CNN reporter confronts Donald Trump, White House suspends his press pass

The White House on Wednesday suspended the press pass of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta after he and US president Donald Trump had a heated confrontation during a news conference.

They began sparring after Acosta asked Trump about the caravan of migrants heading from Latin America to the southern US border. When Acosta tried to follow up with another question, Trump said, “That’s enough!” and a female White House aide unsuccessfully tried to grab the microphone from Acosta.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders released a statement accusing Acosta of “placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern,” calling it “absolutely unacceptable.”

Hindustan Times you got this one wrong. Jim pushed the aid as she was reaching for the mic to give it to another reporter after Jim had like five questions. Him laying hands on her was why he got suspended not because he was annoying trump. If it was that, Jim would have been gone MONTHS ago.

Ah, yes, and in the last hour, CNNs court judge came out to say that acostas pass must be restored, so he's saying acosta has to be there even though it's plain acosta doesn't know how to act. Therefore the w h has to deal with him the way anyone deals with an annoying person. Completely ignoring him would be the best solution. Is the judge going to say you have to call on him, which would mean he's telling the w h that they should be respectful to someone disrespecting them?
