CNN reporter Jim Acosta on Wednesday denied the White House's claim that he became physical with a young female White House intern during a heated exchange earlier that day with President Trump. Acosta said on CNN's "Anderson Cooper 360" that he was "trying to hang onto the microphone" when he was approached by the intern, who tried to take his microphone away as he attempted to ask a question of Trump during a White House press briefing.
"I didn’t put my hands on her or touch her as they’re alleging. It’s unfortunate the White House is saying this," Acosta said on CNN. "… I think I handled myself professionally."

It is on video Jim
Ah, but Jim all of America has seen you do it!
WHCA condemns White House decision to suspend press pass of CNN’s Acosta
Any plans to condemn Acosta’s unprofessional behavior. Guess not. That is how a brave MSM behaves.
It was his forearm.
He’d be telling the literal truth if he’d kicked her.
Doesn’t make it right.
Not to sound crude, but she should have punched him in his junk.
who cares, you’re an abscess, Jim.
And now that my Golden White House Press pass has been pulled, I won’t ever do it again, either!
Acosta is an ass, and should have been booted long ago.
Acosta has no manners/respect for POTUS Trump at all and talks to him as if he was a piece of trash. Acosta needs an Attitude Adjustment and a lesson in proper protocol in addressing the POTUS.
They are fake news and they lie about everything, all the time.
On the weekend, our church had a guest speaker, Abdu Murray, of RZIM. His sermon concerned living in a ‘post-truth’ world, where facts don’t matter and feelings and preferences are valued more highly than truth. Jimmy the Accoster is a poster boy for the ‘post-truth’ society we live in.

No, he hit her with the flat of his hand inside of her elbow...see video link, which shows standard speed as well as slowed down zoom.

Wasn’t a CNN camera used to record the assault? Could be fake news.
:: I think I handled myself professionally.::
Only if you’re a professional five year old. That was such an embarrassing display. Is this what passes for professional adult behavior in this country? It would not go well for me if I pulled something like that at my office, that I can tell you! ;-)
He may or may not have actually “karate chopped” her arm but he definitely pushed her arm down and he was physically resisting the staffer who was trying to do her job.
Who cares what he says. Throw him out and CNN with him. Replace CNN with Breitbart.
