it is accurate, he brings his arm down, touching her, to push her arm away.

If that is "unacceptable touching", everybody is guilty of sexual assault every day of their lives.
Who claimed sexual assault?
Acosta got to ask a couple questions, Trump said "Next", the girl reached for the mic, Acosta wouldn't give it up.
Acosta, you're fired.

She reaches for the mic with her left hand, Acosta comes down on her arm with his left arm.

If you really look at the video, she touches him first- has her hand over his hand that's holding the mic.
There is no spoon.
That's her job, to take the mic and give it to the next person when their turn is over. The mic is not the personal property of the reporters.

If you really look at the video without TDS, she's just reaching for the mic cuz that's her job. Acosta knows this and uses his left arm to push her arm away from the mic.

28 seconds in, he lays his hands on her, sort of a light karate chop to the arm.

OOh, now it is a karate chop. Hope he didn't break her arm!
A light karate chop to the arm is an accurate description of what happened.
I'm not saying it was a big deal or that he hurt her, just that it was uncalled for and the media is lying as usual.
In fact, a reuters reporter on twitter was showing stills of incident and complaining without showing the karate chop.

Why the hell are you allowed to be here? You denied it happened, then you called it sexual assualt, and now you're mad because ???? @Bryan, if we did a GoFundMe, could you make Zippy disappear? We'll buy out his share. Him owning a portion of these forums is the only thing that makes sense in this relationship.
Post count is priority one.

On twitter it is far worse. They are even saying she attacked him. It is like they all got their marching orders.
Their actions during the press conference were obviously coordinated, they got the response they wanted and now the pre-planned social media response.

aww the cute little psychopath who wants to watch people die on IMAX screens is getting worked up because of a light push. I bet you woulda climaxed if Trump brought out a shotgun and executed Acosta on the spot
You do it all to yourself..
Personally,, I think you make a Fine Forum Fool.
you can be proud
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Not a "karate chop." More like a jut sao that you see in tai chi or wing chun. A light move designed to redirect energy as opposed to causing harm. That said, he didn't have a right to keep dominating the mic at that point. Had she been a man he wouldn't have tried that.

I'm not seeing any evidence where she assaulted a member of the press? Neither there was mic snatching.
That said, he was unpolite. When someone from team MAGA requests the mic, why not oblige the request in the interest of freedom of speech harmony?

Acosta is a jerk. Won’t listen, won’t shut up. He’s monopolizing everyone else’s time. Clearly mom never taught him any mannners.

Must be something in the name, "Acosta."
“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
Acosta is a scumbag.
"Perhaps one of the most important accomplishments of my administration is minding my own business."
Calvin Coolidge
Dude was obnoxious as hell. What part of one question each does CNN figure means excepting them?
Not just obnoxious - the question was straight up "When did you stop beating the caravan?" People are supposed to go to journalism school to NOT ask those type questions
Poynter comments on that issue of Acosta's lack of journalist integrity:
"Jim Acosta’s encounter Wednesday at a White House press conference was less about asking questions and more about making statements. ...
Acosta asked the president if Trump had demonized the caravan of Central Americans trekking toward the United States, ending his exchange by stating, “It is not an invasion.” If Acosta had asked “What about that seems like an invasion?” he could have both sought an answer ... Acosta asked. “Do you think that you demonize immigrants?” To which the president answered, “No.” A better question might have been, “How do you respond to the criticism that you are demonizing certain types of immigrants, namely poor immigrants?”
But then Acosta’s questions ended and his statements began. “Your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls,” ... “They are hundreds of miles away, that’s not an invasion.” ... A briefing is not the same as a cable news wrestling match, where sides shout at each other. Acosta should have handed over the microphone. ..."
"Let it not be said that we did nothing." - Dr. Ron Paul. "Stand up for what you believe in, even if you are standing alone." - Sophie Magdalena Scholl
"War is the health of the State." - Randolph Bourne "Freedom is the answer. ... Now, what's the question?" - Ernie Hancock.
If a Republican did this they would have to make a public apology and resign if they were not immediately fired. The cable news networks would be covering it 24x7 for days until he is fired or resigns.
