    Understood - but the FACT is, with or without the speed change, he put his hands on this intern and shoved her arm away. This would not be acceptable from the left, and again, should not be acceptable now - from anyone.

    There should be no such non-stop interrupting during a conference. And certainly no pushing away of interns when the president says 'next' and to move on - which is the queue for her to move the mic to the next reporter, and for him to STFU.

    People will have there own concerns/cares regarding what aspects of the story they are more interested by. Personally I think the most interesting element is that the US press secretary posted a doctored video, and that they have yet to respond to the fact that everyone knows it’s been manipulated.

    Will Sanders mention it at all? Ignore it? Apologise? Delete it? Say it doesn’t matter? We’ll see.

    Shove is an extreme exaggeration of the action.

    Call it whatever you will - he layed hands on her and that cannot be disputed. His anger got to him. He shouldn't be touching anyone, let alone an intern doing her job.

    From looking at the video I don't see his hands on her. It's his forearm/wrist against her forearm/wrist.

    She went to take the mic, he pushed against her forearm to stop her. That's her job and she didn't lay hands on him. That is not his job, and he did lay hands on her.

    When the president says next, or stop, you let go of the mic and it goes to the next person, and you wait your turn again. He NEVER wants to do this and expects endless answers all for himself instead if allowing for anyone else to go "next".

    What would you say, if one of the black reporters were talking to him, and he gently touched/pushed her arm and took the mic away? Ill likely say ahead of time - yeah, sure!

    Leftists are fine with interns being treated as human humidors as long as the one inserting the cigar protects their right to murder babies.

    So if trump had done the same to April Ryan, this would be a nothing burger.

    Right.

    My favorite two hashtags...

    #DemocratsAreThePartyofTrash, and #DemocratPropagandaWing. But I have been including #DemocratsAreThePartyofHate and #DemocratsAreThePartyofFascism lately, and ice that cake with #AngryDemocratMob.

    These mongrel democrats simply are the FILTH of the WORLD, not just America... the WORLD.

    Legally speaking, and an explanation to the Pre-schooler, petey. Touching is Assault. Doesn't matter whether it was a hand, or an arm. Assault is touching. Acosta is a member of your family, right? Both suffering from extreme...Trump Derangement Syndrome. But for you petey. Will only go away when you finally graduate to human, adult.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    You realise, of course, that this suggestion comes from YOUR mind, and (so far as I'm aware) nobody else's ? H'm ?

    This is an important item, though (the UK Press thought so ... it was THE major story of the evening). What latitude should any one journalist have to try and hog as much airtime as he can, even through disreputable means, at a Presidential Press Conference ?

    He, and the outfit he works for, deserve all they have coming to them.
    It's That Bloody Foreigner Again !!!

    Assault is assault, period. It does not mean hands-on only. It means pushing, spitting, shoving, kicking,
    confrontational, and even verbal.

    Try looking up the definition of assault in the CFR.

    You can be really dumb.

    See my comment above yours. He knows that. He's doing his Jim Acosta routine.
