What sort of insane world are you people living in?

Has the intern made a statement regarding this "incident?"
That "Pardon me, ma'am" was not an apology... it was an "Hey, don't take the mic, I'M JIM ACOSTA"!

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.

He did. It's clearly shown on the C-SPAN video.

Inappropriate of him not to relinquish the microphone ? Absolutely.

Overly aggressive? Nah.

Possibly illegal? That's laughable - contact a lawyer.

He didn't bully her either.

You folks must be so hypersensitive that you feel intimidated and bullied by people who don't slowly and gently do what you want them to do. Which is fine - we all have our issues - but don't pretend this is normal thinking or that anyone else needs to buy into it

Default and we're all talking about THIS

Well done, sir.

Once again he's creating drama. Another scene in his reality show. A little sleight of hand.

Actually, it does. Making it impossible for someone to do their job is a violation of Labor Law.

And if the raw footage shows beyond a shadow of a doubt all those things some claim here -- why would The White House feel the need to use doctored video?

That makes no sense at all.

The only reason The White House would choose to present a fake video is because they feel that the original is not conclusive.

That's the only reason I'm sure Sarah Sanders would lie right - -her being such a decent human being and all.

Anyone remember this?

Jim Acosta had a spirit brother from Fox News (I think it was Fox News). Constantly interrupting and disrupting. Obama simply tossed the guy out of the room and he did it to the cheers and applause of the news corps. I agree with him. That was Obama's house at the time and the President can kick anyone out of his house that he wants.

How is that complicated or hard to understand?

Correct, and clearly visible in the C-SPAN video.

Actually it doesn’t.

Labor law has nothing to do with this; you’re literally grasping at straws out of desperation to push an incredibly weak narrative.
