It does not. The press has no right to ask a President anything. A President chooses who can talk to the press. They are called "spokesman." No reporter has the right to ask anything. If so, where is it in the Constitution?

Not exactly is it, except that freedom of assembly and speech are a given, but when disrupting the peace, things may go differently. As a profession, ethics are to be expected from journalists. The Oval Office is allowed to have a reasonable set of rules.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

So, where's that outline at?

[Dr. Who]

He has went over the line many times but striking a female WH worker did it.
I have watched the video several times - he never struck her. He simply didn't relinquish the mic. At one point he held his arm out to prevent her from taking it from him - that's not striking her.

[Chloe]

He knocked her hand away.
Ok but he didn't. You can change the playback speed of the video on youtube. At the 20th second his left hand is in the air when she grabs at the microphone and never "knocks her hand away". You don't have to like Acosta but you also don't have to go along with a pretty obvious exaggeration of the event by the White House either.

[Chloe]

The women didn't make the claim. This is a pretty easy example of the White House trying to use this exaggerated physical contact as a way to revoke his credentials.

...like Acosta never exaggerates a damned thing...............I've yet to see one of his articles portrayed as anything but an attack on Trump. He has shouted over Sanders and Trump both. He refuses to take his turn answering questions.....he's not a fricking reporter, he's a hack for the Irrational Inquirer, because only the irrational want to know what Acosta has to say....

Whatever. Another day, I guess.

Acosta is overly obnoxious and overbearing not only does he try to provoke trump, he tries to steal the show every WH press conference by refusing to give up the floor and allow others to ask questions. Hes been doing this from day one, then he goes back to cnn and LIES and makes it up as he goes along.

[roadmaster]

I watched it live. He knew she was suppose to take the mic and give it to another person. He knew as always before Trump had already nodded for her to take the mic. He has been a reporter for a long time. She attempted 3 times and he held onto it pulling away. The last time he tried to block her arm. I don't know if this intern is on the left or right but he tried to intimidate this young woman and did touch her knowing it was her job to do this. She looked upset, embarrassed and humiliated. I felt bad for her and you could tell on her face she didn't know what to do. I thought someone was going to have to help her.

Right, then ban him because he's obnoxious and unprofessional, but don't make up a stupid lie that can be proven to be a lie. That just makes the WH look unprincipled and disingenuous.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." -George Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four

[jimmyz]

How I saw it -

The intern was abruptly grabbing for the mike and Acosta wasn't giving it up. Acosta blocked the attempt somewhat with his free hand. I didn't see any "strike" upon the intern. Acosta was given the bumbs rush verbally by President Trump because of the history the two have. He stood too long after his first questions were answered and acted in a rude manner after he didn't recognize that he should have sat down instead of trying to show up Trump.

The tech nerd at the WH in charge of the audio system should have more than one mic handy and the ability to turn off a mic remotely in these type instances. No 20 year old female intern should be put in a situation of trying to wrestle a mic from an unruly reporter's hands.

[Safety]

It's a sad day in America where a press journalist is held to a higher standard than the f'king president.

[gamewell45]

Acosta didn't strike that woman; she tried to take back the microphone and he refused to give it back to her. She should have stood there and asked for it back without touching him in the first place.

I know, it's a shame that so many here are so partisan that they can't find the morals to call it like it is. Bless their heart.

[roadmaster]

No other reporter decided to wrestle and strong arm with this intern over the mic. Every time Trump nodded they gave her the mic. That was her job and he tried to make it a power game. He could have given it to her and still talk to Trump, no he wanted to humiliate her to the point to where it looked like she was so upset she walked to the back of the room, probably exited. What was she suppose to do fight him.

I'm not saying he didn't get what he deserved; but for some to accuse him of assault IMO was wrong. If he's being disruptive and refused to yield the floor when asked to then they are certainly entitled to do what they have to do to maintain order. But if the suspension is based upon his alleged assault on the woman, then that is wrong.

They no doubt would be placed under arrest for assault and most likely could face civil litigation for damages in a court of law.

No deflection, Common, just four plus years of being here at tPF and seeing the stark difference in your outrage between administrations. Trump acted like a spoiled douchebag, and his supporters eat it up because they also have the same disdain for liberals having the audacity of asking the emperor questions. Another example is when Peter Strzok was being questioned and all of you were bitching about how smug and arrogant he was acting, yet you say Kavanaugh was being "passionate" when he displayed the same behavior.

