TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN MANAGER WANTS CNN REPORTER'S CREDENTIALS REVOKED OVER QUESTIONS DURING NORTH KOREA
Newsweek ^ | 12 June 18 | Greg Price

Posted on 06/12/2018 10:31:23 AM PDT by SkyPilot

The head of President Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign called for the revoking of CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s press credentials over the reporter’s questions to Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un while the leaders signed an agreement Tuesday.

Brad Parscale, who previously served as digital media director to Trump’s 2016 campaign, lambasted Acosta as an “absolute disgrace” for shouting out questions during the signing ceremony while citing an article from conservative website The Daily Wire.

“Jim @Acosta should immediately have his press credentials suspended. He is an absolute disgrace! @realDonaldTrump,” Parscale tweeted.

President Trump previously kicked CNN's Jim Acosta out of the oval office.

Kicked him out of the oval office? I want to see Acosta simply kicked - repeatedly. Trump doesn't have to use his fighting skills from his involvement with wrestling events, he has a team of people, put them to use. Legally, of course. Resisting arrest, nuisance activity, crying in public, etc. Kick him hard and often.

Reporters should respect the decorum of an event or have their credentials pulled permanently, zero tolerance.

I’m for cancelling press briefings; hand them a paper once a week

They should at least turn off the cameras, like they did at the beginning of Trump's term.

Don’t tell CNN they can’t come at all, they just cant send someone who will behave like Acosta.

It would have been funny if Kim would have looked over at Acosta and said “you fake news” then turned to Trump and they laughed “HA HA HAAHAH” together...

Suspension is not my first choice, I’d prefer that he sit in the back corner of the briefing room, facing the corner, wearing a dunce cap for 2 weeks.

> Acosta is never at the White House to report on the news, he’s there to make the news.

Which of course is a complete betrayal of his alleged role of journalist.

Any journalist that makes the news while covering the news has failed in the biggest way. You cannot both report and be the news.

Can you imagine a reporter yelling out some stupid question at Yalta? He’s too narcissistic to be ashamed.

Nope...no announcement. No comment. Nothing.

When he shows up at the White House, tell him his credentials have been revoked.

No warning, no nothing. Just a denial of entry.

When he whines, tell CNN that this one is broken and to send a different one.

A team needs to be put on Jim Acosta with a primary goal of completely destroying him financially. His net worth is only about $2 million, so it shouldn’t take long.

I’ll go with your plan. And to have his dunce cap lifted, he needs to say on air 100 times “I will not be a dickhead.”

Press freedom is NOT affected if the White House revokes press credentials and they no longer are welcome at the White House or on trips. They can stand outside the fence like the rest of us.
