And even if the speed was altered to make the hitting of her arm more quickly/forcefully - it DOES NOT change the FACT that he layed his hands upon her. You can and want to argue the sped up video - and completely ignore him putting his hands on this woman to prevent her from doing her job, and then she had to look back at Trump for an appeal when Acosta pushed her arm away and prevented her from doing her job.

    The same as YOU are editing this thread by addressing some issue on your point that is NOT the point of the thread. NOBODY CARES about you NOTHING EDITED POINT to the topic.

    Clear it up for you?

    He thinks that since someone out there altered the video to speed up the area where he pushed down upon her arm - somehow makes his pushing down upon her arm OK. Coming from the one who yammered on about an "assault" that took place 8 decades ago, he can't stand up for a woman today, but would rather concentrate on a video, that DOES prove he touched her, sped up or not, altered or not.

    I don't need reassurance, I saw it live time when he placed his hands on her and pushed her away. I'm not the one being a weenie trying to find ways to avoid holding Acosta accountable for his disrupting ways and his ways of placing his hands on this woman. That would be YOU. Since he did, and it's obvious in live time, I don't see the point in giving a shit about a video that was sped up to clarify his actions. Unless you want to say she did the altering, which would also be incorrect. At worst, she was dumb in reposting a video that was altered by someone else to have his touching stand out.

    "But allow me to use this time as obfuscation to ignore the touching, when I stand against such actions at other times. Allow me to be that hypocrite."

    Sure thing.

    Don't post them and I won't reply. Otherwise, STFU and don't be telling me what to do. I addressed the topic itself previously. You have yet to do so; rather, choose to address some inane and irrelevant non-issue. You're so sad at this you're making Acosta look good. Hope you got a day job.

    "I will act like your post doesn't exist. Maybe I'll get to it another day. Until I get my exact questions answered about this video that means nothing at the end of the day, I will ignore the touching of this woman 100% and change the subject or ignore what you say. I will act completely different as I have defended in the past. And why? You tell me..."

    Not a riddle really, just pointing out the more than obvious, and the hypocrisy.

    That's a reasonable statement given the conversation of the thread.
    My interest is in the defence of the video Sanders posted, and not a general agreement that Acosta should of given the microphone over to the intern. If you want to requote with and agree about that part of the story you have plenty to chose from. I don't think that kind of "discussion" is interesting, but fairplay if you do.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    In other words - you are more interested in the video - than you are of the live events and the fact that a man layed his hands upon a young intern.

    Gotcha, fair enough.

    Then address the topic. Should be pretty clear to you by now your deflection is irrelevant.

    Move on.
