"The View" co-host Sunny Hostin said it was the young White House aide and not CNN reporter Jim Acosta who committed battery when attempting to remove a microphone from Acosta’s hand at a press conference on Wednesday.
Acosta got into a heated exchange with President Trump, who told Acosta to sit down and refused to take further questions from the reporter.
A White House aide, later identified as an intern, then tried to remove the microphone from Acosta, who resisted and asked a follow-up question.
As the intern tried to grab the mic, Acosta said, "pardon me, ma'am" and continued to try to ask his question. Acosta's hand made contact with the intern's arm during the exchange.
“What I saw was a battery, not by Jim Acosta, but by the young White House aide,” Hostin said on the ABC show on Thursday.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in explaining the White House decision to remove the press credentials from Acosta said he put his hands on the young woman, calling it “absolutely unacceptable.”
Acosta has denied the claims, calling them “a lie.”
"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 Wednesday. "I think I handled myself professionally."
ETC...
Oh, sure. That intern totally beat his ass. I saw the whole thing!
Also, is Hostin so ignorant as to have not checked that?
The only thing worse than watching The View is having to work with people who watch The View.
That intern should have beat his ass.
Touching someone is not battery. It is no wonder this woman is on The View as opposed to practicing law. She sucks at it.
Libs always have to have the last word and always have to be the victim.
In answer to your questions, yes and yes.
Hey!
Sunny!
Failure to recognize reality is the very definition of crazy.
if that were the case, she would have kicked that bully’s ass
The ill-mannered jerk has not acted professionally in a long time. You don’t accept an invitation to go to the White House and expect to make up your own rules, while you are there.
“I think I handled myself professionally.”
Acosta is one shameless hussy, lol!
If a person believes a View host then they have more problems than politics.
Poor Acosta was no match for that big mean female bully!!!!
I saw a strong armed robbery attempt by Acosta to gain (or continue) unauthorized use of sensitive technical equipment.
Only a dozen arrests for treason durinng the 60’s could have stopped this explosion of sedition. Evil grows in the absence of justice. Now I honestly don’t know if anything can help us.
Blaming the female victim...
#Ibelieveher
Typical of the left. They create an alternate reality, and make themselves believe it. Then they talk about it on the air as if it were true, and have millions of fellow a$$holes believing it too.
She tried reaching around him and he kept blocking her arm with his, and in the last encounter, he forcefully pushed her arm.
