Yelling out questions in the middle of a historic moment when 2 national leaders are signing documents.
There is a time and place for questions but Acosta interrupts and grandstands.
He should have his Press Credentials temporarily suspended for his actions in Singapore.
Acosta badgered Kim and Trump when they signed the agreement for the recovery of the remains of American soldiers as well as the immediate repatriation of those who have already been identified. The CNN star first asked, “Mr. President, did he agree to denuclearize?”
Trump responded that the process will start “very quickly,” but that wasn’t enough for Acosta, who shouted another question, “Did you talk about Otto Warmbier?”
Trump ignored the question about Warmbier as he signed the agreement amid sounds of camera shutters.
Definitely let him keep his press credentials. In the end he just makes himself look like an idiot, by revoking his press credentials Trump will look like the loser.
He wasn't "yelling out questions". He was asking questions the same way all press reporters ask them. The event was a press conference. That's what they do at press conferences - Q and A.
This WAS an event for the press. Would you rather place duct tape on the mouth of all press members (except Fox News, of course, right?)?
Trumpists are following Trump's lead in trashing Acosta. I wonder if RT is also trashing Acosta today. Seems Trump camp's talking points go out to the right wing media and RT at the same time.

You know what...I would normally agree, but Acosta went to far this time. He disrespected two world leaders at an historic event. He should have his WH press credentials pulled until September and gets them back only with a public apology to the country in WH press room.
Jim Acosta is the presses representative for trailer trash. CNN is waste management and Acosta is their star.
