Whitehouse suspends CNN reporter press pass

[enhanced_deficit]

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?

Post count is priority one.

Maybe we could get people to commit to making extra posts.

Your avatar has me rolling on the floor girl.

Just when I thought people would stop calling me a girl if I switched back to my pre-2016 avatar away from the pretty eagle one

[Swordsmyth]

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.

You must spread some reputation around.....

[pcosmar]

OOh, now it is a karate chop. Hope he didn't break her arm!

You do it all to yourself..

Personally,, I think you make a Fine Forum Fool.

you can be proud

Jeff Zucker is done if she ends up with a black and blue mark tomorrow.

Acosta never even thanked everyone for coming out to his press conference. It was all about him right?

[dude58677]

This isn’t the act of a tyrant but the act of a celebrity who is pissed off at stupid questions on a daily basis by the media:

About time. The guy is a scumbag. And incredibly rude.

Now all the nutbag bleeding heart liberals on Twitter are saying the intern attacked Acosta. The same people who are all about believing and supporting women in all circumstances, right?

If they bother you, remind them Acosta's a white male.

True, Trump does not act classy and presidential like Reagan. However, no one at CNN acts classy like Walter Cronkite.

[shakey1]

Media whore.

[Influenza]

lul meanwhile trump praises snowflake politicians who body slam reporters when they get triggered

Touche. Nostalgia struck me again.

It gets us all.

I heard he wasn't even banned, he just had his "hard" pass revoked so now he has to walk around the grounds with a chaperon.

[Ender]

It gets us all.

LOL- indeed, it does.

All I saw was an obnoxious Acosta, an obnoxious Trump, an intern taking the mic as Acosta was still talking and her/him touching each other in what was a natural encounter- not a "karate" chop.

Because he was CNN everyone here hates him- if he was Kavanaugh many here would be shouting in his favor.

Just more left/right silliness, IMHPOV.

Well, at least this time Trump's behavior was provoked, reactive and justifiable.

He put his hands on her to prevent her from doing her job and suddenly this is now okay?

Even if you did this in a corporate environment 30+ years ago you would be immediately walked out of the building if others did already drag you out of the building and beat the crap out of you for it.

If Trump did this there would be immediate impeachment proceedings. Any Republican politician would have to apologize and resign. If it was a right wing or Fox News host they would have been fired immediately and there would be total condemnation from everyone on the network to distance themselves from this reporter.

There would be protests in every city if it were anyone other than a sacred CNN employee.

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

That gif doesn't show how it actually was- makes it look like shoving- which doesn't show on the vid.

And, I didn't say it was OK- just said they were all jerks.

She had already gone to retrieve the mic from him once before.

[TheTexan]

It's not even really about the intern. Acosta is just a rude, terrible person, period.

It's not?

Trump has good taste in interns.

All videos clearly show her doing her job to take the mic to the next reporter and him pushing her arm down to stop her. Are you really going to deny this?

All I'm saying is that everybody was a jerk & this incident is being blown way out of proportion.

Put him in the back of the room and don't let him ask questions for a few weeks/months.
