    What do you think of the fact that press secretary Sanders posted an obviously edited video of the event?
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    I think you must have missed the fact that CNN edited the video to omit the part where Acosta touched that intern.

    Why do you support women being touched and having hands layed upon them, for doing their jobs? You're more worried about the editing of a video, the speed, rather than the touching itself.

    So you're all for women being touched when they wish not to. I'll recall that for later.

    And even if - what is wrong with an edited video sped up to SHOW the touching - when the contents and actual touching - weren't edited at all? Fact is he DID touch her and that's ALL that matters.

    Some suddenly think that unwanted touching is Aok.

    Lasly - she SHARED a video from a media site - she did not "post" it as if they made and doctored anything. Also a huge difference.

    Why, I think you’re right, Jim.
    I responded about this in your hypocrisy thread. Seems connected...

    Still no defense of this woman from anyone on the left that I can see, and I made many rounds through many media sites, and of course read all the comments that I can. While the fruity left had PLENTY to say when a man on the right barely touched a woman on the left.... now when similar happens, the left goes silent and/or thinks it's just OK for a man to lay hands on a woman, so long as it's "not much" or that it's in a slow motion of some sorts.

    All the defense goes to the trouble making Acosta and his ways.

    Some folks will go as far as to defend a woman touched in some sort of unwanted fashion from 80 years ago or so - but can't fathom doing so today, because the woman is from the right. Pathetic fuckers!

    I wonder if going forward we are going to allow for the unwanted touching/grabbing/pushing of women - and who will be the one to draw the conclusions on whether it was lightly enough or quick enough? Will it be OK for Trump and others to do the same, so long as it's gentle enough, and/or fast/slow enough?

    Lost in this exchange, and the back and forth tussle between the left and the right - is the fact that Acosta will indefinitely be out of the WH with his antics.
