Brave W.H. Intern, while still quite shaken, doing OK after Acosta briefly brushed against her arm

Sanders and Conway are in full spin / lie mode today, commenting on the "assault."

And yes, it is a distraction from the Muller investigation.

He calmly says, "pardon me, ma'am". Now I hear there is an edited version put out by Infowars circulating - just outraging the deplorables. Maybe they wouldn't be so mad and applaud Acosta if he body slammed her. They seem to like that move more so that touching a forearm to another forearm.

Although only 28 and a backgound in fitness. No intern makes $130,000 a year. This is the same bull sh*** republics tried to portray poor little innocent intern Monica

Did she have have an earphone? Was she given a hand signal? I thought it was obviously contrived by a Hope Hicks stand in. The victimhood message was really quick. Acosta had an opportunity to do a good old fashioned mike drop but who thinks that quickly?

He was minding his own business, talking to the President, moving his hand a little as he talked. She approached him, moved into his personal space, and reached across his chest and hand to grab at the microphone held in his other hand. Her arm was the arm that was moving in.
