Like Everything That Comes From Sarah Huckabee, That Was A Lie. Acosta Never Put His Hands On Her.

Like everything else that comes out of the vile, prolific lying machine named Sarah Huckabee, her claim that Jim Acosta's press pass has been yanked because he 'put his hands on a young woman' is utter bullshit.

Acosta's hands never made contact with her, as she tried to yank the microphone out of his hand. His left elbow made accidental contact with her left elbow, but his hands never touched her.

Trump is revoking Acosta's WH press pass because he doesn't like Acosta's questions. FASCISM, pure and simple. Try to intimidate and mollify the press by selectively denying access to reporters who ask non-obsequious questions.

Are they going to show any solidarity, or will they just let each other get picked off like a bunch of simpering sheep.

solidarity against this nightmare? The only thing he would hate more that the "lying press" is no press at all.

Did anyone direct her to seize the mic from Acosta, or did she just decide on her own to walk over to him and assault him ?

When Trump points at a reporter, she's supposed to carry the microphone over to them. Then, when Trump points to another reporter, she's supposed to take it away, and bring it to the next reporter. Acosta initially refused to let go of it.

I don't think it's been done that aggressively before. Trump was basically directing her to get the mic away from Acosta, which lead to this goofy wrestling match.

I don't know if the Obama Administration passed the mic around that way. I don't think they did. It's yet another bully-boy invention of the Trump clown show.

This administration better get its shit together, because this behavior is intolerable and unacceptable.

I have never seen such abusive, uncivilized comportment by a sitting U S president. I have long believed that he did not possess the temperament for the job. He has just validated my point.

And we, the American people must demand that it stop. Now. This is NOT his personal sandbox and if he is this unhinged now, wait a few months.
