While I think Acosta behaved disappointingly, the intern was NOT assaulted.

That would probably keep the press in line and they'd only ask questions like, "So how was your day, Sir". "Is Kim Il Jung going to open that Resort, hotel business".
And that's exactly the scenario I'm trying to avoid, which it does appear Trump would be happy to facilitate.

Fair, and respectful, and open to listening to all questions, asked randomly.

Apparently The White House did not mention anything about the 'assault' or physical contact with the intern in their statement to the judge.

Nothing nowhere.

Funny how they chose to imply that is why he lost his credentials but they didn't use the same argument with the judge.

I suspect they knew that argument wasn't strong enough.

Well, the video shows there's no assault.

So there's that.

It was basically a smear against Acosta. After the WH's doctored video was outed that argument completely fell apart.

I love it when people chime in on a thread when they have no knowledge of the topic at hand.
Well Im not press so why would I be at a press conference? Are you? Does one have had to attend a press conference to comment on what is happening with Acosta?
I have watched press conferences over the years though and know its not the first time members of the press have been ousted from press conferences. What has this to do with it anyway.

Wow the spelling/grammer police are out in full force.

Perhaps if this was about the first amendment but its not.

Your boy has NO CONTROL, and no civility, and yet you all think that makes him terrific. If there was ever a more reckless, rude, cantankerous , ugly natured person on this planet, we have yet to meet him. His conferences are peppered with insults, cute little names he makes up for people, and outright lies.

But that is all fine, isn't it ? We just can't have reporters who are not intimidated and who will stand up and not accept the usual BS from Trump and Sarah, right ? Got it.

O-M-G YES,HOW'S THAT FOR IRONY?????????
