And Huckabee Sanders has now shared a doctored video (one that accentuates Acosta's arm movements into a chop) as proof for their banning of him.
Holy ****.

From everything I have read and heard Whitaker should be recusing himself from the Russia probe. If he doesn't this should be obstruction of justice by the President and the White House who fired Sessions.

Just heard a report that a reporter from PBS has interviews on tape from a gated community in Florida where the people there were in fear of the caravan. Try and square that logically.

I thought this was just a joke when I saw Paul Joseph Watson's (the person who did the analysis for Infowars) take on this, and it looks like there's just the same regurgitating here, like a true NPC. Time to put this to bed:

The President effectively stated the questioning time with Acosta was over, and that's fair because there are many reporters there and one should not be able to monopolize the time.. It's clear the intern was trying to get the microphone once the President stated he was moving on to give it to the next person, and Acosta defended himself on that. She chose not to escalate and get out of the way, which is good on her, because this conference is supposed to be about the President's statements, not the gallery, and that last thing you need is an incident in the White House. Did Acosta assault or commit battery? Absolutely not. However, for Acosta to say that he did not "touch her" or "put his hands on her", which he stated on CNN itself, is complete hogwash, as the evidence from whatever source you wish to trust clearly shows.

This is not the first time that Acosta has rudely interrupted these press conferences. We remember this from the conference with then President-Elect Trump, during the conference with Prime Minister May, and several times during briefings with Mrs. Sanders when she wished to move to another of the journalists in the gaggle. If you happened to see any of the pre-conference happenings, you'll notice that Acosta stands up in front of most of the cameras and starts speaking loudly over the entire room for his introduction, causing a number of live feeds, such as Golden State Times, to have to cut away because of YouTube's tendencies to claim copyright on Acosta's voice. He has made these displays about him, and not the person speaking. He was also reprimanded previously by Mr. Spicer during the first aforementioned conference.

Also, it is only his hard pass that was suspended, and I'll add there were some funny memes out there about why he didn't clutch the pass from the Secret Service like he did the microphone, but I digress. He can still apply for day passes, but somehow I'm not sure the White House will be quick to offer those up, and I sincerely hope smaller journalist outlets are given an opportunity to come in and ask questions of this administration.

To be fair there isnt much to talk about with Sessions. This has been talked to death for almost a year.

Yeah, Trump's White House is very smart on the media. Get them talking about it early so no one cares when it happens.
