The White House suspended the credentials of CNN’s Jim Acosta just hours after the press conference with US President Donald Trump.
Press secretary Sarah Sanders said - President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern…

President Trump called Mr. Acosta, a “rude, terrible person” at the press conference.
A staff member tried to get the microphone from Acosta and Acosta would not let her have it.
Acosta tweeted- “I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8 pm hit”

Acosta started with NOT acting like media but as an interrogator with his opening statement. ( I CHALLENGE you……) A reporter asks questions, reports the news and reports what they learned in the process. A reporter is NOT on equal footing as the president.
Plus Acosta after being told that was all and the President trying to move on to other reporters, no less than 4 times. Then Acosta shoved the White House aides body away, who was trying to collect the mic from him, so other reporters could ask questions. He still refused to yield the Mic.
Other reporters could be heard making negative comments of his extremely BAD behavior. At that time it was clear to even CNN Acosta had screwed the pooch. Then April whats her name, the Female CNN Acosta want a be. tried the same thing.
So much disrespect for our President, he should never be allowed on the White House grounds again and his loss of access should be permanently gone. Thanks for the great article Lexy and it's a shame that he is destroying what should be journalism.
What took them so long. This so called Journalist was nothing but an extension of the dirty Democratic Party. These people should be asking questions to inform the American People on what is going on in our Country. Instead the hacks are trying to take down our President.
Amazing that some people are defending Acosta’s behavior. He needs mental help.
I think when the President of the US tells you to put down the mike … You do it… You don't act like a spilled rotten BRAT
CNN is looking to be barred from the (dare I say it for fear of the pc police) White House to boost their image with the leftists in spite of their lying. Can I get a snowflake to say , “Wwwwwaaaahhhh”!
Acosta the accoster finally gets kicked out of the WH!! Finally!!!
Terrible the way they talk to our president. They play right into his hand. He dominates news. All trump all the time!
