Anyone who strikes and shoves someone to get their own way is committing assault and battery.
Agreed. Except that Acosta did not assault the intern as has been pointed out to you by many posters. You are blinded by your Trump-colored sunglasses.
Striking and shoving! Striking and shoving! Assault!!!
You sound like you're losing your damn mind.
Do you call 20 mph winds a hurricane?
Because that's exactly what you're doing here.
I was really flying up the interstate on my way to work today, doing upwards of 15mph in the left lane. Really glad a cop didn't pull me over for going so fast. There was a whole line of cars behind me beeping their horns at me trying to get me to slow down too.
Maybe he wouldn't be pressed if he actually answered the questions. But no, he's not capable because the public wouldn't like the answers they'd be getting. Or the public who aren't his pawns, I might clarify.
Nonsense. All politicians tend to answer the question they want to answer not the one that was asked. And all Presidents have given non-answers or answers one side can argue with but it is not the place of the reporters there to have a debate. It just isn't. This isn't a roundtable discussion. They are not there on equal footing.
Look at the photos and video of that or other press conferences. The vast majority of the press there is sitting down, mouths shut, raising their hands, and waiting to be called on to ask their question. And we repeatedly have a handful of grandstanding reporters, usually from CNN, who think they are rock stars and are above everyone else there.
The selfish Jim Acosta created an interruption and robbed time from the others. The White House needs to implement strict enforcement of the rules. If you speak a single word before you are called on or after another reporter is called on, you are immediately removed from the room and banned.

I'm Conservative. I support Trump. I am embarrassed by what other Republicans are claiming on this thread. It makes us all look overly sensitive, biased, and hysterical. Acosta did not assault the intern no matter how many times my fellow Republicans try to claim that he did. His behavior, on the other hand, does deserve getting his pass revoked.

There's a legitimate reason for banning the guy but once the argument becomes irrational, the argument loses all legitimacy.
But not to worry - if you promise not to judge all of us Dems based on the loony liberals, we promise not to judge you Republicans based on the nuts on your side.

Watch the entire C-SPAN video of the press conference. If you can point out any other journalist striking and shoving the intern in order to keep the mic after POTUS had already called on the next journalist, I'll agree it wasn't assault. Waiting.......