Just because you say it, doesn't make it true. I told you before, I was taking notes at all the faux outrage that took place in the previous administration here at tPF, and I knew it would be totally different when someone of a different ideology got into office. If you don't like me calling you out for being phony on your outrage, then you should not have set the standard prior to 2016. Here's the problem with your entire premise about me....you set the bar for how we interact with political issues because I joined the site in '14, so there is nothing to "gauge" my "expectation of others not to do the same". In order for that to work, the discussions would have to start prior to Obama, then you can make the argument that I whataboutism'ed Bush, but didn't whataboutism Obama. That isn't the case, so your argument is without merit.

@Chloe (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=565) I watched the video. The intern reaches for the mic and Acosta brings his arm down on her's to stop her. It's clear enough that he used his arm to knock her's away. I don't know what you're seeing.


https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1042456/Jim-Acosta-CNN-Donald-Trump-White-House-exchange-press-pass-removed-intern-midterms



She reached under his arm to get the mic and he brought his arm down. He had no right to do that. I'm not saying he assaulted her but he should have given her the mic and certainly he shouldn't pushed her arm away.

It's tiresome that anything that happens is on Trump but never on the press. Acosta went beyond any right he had.

[Captdon]

I have watched the video several times - he never struck her. He simply didn't relinquish the mic. At one point he held his arm out to prevent her from taking it from him - that's not striking her.

He pushed her arm down. Watch it again.

[Captdon]

I don't care whether he struck her or not. He was being an $#@! and it wasn't the first time. His credentials should have been revoked long ago.


He knocked her arm away. That's physical contact. I can see it clearly on a video. How people can say they didn't see any contact is hard to believe.

[Captdon]

Makes no difference; you never place your hands on anyone. She was in the wrong. If he didn't turn it over to her, then she should have followed the appropriate protocol in place whatever that would be.

She reached for the mic because that's the normal procedure. Acosta knocking her arm away is not. See the difference? No other reporter ever does that. When an intern reaches for the mic, they give it up. Not special boy Acosta. He knocked her arm away.

How anyone can defend what Acosta did is beyond me.

[Captdon]

Yes, I understand that you are a willing participant for a dictatorial society with no difficult questions being asked of your dear leader, but why don't you for once pretend Obama was the president and Fox news was the reporter in this instance, you would be the loudest one saying how Obama was not acting presidential and attacking a news organization like a child throwing a temper tantrum.


Why don't you pretend you aren't a Trump hater and see how much of your bullshit you'd be saying. None.

[Captdon]

I'm not saying he didn't get what he deserved; but for some to accuse him of assault IMO was wrong. If he's being disruptive and refused to yield the floor when asked to then they are certainly entitled to do what they have to do to maintain order. But if the suspension is based upon his alleged assault on the woman, then that is wrong.

It doesn't include knocking her arm away.

[Captdon]

They no doubt would be placed under arrest for assault and most likely could face civil litigation for damages in a court of law. One thing you need to recognize is that no matter how frustrated you get, you cannot place your hands on anyone in anger or without their permission, otherwise you'll end up in jail. Maybe that's your mindset in this forum, but for society's sake I hope you do not think like that outside this forum.

Oh, the woman won't let this go any farther. Acosta won't be able to hit her arm again. I'm sure he didn't plan on hitting her but he did.

[Common Sense]

There was no knocking of her arm.

She pulled the mic and his arm lightly brushed hers as he was pulled forward.

Maybe people are watching the altered version made by Infowars that was shared by Sanders.

[Cannons Front]

I will not wade into the assaulted the staffer saga, I will sum this whole situation really simple. The person holding the briefing runs the briefing, not the press. If it is the Pres Sec or the POTUS or the Janitor it does not matter they are in charge. The format is simple, they pick a reporter to ask a question, they answer the question they way they choose, they move on. That is the way it has always been, if the reporter does not like the answer too bad. The reporters do not get to argue, they do not get to disrespect, they do not get to refuse to pass the mic, they do not get to run the briefing.
That guy has been an ass since day one, I would have kicked him to the curb a long time ago.

Please show where ANY reporter was allowed to act like that in the past, IT HAS NOT HAPPENED. Heck show me where before this POTUS any have even tried to act that way, IT HAS NOT HAPPENED. I always hear critics say he does not act Presidential, well maybe part of that is because from day one they have not treated him the way that EVERY preceding POTUS has been treated.

[Cannons Front]

There was no knocking of her arm.

The problem is he did not have the right to refuse to give her the Mic. Had he behaved the way all reporters have in the past this would have never happened.

Acosta has been asking for this since Trump was elected. He's been rude talking over other reporters, demanding off-topic questions be answered, sometimes even yelling at the president as he speaks......
He got what he was been begging for

[nathanbforrest45]

At the 15 sec mark and the 23 sec mark he clearly pushes her arm away from him to stop her from taking the microphone

Anyone who doesn't see this is either blind or so partisan as to have absolutely no credibility whatsoever.

