Jim Acosta says he didn't touch female White House intern - this video shows otherwise
Trending Views ^ | 11/08/2018 | Frank

CNN's Jim Acosta was talking with Anderson Cooper. Acosta told Cooper that he did not touch the White House intern/aide when she tried to take the mic away from him. CNN showed part of the controversial video clip during their segment, but not the part where Acosta's hand/arm made contact with the White House staffer. They did make contact, but it does not seem like Acosta was trying to hurt anyone or anything like that. It was still very unprofessional behavior. We must all act more respectful when it comes to this stuff. Video on the source.

If he was 5 years old the kindergarten teacher would have told him just what Trump did.

CNN 7 The MSM : INFOWARS edited the tape using martian A.I. Technology stolen from the Reptoids!!!!

Wow, CNN is making Alex Freejking Jones look like the sane man in the room.

I didn’t know that ZOOMING in on a Video Clip was “EDITING IT”.....

Of course we must always believe the MSM no matter what, I member when they saved us from exploding GM gas tanks... with incendiary devices... OH WAIT...

Can’t believe everyone is up in arms about this. Everyone is being petty. Everyone.

Yes, Acosta was busy being a self-loving princess, but contact was incidental in the tug of war.

Did you know we’re 21 trillion in debt, and socialism is on the rise? Let’s get back on important things.

yes... any manipulation of a video clip is considered editing.

cnn did this with a trump clip when he supposedly brushed off a PM at the economic summit.... they enlarged the clip to hide trump’s touch of the arm to say “hey”... it was effective.

he didn’t put his hands on her... he used one hand... more of his wrist, not the hand... batterers use semantics to control all the time.

The whole world saw him knock her arm in real time as it happened.

Sheesh. . .then to say it never happened, my gawd, such ignorant arrogance. . .sad thing is, the democRATS and other leftists will swear it never happened.

Reality is what CNN tells them, not facts.

In law enforcement circles his refusal to cooperate by physically pulling away from the intern and grabbing the mic with both hands would be considered resisting arrest. In this instance he was resisting giving up the mic so he could continue with his arguement. Sanders needs to be less accommodating to arguements being made by the press and answer just one question before moving on. Trump as well. He continually indicates he’s moving on only to return to answer one final shouted followup question. Multiple questions become a debate, not a briefing. They should also disallow credentialing correspondants without journalism degrees. Too many attorney media whores.

“it does not seem like Acosta was trying to hurt anyone or anything like that”

Who’s making excuses for the violent left? What the hell?

Acosta was playing the knockout game.

CNN doesn’t need to be concerned with facts.
