The Washington Times ^ | November 7, 2018 | S.A. Miller

President Trump on Wednesday admonished CNN reporter Jim Acosta for “rude” behavior and ordered him to sit down during a heated exchange at the White House.

At a press conference, Mr. Acosta repeatedly asked the president about his tough stance against a U.S.-bound migrant caravan was “demonizing” immigrants. He then refused to give up the microphone.

“You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN,” Mr. Trump told Mr. Acosta. “The way you treat Sarah Huckabee [Sanders] is horrible. And the way you treat other people is horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way.”

That’s not a good angle and totally missed the assault of the female staff

Like what Gen Tecumseh Sherman said...all journalists should be shot as “even in hell” they report to the enemy.

No, keep him....any ahole like that only helps Trump!
It’s entertainment and gives us a some needed laughs at the pathetic socialist tactics while showing the world what sane people have to deal with.

Acosta is just one example of a “journalist” dedicated to the downfall of the USA as we know it.

Why does the President of the United State of America have to put up w this kind of behavior from a pi$$a$$ reporter from any media outlet.
And why was he not removed?

Better yet, just invite middle school newspaper kids for pressers.

Jimmy ‘the accoster’ should be banned from the grounds of the White House, no ifs, ands, or buts! CNN should fire his sorry (donkey), but that would mean showing responsibility, something they would NEVER do!

Because it shows what lowlifes, liars and scumbags the media are, and it gives POTUS a chance to verbally and publicly kick their asses.

Can you imagine if the rats had failed to take the House? They would have to put Acosta in a straight jacket.
(They probably should anyway)

Exactly what I was thinking? Were was the Secret Service? I would have thought that when they see any sign of someone starting to irritate or attempt to verbal confront a president that it's a potentially tense situation that could escalate to a violent encounter and they should move in to diffuse it or remove the person.
