White House Pulls CNN’s Jim Acosta’s Media Credentials
from Zero Hedge:
Following the disturbing behavior in this morning’s White House press conference, when a journalist from CNN refused to hand his mic back to a White House aide…
“I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds…”
Watch Jim Acosta from CNN hit the young intern on the arm to keep the mic. Where’s the #metoo movement when you need them? pic.twitter.com/o59ncCfAO4

White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders announced that CNN’s Jim Acosta has had his media credentials pulled:
“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…
This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter’s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any President in history. “
