Dear Lord, you have to love the whiners of CNN.
And this is what brought the communique from the Pussy News Network:
Oh My sweet Jesus! The President was verbally mean to Jim Acosta! It was an assault! Trump needs to be impeached!
The problem for the entitled press we have is that they have never faced a President who has very politely told them to shut the fuck down and sit their asses down which is pretty much what the majority of Americans fee the Press should be treated. But US Journos think believe Trump is Hitler and when he rebukes them like that, it is like they are being thrown in the ovens at Auschwitz alive. Basically they think their cushy job in DC is the equivalent of combat journalism or trying to be an independent news gatherer in a real dictatorial regime or in a region dominated by Drug Cartels.
What struck me even more is the family background of overgrown child Jim Acosta: Cuban, Irish and Czech. I am pretty sure that in the old Soviet Union, there was a long tradition of journos who dared criticize the government or any of its officials, to end up in a certain basement of a building in Dzerzhinsky and get a free bullet to the back of their head. And Cuba has a very similar treatment of journalists since January 1st, 1959, but somehow this does not compare to the sheer pain that poor Jimmy feels when the President calls him rude. It is like being attacked with a red-hot poke by Hitler while singing polka.
In the last decade, 633 journalists have been killed doing their jobs in something Acosta would not even dare to have a wet dream about. But he is the Queen Bee and White House Attenion Whore so his suffering is worth more.
Jaimito, get a fucking grip.
If you read the NeverTrumper and Leftist coverage, you can see the goalposts moving: “He didn’t hit her!”.
No, but he refused to relinquish the microphone and pushed her away when she tried to take it (which is kinda her job).
Like Kurt Schlicter said, “Touch a waitress like that and see how fast you get tossed out of the restaurant.”.
On the gripping hand: while committing journalism is a right covered by the First Amendment, being invited into the White House to hear a presidential press conference is a privilege. Being allowed to ask questions of the President is a privilege. Acosta is an ass with an ego problem.
“Acosta is an ass with an ego problem.” Good one!
His W.H. press pass has been suspended. About damn time. Dude’s a douche.
A new video, when slowed down, shows Acosta striking an intern. That alone is justification. The Secret Service should have tackled him like a drunk and then frog walked him from the room.
