetic. "He barely touched her" - "He has free press rights and just prevented her from taking the mic" and other bullshit like that. Bottom line - he layed hands on her. This would NEVER EVER be accepted by the left if done by a righty, and should be no different in this manner. In fact, in no manner in society should it be allowable - not even by a CNN reporter.

Sarah Sanders: ‘White House Is Suspending the Hard Pass’ of CNN’s Acosta

The press “hard pass” of CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta has been suspended, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced in a statement Wednesday evening.

The announcement came after a contentious exchange earlier in the day during a press conference where Acosta repeatedly interrupted and badgered President Donald Trump and refused to give up the microphone when a female White House aide tried to obtain it to pass it on to another reporter.

In her statement, Sanders stated the White House will “never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young women just trying to do her job as a White House intern.” Sanders called Acosta’s behavior “absolutely unacceptable” and disrespectful to other reporters he refused to allow to ask their questions.

The full statement from White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders follows:

Statement from the Press Secretary:

“President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern. This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter’s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any President in history. Contrary to CNN’s assertions, there is no greater demonstration of the President’s support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not being supportive of a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters over the course of an hour and a half – including several from the reporter in question. The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it is an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration. As a result of today’s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.” - Sarah Sanders

I thought Acosta should have grabbed her by the pussy. Then you guys won't care so much. This is a nothing burger. I've seen the video angles.

Interesting.

My take is that NO hands should be touched. And he DID push her arm away when she tried to get the mic, which is HER JOB. He PUSHED her arm away.

But your take, I can see how you can take a comment - and repeat it over and over and over - not only to try and somehow push it on us as if that's how we all feel - but quite frankly, the way you have used the word yourself so freely and so many times, says more about you than anyone else here on the board.

[jimnyc]

Fwiw, I believe that the inappropriate pushing away of this intern was only part of it - but this schmuck's continued antagonizing ways and interrupting of conferences was the main reason.

Adios, Acosta, peeking in from the outside.

Jim Acosta violated one of the oldest rules of journalism

By producing a split decision, the election that was supposed to end all elections turned out to be fairly predictable. But it’s the day after that was unlike any other.

The Republican president, the likely speaker of the Democrat-controlled House and the Senate’s Republican majority leader each started Wednesday by talking about working together to get things done. They talked to each other privately and talked separately in public about what they thought they could accomplish for the country.

For most Americans, that would make for a very good day. Given the overheated environment leading up to the midterms and the fear among many that we are drifting toward an era of disunion and spreading political violence, bipartisan pledges to work together for the common good were like the sudden emergence of a bright candle flickering in the wind.

Alas, it was the last thing some members of the White House press corps wanted, so they tried to snuff it out.

The conduct of a handful of so-called reporters during President Trump’s news conference was disgraceful beyond measure. This is not journalism, this is narcissism.

Naturally, the boorish Jim Acosta of CNN was the instigator. As is his habit, Acosta doesn’t ask questions — he makes accusations and argues. Almost daily, he does it with the press secretary; Wednesday, he did it with the president.

“I want to challenge you,” Acosta began after Trump called on him. Trump realized he’d made a mistake, murmuring, “Here we go,” and Acosta didn’t disappoint.

He insisted that despite the president’s use of the word “invasion,” the caravan of Central American migrants “is not an invasion.”

He adopted a lecturing, I-know-best tone to declare that “they’re hundreds and hundreds of miles away; that’s not an invasion.”
Trump’s response should not have been necessary: “Honestly, I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN.”

After more back-and-forth, he called Acosta “a rude, terrible person” and said “CNN should be ashamed of itself.”

That should have been enough — Acosta got the attention he wanted and got Trump’s goat, giving his network video it could make hay out of for days. Besides, there were scores of other reporters raising their hands to be called on.

But Acosta wouldn’t give up the microphone and kept talking over Trump, trying to lob another grenade.

The president, clearly angry now and stepping away from the podium as if he might bolt the room, pointed at him and said forcefully, “That’s enough, that’s enough. Put down the mic.”

Finally, Acosta sat down, then stood up to argue again, interrupting another reporter. That reporter, from NBC, praised Acosta and picked up the baton by making his own accusation disguised as a question. He mentioned Trump’s attacks on Democrats and “asked” the president: Why are “you are pitting Americans against one another?”

Trump, to his credit, actually answered in a substantive way, but that didn’t satisfy because the reporter didn’t really ask a question. He too just wanted to make an accusation and argue. On camera.
