Nice try to say it’s a lie but some of us were watching the press briefing in real time as it happened live.

[Gene Eric]

If you really give a damn about these CNN obscenities, get a hold of ATT.

[Sa-teef]

"Actually, I’ve heard most of the rest of the press corps can’t stand the little self-important weasel."

I don't doubt it for a minute!

Love the way the White House made the announcement, he denied and THEN they posted the video! Just enough rope to hang yourself Lil' Jimmy 555

The whole press corp should be denouncing his action, but I won't hold my breath.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

That works.

[NautiNurse]

If your wife was shopping and reached for something and a Man physically stopped her with his arm, what would you call that?

Saving money ;o)

Seriously, Acosta's inappropriate action appears to be battery. Acosta is defending his behavior, "I was just trying to ask a question." CNN is staunchly defending their child, encouraging him to continue his behavior.

Meanwhile, in an alternate universe, the #MeToo movement is planning a nationwide protest against Acosta for his boorish behavior.

Thanks for that link and that video.

Here is Loud Dobbs and Diamond and Silk on the same subject (plus on the election resuls).

bingo !

Everyone seems to be focused on Acosta’s weak “karate chop”, but it seems that by blocking her with his left arm, he also contacted her breasts. In today’s “me too” environment, that could actually be worse for him.

[YogicCowboy]

It most definitely was assault, as I understand the law.

And simple assault does not require actual contact.

[Ann Archy]

There is a VIDEO of it, Jim!!

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Jimmy the Accoster lived up to his name. He got merely a small taste of what he deserved. Hopefully he'll be punted by NN but I doubt that. If so, he can always try being a barista at Starbucks or better yet, the guy with the broom and pan, that follows the horses in a parade!

[Candor7]

This young woman is looking to him for help, and Trump was restricted to words alone.

I would have really laughed if the intern had kicked Acosta in the crotch to retrieve the microphone. He earned it. She would have received a promotion, for sure , if she has nor already.

I think the intern did a super job.

[Paul R.]

In some ways, I think it was almost like a reflex, but still clearly inappropriate for a reporter at a WH press conference.

Emphasis mine.

Probably right. The "reflex" of ownership.

[trebb]

They should burn them - while parading naked in a public place - it’s how Leftists “make their point (y headed values clear)”.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

That’s the best angle/view.

[VMI70]

“Acosta is like an overgrown David Hogg twerp.”

Perfect! I might delete “like” but otherwise it’s perfect.

[Missouri gal]

Acosta should have been barred when he interrupted the North Korea agreement signing. He should have a restraining order keeping him well away from the President and the White House. Loose cannon, prone to violence. He WILL explode sooner or later.

[Pravious]

That stupid metrosexual on Fox News asks Kellyanne Conway “what does this accomplish?” and quotes the Press Association saying that revoking Acosta’s credentials is “unacceptable” - as if THEY somehow have a say!

Self-important scum. Screw all of them.

[4yearlurker]

Acosta is unhinged. He was invited to the White House to ask questions. Not be a Antifa activist. I personally don't think he should be that close to the President. I'm 62 and have never seen reporters act like this in a White House Q & A with the president. He abused his privilege and his invitation. He is a classless fool.
