Bwahahaha. Nonsense. The secret service doesn't over react to being brushed with a arm or we wouldd have thousands of causalities a year from them. You folks are just something else. People associated with the Republican side should be ashamed by this sort of nonsense
That young lady is an intern; not a trained Secret Service person and undoubtedly taken by surprise. She was simply being told to take the mike from Acosta. The Secret Service would have had Acosta out of there in a heartbeat, hands behind his back. They are always somewhere around the President, maybe not in plain sight but they are there.

Ever watched the secret service at a event? They get jostled non stop. They would do absolutely nothing. Because this is a big nothing. This attempt to turn it into assault is pathetic. Take a look GOP folks. This is your side. The "safe space" comments you enjoy? THIS IS YOUR SIDE. Look upon it and weep.
Given that you are literally posting made up propaganda via a doctored video.....the comment is not out of line, or incorrect. You and your constant posts that add nothing to the discussion are tiresome. When you run out of logical arguments you always fall back on attacks, or pointing out things we know. In this case winning what? He lost the Senate, and hes about to face actual oversight in 2 months. Thats not winning. And my boy? I dont own him. Nor is he my child.
In the end Trump supporters are not going to see facts Trump is just as much to blame for calling on Acosta.
He picked a fight knowing the outcome of it. He wanted it.
No. Try to use some kind of comprehension skills.
Brushing someone's arm with the back of a hand is not assault.
Anybody that views that video as assault needs their head examining..
Insult given as argument, then opinion given as fact. This is what really happened.
Acosta was most rude to his colleagues, whom he took away time for them to ask their questions.
You're not paying attention. He was not rude to his colleagues. Following up one question with another is accepted procedure during a press conference.

Absolutely. Trump baits reporters and then insults them. It's his MO with the press. He makes Lyndon Johnson look like a kitten.

You're not paying attention, either. That's not how it works.

That's not what happened, and anyone capable of reasonable thought would realize that.

Now we can call him "Jim the Accoster".
You do realize that's slanderous, don't you?
Totally no class.

So ... you've never participated in a press conference? That's what happens in a press conference. The reporters don't consider one another rude when they interrupt or yell. That's how the job gets done.

It's called defending the free press, which is essential to the operation of a free society.

All your posts in this thread are clutching at straws.

I would have to say please consult a dictionary and learn the origin of "snowflake" as it's used in slang.

I kinda think you have to be a real simpleton to transfer a single person's behavior onto anybody other than *that* person.
