Yes, incidental contact, not forceful at all. His arm moved while her arm went across his body to reach for the mic. It was not assault. As I said before, the woman throwing chocolate milk on the other women, which I believe you brought up, was more of an assault that this incidental contact.
Again, if it was assault, why did none of the law enforcement at the White House make an arrest?
She backed away, and did not, DID NOT, move toward him and grab the microphone while wrapping its cord around his neck to garrote him silent.

If they coulda they woulda. I see this as an attempt by the WH to create an assault scenario among other things... see what sticks.
You know like that quarterback on 4th down pretending to go for it instead of punting and hoping to draw the other team offsides and then at last min calling it off and leaving the field to the punt team...instead of gaining the penalty yards
My apologies to those articulate in football. I think my analogy may be comprehended if you squint? "
Oh for gods sake I saw it live broadcast. How embarassing for you.

OMG, thank you for that! What a great moment in broadcast journalism history. Nixon never knew what hit him. LOL

I hadn't thought of his relationship with the press that way, but you're absolutely correct. It's all about him and his fabulousness, not about communicating with the rest of the country.

Actually, that's what happens in press conferences. Other reporters don't think it's a big deal - usually we're all asking the same questions anyway.

So what delusional agenda are you pushing with this unsubstantiated statement?

The intern didn't grab Acosta, she grabbed the mic. That's her job, to transfer the mic to the next journalist the president had already called.
Please stop advocating that men bully/assault women to get what they want.

Trump wouldn't know a fact if it introduced itself on the golf course - unless it was holding out a check with lots of zeroes.

Think carefully about that. The WH really has no choice but to do so. Acosta violated Labor Law. He created a Hostile Work Environment by making it impossible for the intern to do her job by using physical force/intimidation against her. According to Labor Law, the WH, as the intern's employer, could be held liable for allowing Acosta to do so. So they have no choice but to yank his credentials. It was the legally appropriate course of action.

Please explain.
Audio is missing; if the audio were still intact, the alterations in the video would be even more obvious than they already are.

The reason Acosta's credentials had to be yanked: Acosta is a male who used physical force/intimidation tomake it impossible for a female intern to do her job. That's a violation of US Labor Laws. And if the WH hadn't yanked his credentials, they, as the intern's employer, could be legally held liable for the violation.

If only he understood that respect works both ways. Calling a reporter "nasty" and whining about how the press doesn't respect you? The man has absolutely no awareness.
What he also doesn't realize is that there are more of the press corps than there are of him, and that the press is one very fraternal group of people, even though the individual reporters and their employers are competitors. Kick one reporter out of the White House, and that reporter's employer will just send another one in. Kick one news organization out of the White House, and the other news organizations will feed information to the banned organization.
There's no way for Trump to win a war with the press.
