Meanwhile Trump named a CNN commentator to take over his Justice Department.

never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern

"Put his hands on an intern"? He did not lay hands on her. Fake news. Fox News claimed he pushed her. Video:

"Put his hands on an intern"? Not accurate. Video:

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

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.

 

[Zippyjuan]

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.

Must be something in the name, "Acosta."

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

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.

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

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.

Acosta is a scumbag.

 

[Jamesiv1]

If you really look at the video, she touches him first- has her hand over his hand that's holding the mic.

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.

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

 

[acptulsa]

Dude was obnoxious as hell. What part of one question each does CNN figure means excepting them?

 

[kahless]

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.

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.

thank you for agreeing he did touch her, please edit your #2 post

 

[Jamesiv1]

I'm surprised Acosta's press pass wasn't suspended a long time ago. Every video I've seen of him he goes on and on when it's clearly time to give up the mic.

CNN's ratings are in the toilet, however. If they don't go gonzo, they won't have any viewers at all.

Trump has good taste in interns.
