If the rest of the press joins in a boycott the President should just say fine and hold no more press or availabities. No excuse for the rudeness and refusing to relinquish the mic was beyond the line. Free press is one thing, rude press is something altogether different. If they want to stick together and promote unacceptable behavior then they aren’t needed.
The fact that he said “excuse me “ after the contact shows he knows he made contact. He should be charged with simple assault. #accoster

I would add “disrespectful” to the rude. They are horribly disrespectful to the President (most powerful man in the world & they treat him like garbage), first & foremost and also to Sarah. The other person who was horrible, although she didn’t wrestle for the mic (she just interrupted about 10 times without one) was April Ryan who should be suspended for a ‘time out’ to see if she can find some manners to beg, borrow or steal because she certainly has none of her own.
New Rules (as Dan Bongino would say) if I had my druthers: you continue to talk/interrupt the President, Sarah, or other reporters when it is not your turn and you are asked to stop/sit down & you don’t, then you should be escorted out. First offense: you lose your credentials for 3 months. 2nd offense: additional 6 months of no credentials. Third offense: if you’re stupid enough do it again, you’re out - credentials permanently revoked.
Or say fine and invite Breitbart, OANN, etc. Allow some ACTUAL news media to attend.
