I have reviewed that video quite a number of times. It is clear that his left arm came down on hers. However, as much as I despise Jim Acosta, I don’t think that this was a purposeful hit. It looks like it was very unintentional, as if his arm was coming down to grab back at the mic that she was grabbing from him. Of course, she had the right to take the microphone away, as the President of the United States basically told him to stop talking, and he kept talking on a White House owned microphone. She was doing her job, and he was clearly trying to stop her from that, plus being disruptive and disrespectful to the POTUS.
There’s no question but that he is one of the more obnoxious SOB’s in the entire media, but I don’t think he’s guilty of assaulting that young lady. Nonetheless, the CNN ban is fully justified.
The martial arts move Acosta made against the young lady was intentional.
Accost-her definitely got physical, no matter how minor.
Fire him and and his enabler Zucker.
Reviewed it many times? Not intentional? Bull! There was force as it caused the intern to momentarily lose her balance. It is an example how tunnel vision gripped Acostas brain and took control of his actions. He is a unhinged foot soldier and his type have become very dangerous to our Republic.
watch the video in post 9.
I mean post 7
I agree with you. Acosta was a verbal a-hole but not a physical one in this case.
