The White House on Wednesday suspended the press pass of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta after he and President Donald Trump had a heated confrontation during a news conference.
They began sparring after Acosta asked Trump about the caravan of migrants heading from Latin America to the southern U.S. border. When Acosta tried to follow up with another question, Trump said, "That's enough!" and a female White House aide unsuccessfully tried to grab the microphone from Acosta.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders released a statement accusing Acosta of "placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern," calling it "absolutely unacceptable."
The interaction between Acosta and the intern was brief, and Acosta appeared to brush her arm as she reached for the microphone and he tried to hold onto it. "Pardon me, ma'am," he told her.
Acosta tweeted that Sanders' statement that he put his hands on the aide was "a lie."
CNN said in a statement that the White House revoked Acosta's press pass out of "retaliation for his challenging questions" Wednesday, and the network accused Sanders of lying about Acosta's actions.
"(Sanders) provided fraudulent accusations and cited an incident that never happened. This unprecedented decision is a threat to our democracy and the country deserves better," CNN said. "Jim Acosta has our full support."
He didn't put his hands on her...he wouldn't let her grab the Mic..end of story....i guess if Acosta got body slammed Trump would have cheered it....what a joke....any question the Russian puppet doesn't like he acts like a petulant child...and peeps still stick up for him....sad..
Gotta give Trump credit for nailing the Nazi propaganda - and his dimwitted and loyal supporters for being good little Nazis soldiers in their fight against democracy and the free press. AntiFascists are the enemy, the press is the enemy of the people, down is up, up is down...
"Or try to imagine Acosta and his ilk behaving in similarly hostile fashion toward Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. "
Thom, that article you posted is so stupid. See, the difference is neither Obama or Hillary were ever pissed on by Russian hookers, didn't regularly discredit and threaten the press, and didn't speak and treat people with the eloquence and class of an Atlantic City mobster. I know it's hard for Trump supporters to understand that difference, but really, blaming any rude or unethical behaviour on anyone around Trump, without first at least mentioning that the President is about as well-spoken as a meth addict on the tail end of a 5 day binge, is just plain disingenuous.
Speaking of Fox News and attacks on journalists, here is a story about an angry mob who surrounded the house of a reporter the other night shouting terroristic threats.
The silence will be deafening around here in regards to Antifa terrorizing Tucker Carlson's family, I could think of a few on this message board who would have gladly taken part in the proceedings.
A good litmus test for just about anything is to completely reverse the roles, can you imagine the meltdown on this very message board [and rightly so] if some conservative group chanted "we know where you live" outside Jake Tapper's house at night, terrorizing his wife and children? Honestly think about that for a moment.
You're absolutely right it is wrong both ways, but I doubt anyone here with very few exceptions will lose much sleep over what happened at Tucker's house last night, until Ken mentioned it there wasn't a word about it, at 41 seconds into the video they are literally threatening his family with that very thing.
A group of incensed Antifa protesters surrounded the home of FOX News star Tucker Carlson on Wednesday night. They rang the doorbell and chanted, calling the conservative host a "racist scumbag" for his support of the border wall.
Videos showing the small but rowdy group of self-described “anti-racist activists” rallying outside what appears to be the home of the Tucker Carlson Tonight host were posted by the group Smash Racism DC on Wednesday evening.
The protesters brought multiple posters with them, placing one that read "stop racism" by Carlson's door. At one point, a protester ran up to the front porch and knocked on the door.
Bryen, I WILL celebrate the day Rush Limbaugh dies. I do not wish him to be killed by Antifa or FemiNazis, but I do wish he dies a natural death today. He's awful, and he brings out the worst in people (even me).
Yes comparing the misuse of power by a bunch of kids who have a hard time scraping together enough cash to buy bandanas to cover their faces to the President of the US, who controls more weaponry then any other person in the history of civilization is a completely fair comparison that we should be spending our time on.