It is quite apparent Acosta has no respect for this president and its fitting that he has lost his press pass. Hard biting questions are one thing, harassment is another and what he is doing is harassment.

Sarah Sanders accused of sharing doctored Infowars video to justify Acosta ban

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/11/08/sarah-sanders-accused-of-sharing-doctored-infowars-video-to-justify-acosta-ban/23583413/


White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/sarah-huckabee-sanders) was accused on Wednesday night of sharing a doctored video to defend the administration’s decision to revoke the press credentials (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jim-acosta-trump-white-house-ban_us_5be387f6e4b0769d24c8bb52) of CNN reporter Jim Acosta (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/jim-acosta).

Earlier in the day, President Donald Trump (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/donald-trump) called Acosta a “rude, terrible person (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-jim-acosta-cnn-press-conference_us_5be320bee4b0769d24c83bf2)” during a press conference and tried to cut off his questioning.

When a White House intern attempted to take the microphone from Acosta three times, he held onto it and continued questioning Trump.

During the intern’s final attempt, as she tried to pull the microphone away, Acosta’s hand appeared to briefly brush her arm.

“Pardon me, ma’am,” Acosta quickly said.



However, the footage Sanders shared was missing the audio, zoomed in and repeated.

Critics on social media said the speed of the footage was altered as well.

Sanders did not disclose where she obtained the video.

Just because you say it, doesn't make it true. I told you before, I was taking notes at all the faux outrage that took place in the previous administration here at tPF, and I knew it would be totally different when someone of a different ideology got into office. If you don't like me calling you out for being phony on your outrage, then you should not have set the standard prior to 2016. Here's the problem with your entire premise about me....you set the bar for how we interact with political issues because I joined the site in '14, so there is nothing to "gauge" my "expectation of others not to do the same". In order for that to work, the discussions would have to start prior to Obama, then you can make the argument that I whataboutism'ed Bush, but didn't whataboutism Obama. That isn't the case, so your argument is without merit.

BTW nothing compares to the lies, the insults the attacks that trump has gotten from the left from day one and still he erased obamas legacy in a year, BECAUSE OBAMA HAD NONE, except kissing muslim ass, givng them billions making farrahkhan happy, starting a war on police that got some murdered, and ignoring the working class because they are mostly white and wanted wide opened borders and allowed them to run over. Obama was the biggest pile of worthless to ever sit in the whitehouse :) Now you can try to insult trump with made up stuff like hes a racist

She didn't touch him as you said. Her job is to pass the mic around. She touched the mic and Acosta resisted her efforts. Acosta should get a lifetime ban from the WH press pool.

Not only that, but when he "assaulted" her arm by brushing it with the force of a gnat, she still was holding on to the microphone a few moments after. So obviously he didn't "touch" her arm as a way to remove it from the microphone.

First, in order to try to set up an equivalency, it would help if one at least tried to find a similar incident that was in the ballpark.

Yes it does in this case and the left bring out their professional mourners, whiners, ranters, ragers and blackhooded masked sissies antifa wont change it.

Acosta has been over the top and has stepped over the line since day one and hes been given more than enough rope.

He intentionally disprected the President of the United States on National TV, he refused to allow other reporters to ask questions, he dominated the microphone and refused to put it down or give it up. He was told repeated that was enough and the left on this forum because hes a drooling driveling whining pant shitting liberal try and defend him.

Its laughable and Im getting a huge kick out of reading the weak defenses by liberals.

The photo you posted makes it clear that Acosta put his hand in crook of her elbow to prevent her from taking the mic. If you are going to stand by your viewpoint, it should be with your nose in the corner out of shame.

The mic was not "a part of him". It was the property of the US Government and he had been told to give it up. She had every right to take possession of it and if he resisted, she had the right to physically remove it from his hands. I have no idea where you get this "you never touch someone without their consent" nonsense, but it isn't true.

[Don]

CNN should assign another reporter to the white house and find something else for Acosta to do. If he is allowed to return they should use a big bodyguard to hold the mike for him when he gets to ask a question. Don't let Acosta hold the mike. Better to ban him though as an example of what the white house will not allow to happen at future press events there. This has nothing to do with freedom of the press or speech.

Not sure why you expect us to act like you do.

[gamewell45]

The photo you posted makes it clear that Acosta put his hand in crook of her elbow to prevent her from taking the mic. If you are going to stand by your viewpoint, it should be with your nose in the corner out of shame.

