Yes! Usually Acosta is rather lonely in his courage up there. Most of them OBEY Maru Kitteh Feb 2019 #11

**********QUOTE from Wiki:

Brian Karem is an American journalist and White House correspondent for Playboy.[1] Karem is the former Executive Editor of The Montgomery County Sentinel. He was the 1991 recipient of the National Press Club Freedom of the Press award for refusing to reveal his sources in a story related to the killing of a police officer in Texas.[2][3]

On June 27, 2017, Karem confronted deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders on "inflammatory" comments about the performance of the press while covering President Donald Trump.[4] This was not the first time Karem went head to head with an Administration. In 1992 he was covering an international drug summit in San Antonio, Texas. He asked President George H. W. Bush to comment on claims the summit was a "joke." President Bush countered that the press should ask questions of the other presidents and not him, but Karem persisted until Bush allowed Karem to ask his question to Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari.[5] Karem lost his job at KMOL over his aggressive style of questioning. This act gained him an interview with Sam Donaldson on ABC and a mention from Late Night Host, Jay Leno.[6] On June 14, 2018, Karem once again called out Sarah Huckabee Sanders at a White House Press briefing on the Administration's policy of seizing children from their parents at US border crossings: "Come on, Sarah, you’re a parent! Don’t you have any empathy for what these people are going through?” “They have less than you do. Sarah, come on, seriously."[7] ....

Trump out of respect for an office he clearly does not deserve.

It was so refreshing to see someone (in addition to Acosta) stand up to his bullying.

That's AWESOME, lol. Not a fan of Playboy, but it is rather delicious to see him attacked by an organization he's been such a big fan of, a "lifestyle" he saw himself as a demigod of.

Karem has tested the limits before, but today he was outstanding. tRump even had to hide a bit of a gulp at one point, and you could see him shake his head ever so slightly even though he didn't want to acknowledge his fear. It was magnificent!
