    Watch...

    The poor woman trying to take the microphone away. Sheesh.

    These reporters have no respect for the office of the Presidency.

    "I think you should let me run the country and you run CNN. And if you did it well, your ratings would be much better."

    HA HA HA HA HA HA!! Nicely done, Mr. President.

    Acosta is not a journalist but a Democrat hack through and through. I believe he led Handgun Control Inc. in the past. His White House press pass was pulled - good for him.

    Acosta should not be landing a karate chop on any White House employee. You would think that CNN would fire him and try to get him some treatment.

    This is how it starts. They really need to police themselves.

    The press seems to think that Acosta is okay in acting like a bully at the White House. Trump should refuse to accept another CNN reporter in the White House press corps even in the unlikely event that CNN fires Acosta

    Acosta has been a very rude person for a long time. I would like to think that he has something wrong with him such as an addiction or a mental illness but I guess that he is just a Maxine Waters liberal socialist. I think that he and CNN should be thrown out of the White House Press corps. There are other news organizations that have more viewers than CNN that should have a seat at the table.

    Here are some examples of Acosta's rude behavior:

    He's all atwitter:

    Jim Acosta on Twitter

    Jim Acosta‏ @Acosta Nov 7
    I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit

    Jim Acosta on Twitter

    Jim Acosta‏ @Acosta Nov 7
    The US Secret Service just asked for my credential to enter the WH...(Sorry this video is not rightside up)



    "my hit"?
    "sorry video not rightside up"?

    He's a professional journalist?

    Now CNN and Acosta claim that they are going to sue the White House or have already done so. Also, Acosta says over and over that he did not touch the White House intern and that the film was doctored. However, CNN has declined to show the film.

    I think that I would respect CNN more if they just admitted the truth.

    Some are saying that the reporters act so wild because their bosses order them to turn the press conferences into a circus. It is really disgusting. Trump should give up on having press conferences and cut down on the daily briefings until after Christmas.

    That is a good point!

    Also, a hit bird flutters.

    CNN has now filed a lawsuit against Trump claiming that he cannot disinvite lady killer Acosta from the White House. Trump should just shut CNN out from everything. I never heard of a President unable to control admittance to the White House.

    Trump should throw CNN for good and put in Newsmax if they they are not already there.

    Frivolous lawsuit. Any judge worthy of the title will toss it.

    I believe Sarah Sanders should continue to hold daily briefings , but not answer any questions at all. She should do this until the press understands that there are standards for their behavior and the will be no questions until they understand and cooperate.

    Fox got in on it, too. Fox is going bad now that Senior has given it over to his two sons. It turns out that Kennedy threw a newspaper out of the White House Press Corps. Where in the Constitution does it say that the press tells the President who he can talk with and who he cannot talk with?

    Have you seen the doctored video where Acosta knocks out the intern? I saw it last night again but I don't remember where. Acosta is trying to say that he did not touch the intern but his own network declined to play the C-Span video. Acosta is creepy. He just got divorced and I am wondering if he hates women?

    There is no doctored video. I saw the event live, as it happened. The YouTube video in my original post was on YouTube within hours of the event. The source of the YouTube video is NBC news, no friend of Trump. This is exactly what happened when it went out live.

    Yeah, I know. C-Span had video and it shows that Acosta gave the intern sort of a karate chop. But someone out there made a video that show Acosta giving her a roundhouse and knocking her down with the comment that this is a doctored video. CNN, Fox, Acosta are all lying when they say that Acosta did not touch the poor intern.

    OK, I thought you might have been referring to this gigantic nothing burger:

    White House accused of doctoring footage of CNN's Jim Acosta

    I saw it as it happened and replayed it later.

    He did indeed give her a mild chop.

    I don't think it could be assault on his part though as she was the aggressor initiating his "defensive" action.

    Certainly an ungentlemanly action.
