Give answers like: “well, maybe......or maybe not”.. “ we shall see, probably some time later”—————.

[Terry Mross]

Is there some hidden reason he gets called on? There are people in the room who never get called on. Come on, Saray. Stop it!

[Freee-dame]

Oops. And what it (a follow up question) is NOT.

[353FMG]

He knows himself to be safe under the first Amendment.

[Terry Mross]

If Sarah is going to call on him then answer his questions as though they were asked of Obama.

Acosta: Why does the president keep calling the migrant caravan an invasion?”

Sarah: He’s working on his picks in the NCAA round ball tournament. Next.”

[upchuck]

I’m sticking with my original thought: Let Acosta back in to the press room, just don’t call on him. Pretend he isn’t there.

"And why do they continue to call on the little pissant?"

In professional wrestling, a heel (also known as a rudo in lucha libre) is a wrestler who portrays a villain or a "bad guy" and acts as an antagonist to the faces, who are the heroic protagonist or "good guy" characters.

It doesn't cost them a thing for him to play the role.

CNN provides him for free.

Don’t call on him or any CNN journalist. Don’t call on any other reporter sitting within 6 chairs of anyone from CNN.

[jazusamo]

Agreed...It would solve the problem with the added benefit of really ticking him off.

[jazusamo]

I like it. :^)

[SkyDancer]

Then there's this one:

[falcon99]

Exactly right. If they don’t strictly enforce the rules and at a later time kick Acosta or Ryan out because they violated the rules, they won’t have a leg to stand on in court.

[dandiegirl]

I think the other reporters in the room probably have an extreme dislike for the little drama queen.

[Lent]

Well as long as they take questions from this ingrate then it will serve his platform. Don’t take questions unless the intent is to set him up with the new rules to take him down.

[MayflowerMadam]

I place the blame 100% on the White House. There are easy ways to make this stop and they never use any of them. It’s good to be able to thrive in spite of chaos, but to be complicit in creating the chaos is unacceptable. Enough already. We don’t need any more drama and angst.

[clintonh8r]

Why does she call on this turd?

[Vision]

A fool is back in the press room because a judge said he wasn't given due process for his removal (due process is only given to those being accused of criminal charges). Idiocracy.

[rockinqsranch]

I really wish she would not say “That’s not accurate”, or “That’s not true”. I wish she would say to Acosta instead “You are a liar”. Let them Pee their britches over that.
