That kind of behavior cannot be tolerated, by anybody. Especially in the White House!!
Lots of things are needed here and a tiny one would be the use of multiple microphones and a sound tech that can turn them off.
Bigger mic wranglers as well
When a normal person looks at a woman “wrong” he’s arrested for assault. So I’ll call this assault. Glad Trump is not wussing out.
it was a despicable display of overt misogyny. WAR ON WOMEN !!
There was no assault.
She reached for the mic, he put his hands on her......that’s assault........fool.
Good night people, conservatives must not be playing these pc games of calling incidental contact an assault. Assault is active physical harm, not an adolescent tug of war over a microphone. Get that weak victim talk out the room.
Next time they need a staffer manning the Mic who served a couple of tours with the Marines.
Two suggestions:
1. STOP CALLING ON ACOSTA, and/or
2. End all press conferences. They’re not mandated.
Sarah, Trump, etc., ask for this chaos and abuse by recognizing Acosta. I, for one, am sick of it. We don’t need the angst.
The only reason the press attends the sessions is to grandstand. It doesn’t help their reporting, since their “reporting” is sitting at their laptops and making up sh!t. They can do that any time, and don’t need a press conference.
Please have respect for Norman Acosta Desmond. Don’t you know that HE IS A STAR.
This, at least, deserves him to forever have the new moniker of “Jim Accosted”.
I wouldn’t call blowing off a White House staffer an assault. Reprehensible yes.
Assault? I’m not an attorney, but it doesn’t look like assault to me.
I would have liked to have seen President Trump have an armed security guard escort Mr. Acosta out of the room, and out of the building, and Mr. Acosta banned from future press conferences.
Then listen to the drive-bys scream!!!
One day conservatives saying this isn’t assault will learn that we need to hold the Left to their own rules, You won’t win a game of chess when your opponent says “By the way. You play by regulation rules, but all my pieces move like A Queen.”
Clearly made forced contact with the young lady.
Now would be an excellent time to pull his press pass.
Hell’s Bells man! Give him a pat on the back - he did the President a huge favor with his ass-hat display....
