I watched the video.
Probably in the minority here, but didn't the aide try to grab the mic from him get physical first? It's a natural reaction to swat away someones hand when they try to snatch something from you. Also not sure what I'm missing here, he just touched her arm? You didn't see Biden cry when Sessions swatted his hand away from his grand daughter did you?
I do think Acosta should have been removed from press corp already based on his lack of decorum and inability to follow rules. So it should never have come to this.
I'm not seeing assault is what I'm saying. Unless there is some other video I am missing? Did you see the video?
If a homeless person came for your phone like that would it be assault to swat their hand away.
All for bouncing Acosta, but no need to resort to histrionics and exaggeration to do it.
She tried to get mic 3 times when Trump told him he's answered enough of his questions, and moved onto someone else.
2 times with 1 hand, and the third time used her other hand to grab the mic.
In no time did she touch Jim.
Jim chopped her.
Jim only returned the mic when Trump moved away from the podium towards Jim and he freaked out and surrendered his mic

Well the President can probably afford to have its own live feed// live camera broadcasting to the internet to dispel any fake news attempts. Much like the ISS has a live feed that mysteriously always cuts out when a UFO appears - PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ME CRAP ABOUT UFOs - by definition the of course exist until explain. Plus, go view our military jets (F-18) footage. Anyways, getting back on topic, i think it is imperative that the President have his own video feed / film crew just for this kind of reason. He has already proved he is the most open and accessible President, this will put into a league of its own.

I don't think anyone is gonna fight you on the UFO thing, we had a DOD official go on Fox News a year ago to admit they exist and refusing to say anything about whether they came from the human race except that "This is outside the capability of any technology we are aware of in our nations."
Exactly...which is why Acosta won't get charged with anything. He placed his fucking hand on her wrist after she...wait...initiated contact. Sorry...I'm a cop. That was not assault. And if it is...we are in a sorry state of affairs...are you people snowflake fucking liberals?? There was no assault...woman initiated contact, a normal human response was witnessed. Sorry, no charges will result.

I agree it wasn't assault. I also agree he should remain banned, possibly fired, anyways. He is disruptive and disrespctful at every event, even in important meetings where they aren't open for questions. All this man does is intentionally stir up trouble.

You’re missing the point which makes me completely believe you when you say you are a cop. The point is that if a republican had performed the same action as acosta, whether he initiated it or not, the media would be raking that person over the coals.

He won't be charged but he doesn't own the mic, he is attending an event and failed to follow protocol when asked to give up the mic that was not his to hold. She was doing her job grabbing the microphone and instead of giving it up he assaulted her with a downward block. It wasn't crazy hard but she was certainly rattled by the physical response.
Weird though that the left is supporting Acosta. Chicagoan here, and people are calling Trump a fascist for revoking the press pass. (In my mind, he didn't arrest the guy...he's been patient with him through many other events and answered questions but Acosta was interrupting, disobeying the PRESIDENT when asked to move on, not to mention being physically defensive against someone that was doing what the PRESIDENT told them to do.)
Fucked up. I know things are going to happen soon. Just looking at the list of resignations is uplifting, but it's difficult to be here stuck in the blue ocean of Chicago. Can't believe the NPCs that have been created out here.
Public MK Ultra via Facebook/Instagram/SoMe... fucked up.
Well we can commiserate together. I'm here as well.
Its such a shame that Chicago itself and all of its shit ruins it for all the rest of us.
Near retirement and would be happy to unload my house and get out.
Have kids and a couple grandkids here so that's somewhat unlikely.
Beautiful snow this morning though. Mainly because it wasn't on the roads.
