Jim Acosta suspended from White House after putting hands on microphone girl.
 

That's a shame!!!:D:D:D

A Mod should probably put this in the other thread where it belongs. My bad.

factoid: he didn’t put his hands on the intern.

The way Acoster pushed her arm down looked like sexual assault, they are justified in making him have an escort on WH grounds (maybe ex-pres Bill could recommend a few).

Are you just randomly stringing words together here? Pineapple storm cloud station wagon? That sort of thing?

The WH should ban him from the grounds, period.

Looks like Acosta put some downward pressured force on that gal's arm....Not really a big deal though.

I'm just surprised that after talking about a Caravan for weeks this was the first mention of it and it cost Acosta his WH credentials...

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

When the president of the United States asks you to hand the mic over, you hand it over.

You're not "cool". No one outside the media thinks it's making a fashionable, rebellious statement. You won't be hailed as some standard bearer of modern day journalism.... You're simply being a jerk. By brushing aside a female not once but twice is embarrassing. The White House is correct in pulling his credentials.

His behavior was obstinate and rude.
Acosta commited a mild boundary violation. But nevertheless it was a boundary violation that needed to be addressed.
It appeared to me that Acosta was trying to goad Trump into have him physically escorted out.
Acosta wanted to become the news rather than report it.

I won't argue with that and I'd toss him for a week or two... but Trump was a complete prick today on his supposed day of celebration too...

My comment was more about wondering where the Caravan went as that was the only mention of it... :confused::confused:

He should never be let back in. CNN has plenty of reporters that would love that spot. He asked a question and it was answered . the President tried to move on and he used his arm to block a white house staffer from taking the mic. A women no less. You can hate the president all you want but don't come into the white house and disrespect the office and the staff. I would love to see the responses if this was a Fox reporter at an Obama press conference. The race baiting would be flying. His actions can't be defended regardless of your politics. Pick something else to be outraged about besides this cad and his atrocious behavior.

You should see some of the comments on Acosta's Twitter page. A few of the more self-righteous ones are up in arms over this "freedom of the press" issue, as if the Constitution guarantees a seat in the WH Briefing room. Acosta, of course, is free to to continue his work as a stenographer for the DNC at his own office.
