He has holding the mic. She tried to take it from him and he stood his ground.

Ooooooh.

How did he get the mic?

I see other reporters raising their hands. Did he happen to bring a karaoke machine with him so he could be heard over everyone else?

He clearly had the floor, Trump didn't want to answer his questions, and he tried to get his people to strongarm him to pass the mic elsewhere. She went for the mic, he held it, she sat down. "Literally in a wrestling match" is ridiculous. Acosta did nothing wrong here.

So, you would have been ok with Fox News shoving a woman while grabbing a mic when Obama was refusing to answer their questions? Yea, right.

The mic was not his. He was not called upon.

a) it's not his mic ...
b) he intentionally struck her forearm to keep at bay ...

He HAD the floor. he asked his question and the President answered it. The President moved on to the next reporter but Acosta wanted to ask another question. The President denied him that opportunity to allow other members of the press to get their chance.

The key to knowing this is how it happened is the fact that Acosta keeps saying that he wants to ask one other question, but I understand someone like you who deals in talking points wouldn't understand this.

When? She reached up under his left arm to grab the mic while his hand was up, and therefore his forearm was on hers. He actually moved his arm AWAY from her at that point, not toward her.

You haven't watched many press conferences, have you? When they have the floor, they ask the second (or third) question, regardless of whether or not it gets answered. He was doing exactly that - Trump refused to answer, which is his choice, but there is certainly no assault, or anything egregious on his end here at all. If anything, Trump's girl is a little over-zealous. She realized that and backed off.

Full (or more complete, anyway) video. Acosta was completing a question, Trump starts in on him personally, he maintains composure and asks a 2nd question, girl moves in for the mic, he gets the second question asked and hands the mic to her, Trump then goes into a non sensical tirade about how Acosta should "treat people," which is laughable. Kudos to the NBC reporter afterwards.

I don't know what happened. I see a snippet. I'd like as much information as pertinent before I decide whether or not he did something wrong. (A courtesy which was not extended to Kavanaugh by the rabid left, but I digress)

How did he get the mic?
- Did he bring it with him, and thus the subsequent sound system to which it was connected?
- Was it a mic provided by the press?
- Was it a mic provided by the administration?

Why was he holding it?
- Is it standard practice to pass the mic from journalist to journalist?
- Does a rep from the administration pass the mic?
- Does a rep from the administration normally hold the mic for the journalist? If so, back to the initial question of how he got the mic.


Before making assumptions and determining who was right and who was wrong I need more information.

The clip you linked actually answers some of my questions and implies answers to others.

How did he get the mic?
- Did he bring it with him, and thus the subsequent sound system to which it was connected?
- Was it a mic provided by the press?
- Was it a mic provided by the administration? the clip seems to imply this

Why was he holding it?
- Is it standard practice to pass the mic from journalist to journalist?
- Does a rep from the administration pass the mic? the clip shows this
- Does a rep from the administration normally hold the mic for the journalist? If so, back to the initial question of how he got the mic.



So, based on what appears to be the standard procedure, the administration rep passes the mic to the journalist recognized by the president.

In this case Acosta was recognized and given the mic.

At some point the POTUS decided to recognize someone else.

The girl was doing her job and tried to retrieve the mic.

Acosta wouldn't give up control of the mic.



If this is an accurate account then it appears Acosta was in the wrong for not relinquishing the mic and also for preventing the girl from doing her job.


Is the karate chop he laid down on her enough to swear out a warrant for simple assault? I don't know.

But, in my opinion, he continues to show he tends toward narcissism.

I still believe the women.

Jim Accosta, please provide evidence you are not a gang-raping pedophile who likes beer.

When the person leading the press conference moves on you don;t get to overrule that decision.

Best thing that can happen is for the White House press office to tell CNN they have two choice....replace Acosta with someone legitimate or turn in their credentials and rely on pool reports.
