BS. Her job was to take the mic. He refused to give it up and used his arm to push her arm down at the elbow thus she lost leverage in taking the mic. It’s quite arguably an assault.
I see her reaching for the mic, and his hand moving down and hitting the inside of her arm. His left hand was in a fist with the index finger pointing out . As she reaches for the mic, his left hand changes from the fist and index finger pose, then deliberately comes down to block her arm.
Accost-her definitely got physical, no matter how minor.
Fire him and and his enabler Zucker.
Give Acosta’s pass to those nice young people at Right Side Broadcasting Network.
They treat EVERYONE with respect.
If Trump had done that..?
Networks would be camped out on the front lawn of the girl’s mother.
They’d be calling ex-bf’s, current friends, producers would be pressuring them “but no pressure, m’kay?” to make statements like, “I’m really CONCERNED about her, we all love her so much and we pray for her to GET BETTER”
Kay, but THIS time can you really SELL the line? Just if you feel comfortable, though, right..?
And then reporters would get her former professors on camera, extolling how sensitive she is, how studious but SHY she is...
Basically it would be Blasey-Ford TAKE TWO.
The more I look at it and consider the law..?
I don’t know how this wasn’t BATTERY.
Yeah, at the White House.
On national TELEVISION.
I can’t believe there are people here at FR not seeing this.
He guarded the mic and hugged it at one point because it’s his precious.
wrong, as usual.
He batted her arm down. He should have given away the mic. It wouldn’t have happened if he wasn’t such an a-hole. Totally justified he’s out.
She must have really “bumped his arm” violently for her head and shoulders to jerk forward, and put her off balance.
It’s surprising a woman that forceful couldn’t have pulled the mike out his hand.
For the sake of setting an example, he should be charged with assault. And on principle and to defend staff and prevent a hostile workplace for interns and staff, he should be banned from the White House. Come on, they cannot let this type of behavior go unanswered.
Very disappointing comments at that site. People are nuts.
Hey, see now they revoked his press pass. FINALLY!!!
It is a lefty site...par for the course.
Jim’s done. He has shown “toxic masculinity” for all to see, and the rest of the WH press corps hates him, anyway. CNN will give him a long “vacation” and he’ll show up on HLN in a few months.
Meanwhile, he’ll be replaced by some CNN go-getter waiting for his or her “big chance” to work at a bare fraction of Acosta’s salary.
Win-Win for the CNN creeps.
LOL........amen.
Thanks entropy12,Her Daddy and Brothers will handle it.
I agree, but at least the WH has removed Acosta’s hard pass to attend WH press events.
Wow, the comments and memes posted on that twitter feed are just insane. Rabid, lunatic, unhinged leftists.