The mic was not "a part of him". It was the property of the US Government and he had been told to give it up. She had every right to take possession of it and if he resisted, she had the right to physically remove it from his hands. I have no idea where you get this "you never touch someone without their consent" nonsense, but it isn't true.
I know I'm right and you know your right, therefore we agree to disagree on this thread. No further discussion is warranted at this time. :)

I know this is more of a rant rather than a post, if a moderator wants to warn me about it I completely understand but really I am just sick of it.

Look at where we are here 17 pages of posts at least half have nothing to do with the OP so many are infantile bickering between people that not only adds nothing to the discussion but really detracts from it and makes the forum less.
Can't we all just stop the playground name calling, insults and post your point. If you disagree with someones point can't you say so without calling them stupid? I am not claiming to be perfect but I do my best to stay on topic and stay civil.
Regardless of if you are Right or left, black or white, American or not can we just post to the point. Just think if we had not strayed into insults and babble maybe we would only have 7 pages to skim through rather than 17....

Just my 2 cents Off my soap box.

Ok but he didn't. You can change the playback speed of the video on youtube. At the 20th second his left hand is in the air when she grabs at the microphone and never "knocks her hand away". You don't have to like Acosta but you also don't have to go along with a pretty obvious exaggeration of the event by the White House either.

Maybe we didn't need to go along with Blassey Ford exaggerations. I still say believe the woman

As you can see in the picture the intern is clearing touching by attempting to take away the microphone. While he is holding the microphone it is a part of him; as an example if you are wearing a hat and someone try's to take it from you and they touch it, its considered assault. The picture is what convinced me that she made physical contact with him and as such, I stand by my viewpoint.

You can't be serious. She reached for the mic as per procedure. He knew it. He knocked her arm away.

There is no Right to be present at WH briefings. If there is, show us the fine print in this:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

The subject of a presidential press conference can be the mid term election results. Acosta gets his chance at a question and it is " Mr. president, are you a racist"? "Mr President, are you a misogynist"?

Nonsense. Trump didn't turn down any questions by any of the other reporters present and Acosta was far from being the smartest one in the room.

Acosta was being an ass and being deliberately disruptive, refusing to give up the mic to other reporters. Trump didn't shut Acosta down because he was afraid of being questioned. He shut him down because Acosta was being unprofessional, rude, and combative. In other words, his usual punk ass self.

Thread summary:

1. Trump is a whimpering wuss who melts down when asked even easy questions. He is, without a doubt, the biggest crybaby to ever hold the office. And that's one reason the Trump fans here worship him. They see a kindred soul there, someone who is just like themselves.

2. The Trump admin claimed Acosta laid hands on the woman. That was an outright lie, and that's not debatable. And all of the Trump fans here are totally fine with that lie. They literally don't care that their heroes lie outright all the time.

3. A few of the Trump fans here are proudly and openly lying for their cult by declaring cult Acosta assaulted the woman. They're actually telling us to believe them over our lying eyes. That's how cults work. The cultists know they're lying, they know everyone knows they're lying, but they lie anyways, because it's what the cult demands of them. It would take guts and ethics that they don't possess to say "No, I won't lie for the cult."

4. Many of the Trump fans here are going full metal Stalinist and by demanding that the press suck up to DearLeader with as much gusto as they do, or else pay the consequences. The nerve of that Acosta, asking tough questions. PURGE HIM! What does he think he is, a journalist?

5. Sarah Sanders published a doctored video to back up her lie, another bit of open Stalinism from the Trump admin. Hoosier was especially thrilled by that. But then, it was Stalinism, so of course he was thrilled.

6. Some of the Trump fans are putting that young woman in front of them as a shield, essentially hiding behind her skirts. Very manly of them.

This illustrates why it's so good to be a liberal. There's no mob demanding that individual liberals groupthink along with the mob. Among liberals, it's expected that you'll tell the truth and put country over party. Among conservatives, it's expected that you'll lie and put party over country. So, liberal souls are safe, while conservative souls are at risk, being how their cult is constantly demanding that they behave in an evil manner.

I knew as soon as I saw this I would find he was on a tour that anyone could take. But do we get any honestly from you? Nope as usual. Then your nimrod running pals post without reading because it fits a narrative.

[Orion Rules]

I personally think that Acosta flirts with an unprofessional line sometimes and knows that he is provoking Trump, but he clearly didn't strike or lay hands on her. I mean, come on.

I tend to agree with Chloe because the stories kept expanding. Jim Acosta is a good reporter who stands firm on his positions, whether agreed with or not, even if he is told that he is wrong. His credential's list should expand.

There was a strike he attempted upon, but cut himself short of it. The President needs to have a sit-down with Mr. Acosta to explain his positions. It may be difficult to tell what side(s) the President is on, because if he campaigned one way, but did something different, to there are the regards. A perfect example is the war in Yemen.
