"President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern. This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter's colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any President in history. Contrary to CNN's assertions, there is no greater demonstration of the President's support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not being supportive of a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters over the course of an hour and a half -- including several from the reporter in question. The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it is an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration. As a result of today's incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice." -- Sarah Sanders


Acosta loses all access pass

"Washington in battle mode as Trump vows retaliation against Democratic probes"

Maturity has never been his strong suit.

You might try watching the incident, instead of quoting the Press Liar's statement.

The claim that Trump is supportive is hilarious. The claim that he would not support somebody's putting hands on a young woman is bizarre - he would, so long as it is himself.

I think Acosta behaved inappropriately.

I think Trump did, too.

But you can only see things one-sidedly, the vast bulk of the time.

As usual, Sanders is lying.  Acosta never touched her.

Trump is such a fucking snowflake.

Yeah, watching it again, Trump is a far bigger embarrassment than Acosta was close to being. His personal attacks and his "enemy of the people" and "fake news" bullshit are revolting.

But you eat it up, Kiid.

Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, said on Twitter: "This is something I've never seen since I started covering the White House in 1996. Other presidents did not fear tough questioning." 

They had less to hide. 

I have zero trust of anything that comes out of Sanders piehole.

Congress can pass gun control, private prison ban, drinking water safety, solar freedom (preventing utilities from squashing solar), and public option bills. They can pass a bill authorizing the post office to operate personal banking services.

While waiting for the corrupt immoral and incompetent Senate to pick any of these bills up, they can investigate the shit out of the trump klan, the dirty dirty GOP, NRA, KKK, GRU, Fox axis, and the petroleum industry as well as all the rapey new GOP judges.

The new American Majority can pass these bills and have the subpoenas flying by Valentines Day.

To what end, pass such bills? To be like the GOP's endless "repeal Obamacare" efforts?
I don’t think you really thought that one through.

Redd, you just plain don't think.
How’d those “ endless repeal bills end up?”

Oh, were you not paying attention to how they ended up?
I was. Obviously you haven’t been.

"Acosta acted inappropriately"

OK

I happen to think yanking a microphone back when it is being taken from you also constitutes poor and aggressive conduct toward a woman

Maybe he should have grabbed her by the pussy.  You have no problem with that.

Acosta et al should have said, ‘Fuck it!” and bolted the room. Quit being stenographers and asking questions when you know he’s gonna lie. No more of this shit. Report on what they do and not what they say.

The observation that you see things one-sidedly came from your only posting Sarah Sanders' take on things.

But fortunately, you decided to underscore my point.

Thank you sooo much!
