Following the disturbing behavior in this morning's White House press conference, when a journalist from CNN refused to hand his mic back to a White House aide... White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders announced that CNN's Jim Acosta has had his media credentials pulled: "President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern... This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter’s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any President in history. " Sanders continued: "Contrary to CNN’s assertions there is no greater demonstration of the President’s support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not supporting a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters over the course of 1.5 hours including several from the reporter in question. The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it‘s an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration. As a result of today’s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice." And Acosta has just confirmed it via tweet... "I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit" Shortly after the press briefing debacle, Rawstory reports that CNN President Jeff Zucker attempted to rally the network’s reporters... “I want you to know that we have your backs,” Zucker said a memo to employees that was obtained by The Hollywood Reporter. “That this organization believes fiercely in the protections granted to us by the First Amendment, and we will defend them, and you, vigorously, every time.” Although not even CNN probably expected this level of escalation. Which is why we wonder, how long before a) the rest of the press corps boycotts the White House briefings, and b) the hashtag #BringBackAcosta starts trending?

Breaking News: Jim Acosta found dead in his DC apartment. A microphone was found shoved up his ass and a MAGA hat was left laying on the body. The National Park Service will handle the investigation.... “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." Tramp wants his ass kissed all the time and Fox news does that. Tramp is like Reagan, thinks he is a god and all must bow.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
In the video it looked to me as if the woman in the red dress was forcibly trying to seize the microphone from him. Why can't she be charged with assault? By what legal authority is she allowed to assault him in order to silence him? Is she a LEO?
Is she a LEO? That sounds more like the woman who betrayed John Dillinger when he was killed outside the Biograph Theater in Chicago. I don't think she was undercover cop. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
Having a press pass for the White House is a privilege and is something that can be revoked at any time. The First Amendment does not apply to private scenarios. Publishing a newspaper or other periodical is within the scope of the Amendment. Do some research on Supreme Court cases and you will see this is true. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke

Acosta is just a punk. Has no interest in showing any respect to the F'N POTUS. Just another BullShit charade by the left to disparage Trump CNN - Fake News No Doubt, But they are good at providing their koolaid drinking asswipe viewers plenty of propaganda fodder to mush their simpleton brains
