Between this article, and the other tweet trolling President Trump about Acosta “WILL” cover the President in Paris I detect a whiff of intent to intimidate here.

I consider this a warning, and believe we all be on high alert for followup intimidation by these leftists.

Apparently in the childlike mentality of the leftist’s they believe they beat us last Tuesday with a win in the House of Representatives. They actually failed their overall goals, but like children they sing, dance, and troll.

I’m ready for Trump to stop the WH press conferences. Just say, ‘ok, I’m just going to act like Obama now. No more press conferences and who’d like to be first in line to kiss my a**?”.

With rights come obligations. Like the obligation to respect the boundaries of you being an invitee. Once the inviter tells you your time is up and you don’t listen then you become a nuisance who can be physically removed if necessary. Instead this ape manhandles the hired help and loses his right. They should have thrown his @$$ out.

AND THIS is why the clown media is taken serious by about 11% of the US people. NO morons, there is NOTHING in the 1st Amendment that requires the Govt to give you special access and special privileges

The 1A entitles him to a White House press pass (according to the NYT) but the Second doesn’t entitle me to buy a gun (again, according to the NYT).

He can write whatever he wants and scream on any street corner he wants but no one is bound to have to listen to him and access to the White House is at President Trump’s pleasure.

Nobody has a “right” to be at the White House, press or not. It is a “privilege” afforded to those who don’t “acost-a” the staff.

Here’s hoping that now that intern has been through this once, she won’t be so shy next time.

I am all for equal opportunity regardless of sex, but at this point I think the job of passing the microphone around should go to someone with a different set of skills and training than the typical intern. I would suggest that the microphone handler be about 6 feet tall, weigh about 250 pounds, and have experience as a Marine, Secret Service, or some special forces group member. They should also be a federal law enforcement officer so that assaulting them, or obstructing them, is a felony. And they should have the kind of grip that would allow them to take the microphone away from a polar bear if they wanted to.

That should solve the problem.

Uh, no, sorry, NYSlimes, you’re wrong AGAIN.

A press pass isn’t a right, it’s a privilege. If I don’t obey the rules of driving, I get my license revoked. If a kid hits a teacher, he gets suspended. If Asscosta doesn’t obey the rules of the WH, he gets his press pass yanked. If he physically harms an intern, he gets his freedom taken away.

He has no more “Right” as a reporter than any other American citizen

Access is a privilege.

Privileges CAN be revoked

I will represent Free Republic.

Works for me. If Jim Robinson would accept you, Freerepublic is exactly the sort of public information organization I think *should* be represented, particularly in place of the Democrat media.

Of course they’d have to get through security too though.

Sure, but what they do at airports should be sufficient. Put some metal detectors and nudie-cams in place, then let people through. And I think you'd definitely get crazies with tinfoil hats and conspiracy theories. But that's no worse than the active malice of CNN et. al.

WH press passes should be given weekly by lottery until the visa lottery is abolished. They should have a 10-year waiting period until illegal immigration is sufficiently constrained to permit shortening of the legal immigration backlog.

If every citizen does not have a right to a pass, then neither does Acosta. And the way he’s been acting lately, he may well be deemed a security threat to the President.
