Acosta's hard-pass revoked

Accosta is an anti-Trump activist with a microphone. It's a press pass, not a protester pass.

Accosta asked a legitimate question over Trumps made up invasion. He roared about an invasion that is women and children walking slowly from a thousand miles away. Now Trumps rhetoric is fading and the troops he is sending down, is dwindlng. Trump knows showbusiness. He uses emotions like fear very well. It works on the right. You rightys got played by Trumps invasion and deflected by Trump attack on reporters. You guys are such suckers.

Wrong; the media need to stop being a petulant ninnies when they're challenged.

Did you feel this way about Obama when he was challenged or heckeled?

"Trump said"...anything that follows this is politically correct nonsense. If you don't like the word "invasion" call it something else. You guys deal in euphemism (undocumented immigrants?) but go insane when someone is a little more blunt.

Call it a made up Trumpian lie. No insanity, just disgust. He suckers you guys so easily. Do you know what an invasion is? This is not it. Not blunt, just wrong.

Trump needs some ex-Marine bouncer type to grab the mic and beat down these pansies when they don't want to let go. It would fit Trump's personality perfect. Maybe have 3 or 4 that would jack-up these Reporters if they ask the wrong question? That would be cool.

the president controls press briefings. acosta is a beligerent jackass.
and he wasn't asking questions. he was lecturing the president on what "invasion" means.

Trump is the rudest and crudest prez we have ever had. He is combative and condescending toward all, not just the press. The King of America sets the tenor for the pressers.If rightys were slightly honest they would understand that. When has another president treated people so rudely? The Prez sets the tone for the nation and he has. It being rude, combative and aggressive toward those you have power over is fine.

Yeh right, Johnson used to take great delight in talking to journalists and WH staff, including women, whilst having a crap!

President Johnson did not mess around. He was constantly on the telephone, making dozens of calls every day, and was known for using more than one phone at a time. Apparently he wanted to get some serious talking done, because nowhere was off limits for conversation. Rather than put a conversation on hold, he would have reporters and aides follow him into the bathroom where the dialogue was supposed to continue. Needless to say this often inspired discomfort.

Johnson is reported to have had conversations while exposing his genitals, urinating in the sink, and sitting on the toilet, but as far as the observers could tell, it never caused him any embarrassment. Some presume that his actions stemmed from a desire to show his power and to put others in an awkward position so that he could better control the conversation. Possibly he simply didn’t want to stop talking.

But surely the President wouldn’t behave this way in front of women or influential people . . . right? Wrong. Presidential historian and former White House aide Doris Kearns Goodwin remembers not only regularly accompanying him to the restroom, but also his criticism of his National Security Advisor’s response when asked to accompany him in a similar manner. Apparently extremely uncomfortable with the situation, McGeorge Bundy stood in the farthest corner of the bathroom with his back toward Johnson. The president, dissatisfied with the speaking arrangements, said, “Come closer, come closer.” Bundy complied, and Johnson later remarked, “I thought he was going to sit on my lap! Hasn’t that guy ever been in the Army?”

Whatever his reasons, it was something that appears to be entirely unique to LBJ. There are no records of any other American president doing such a thing. It seems bizarre, but hey, if you were the leader of the most powerful nation in the world.

Trumps poor behavior is no excuse for the behavior of Acosta. None. He should never be allowed back in to the WH press room. One thing Trump was right about... CNN should be embarrassed by the buffoon Acosta. I guess the #metoo group don't care if a male liberal press member displays his misogynistic behavior.

Reporters challenge him all the time. The little Acosta drama queen's hard pass was revoked, that's all. He'll be let out of his time-out at some point. Don't worry.

Yes they do. That's why trump calls so many of them purveyors of fake news. He can't stand being challenged.
