Acosta's hard-pass revoked

Hello Stretch,

The self-serving drama queen is out of the loop in the WH for a while. He was over the top pushing the arm of the WH gal whose job was to keep the mic moving through the crowd at the presser.
He won't get to see himself on TV as much for a while. He'll be back in there at some point I'm sure. But, for now he's out. :cool:

Silencing the press is the tool of tyrants.

If a leader is proud of his accomplishments and honest with the people he should welcome public scrutiny, not try to control it or quash it.
 
Vile Herb, like his fuhrer, wants a total dictatorship. Do the trumpite weirdoes really want that? For working people it is always death.

Jesus CHrist you're a whiny bitch. She is not made of glass. She was putting her hands on him, why is she not being charged with assault? He wasn't even paying attention to her, she ran into his arm because she was trying to assault him to take away his mic. Bitch should apologize to him.

For two reasons: First is the Corey Lewandowsky incident (which eventually went nowhere), and second is the fact they we are supposed to freak-out over very little in the age of #MeToo.

Check out in this video, start at 1:29, go frame by frame if you want (use that pause button), he places his hand on her arm, initiating contact, and pushes her away from him while pulling back the White House mic as he tries to hijack a presser for his own use. He then says, "Pardon me, ma'am".. Watch her reaction as she turns to the President in shock... then kneels down and clearly is working through what just happened and what to do about it.

The White House is absolutely in the right on this one, until he apologizes to her and the WH, and his boss explains how they will make sure that their reporters understand that putting their hands on White House staffers in the Press room is not okay, they should revoke access to CNN, IMHO. It isn't okay to push around women just because you think this is a one on one session at CNN rather than a WH press briefing with the President.

do you choose to act stupid? or is someone egging you on?

The press is there to ask questions, write their stories based on the answers, nothing more, it's not their job to argue

Acosta and the rest of the triggered nut-bag brigade posing as journalist want to debate with the President, on subjects they are clueless on

so Now Acosta can go work from home

Sorry but bad call on your part and Trump's. He was pulling his arms back from a gesture and brushed the intern who had reached up and jerked at the mic. Would have far more respect for Trump if he just said, "You suck. No more." than inventing this nonsense.

Slide it to the 1:30 mark where he pushes her arm down. :nono:

 
I don't give a fuck who you are, if you ever try and jerk a mic out of my hand anywhere, any time, or place, I'll fucking clobber you over the head with it just for general principles!

Fair warning!

He does not. He was pointing at the President with his left hand and she stuck her arm up under his jerking at the mic as he was pulling his arm back and he said "pardon me m'am." as his arm crossed hers.

He pushed her arm down as she attempted grab the mic.
Slow it down, she reaches and makes contact with the mic as his hand was up and then he brings it sharply down on the crook of her arm in an attempt to further prevent her from removing the mic from his grasp.

I don't need to slow it down just like the White house didn't need to selectively speed it up.
 
He says "pardon me ma'am" NOT because he got physical. As he says it, he now grabs the mic with BOTH hands in complete defiance and not acquiescence.
His "pardon me ma'am" was said in the context of 'pardon me ma'am, but I'm not giving you this mic, I'm going to keep talking'.

If it was a sincere "pardon me" (for touching her) he would have removed himself immediately from all contact, handed her the mic and sat down. Instead he dug his heels in even further and continued.
 
Her reaching UNDER his arm and across his chest would be considered threatening and an aggressive invasion of his personal space . He has a case for assault himself- but he's far too chivalrous and sensible to pursue it.
She should have asked for the microphone.
 
What is he? A kindergartner? He knows the drill. A Prez says to move on. A WH worker will always step in to bring the mic to the next chosen reporter. It's not rocket science.
 
Do you idiots know what a badge of honor it is for Acosta to have his pass revoked?


He will certainly get a raise and promotion.
