Trump orders CNN Star Jim Acosta to leave the Oval Office after reporter's latest outburst
Fox News ^ | 16 January 2018 | Brian Flood

President Trump kicked CNN star Jim Acosta out of the Oval Office Tuesday after the network’s senior White House correspondent badgered him with racially charged questions.

Acosta has made a habit of grandstanding and interrupting when Trump and his surrogates are available to the media. Tuesday was no exception, as Acosta yelled, “Mr. President,” three times before finally getting Trump’s attention.

“Did you say that you want more people to come in from Norway? Did you say that you wanted more people from Norway? Is that true Mr. President?” Acosta frantically shouted.

“I want them to come in from everywhere… everywhere. Thank you very much everybody,” Trump responded as Acosta continued to bark questions.

“Just Caucasian or white countries, sir? Or do you want people to come in from other parts of the world… people of color,” Acosta shouted. Trump then pointed directly at Acosta and simply said, “Out!”

A Trump staffer in the background can be heard saying, “Jim, thank you,” before the CNN star presumably exited the room. Acosta then took to Twitter, accusing White House aides of obstructing him from asking questions.

That would be the final straw for me. Permanent ban on that guy. This stuff has got to STOP.

Trump should ban him but at what point do his White House peers get the courage to have a word or take their own action? 99% of them DON’T work for CNN - why do they tolerate one person sucking all the oxygen out of the room?

President Trump should have had his secretary get the President of CNN on the horn and then told him that unless he wanted to lose the press credentials for CNN, Acosta would be removed from access to the White House and the entire Administration permanently.

Freedom of the Press is not license.

I think the appropriate response would be “Jim, when did you stop beating your wife”?

It's like graffiti - paint it out immediately or they will be back to tag over and over.

The moment liberal news reporters scream out idiocy make it a permanent ban for that reason - screaming idiocy.

Acosta is doing what they do in the hispanic countries.

Being hyper emotional, frenzied and relentlessly aggressive, all in an attempt to get over.

He’s exactly the reason we need to shut down immigration from the hispanic countries that have always been enemy states to the United States. We don’t need or want to be Venezuela or Colombia or Mexico or even Chile. All of them are failed states to one degree or another, and there’s no reason to let the United States end up failing the way they did.

Or molesting little girls.

Actually, Acosta should be asked where he lives, how much “die-versity” is there (all White, no doubt), and that he must allow Haitians and Mohammadans into his house to bunk with him and his family or he’s a racist.

Acosta’s Democrat-Communist Political tactics are loathsome. This is not about what real men say in private meetings. This is about media being part of the phony resistance.

Is that where this year’s models-hippityhoppers-and-EDM douchebags are holding this year’s festival?

A cheap holiday in other people’s misery...

LOL, that’s like a Three Stooges episode where Moe gets his toes stuck under a car wheel. After struggling to get him loose, Larry gets right in his face and says, How was it, Moe ... pretty heavy?”

If they cannot show the slightest respect for the office give him a month long ban until he can. His hatred is unhealthy.
