Acosta Tossed From The Oval Office

[transporter]

“I want them to come in from everywhere… everywhere. Thank you very much everybody,” Trump responded as Acosta continued to bark questions.

Kinda funny that none of you nimrods noticed that Trump just changed his immigration policy AGAIN!

Until that sentence, Trump's immigration policy has most decidedly NOT been that he wants people to come from EVERYWHERE. He has spent the entire first year of his Presidency trying to ban Muslims from a changing list of countries. Here he states here (not once but he repeats it!) that he now WANTS people to come here from EVERYWHERE! What a buffoon.

I wonder if the Supreme Court was listening?

You mean restrict from coming in until they could be vetted?

I can imagine the outrage of this forum had Obama kicked out a Fox News reporter, or other conservative news reporter he didn't agree with.

except the part where Acosta has consistently and repeatedly been a huge douche bag



show me where in 8 yrs of Obama ANY Reporter of a right leaning political persuasion acted like Acosta does

This is where you jump the shark. Acosta wasn't booted because Trump "doesn't agree with him". It's obvious why he was booted. So obvious I'm not even going to explain it, and in fact it should embarrass you that anyone should have to explain it to you.

Outside of the fact that our President is praised for being a huge douche ("he tells it like it is"), and that line of thinking is the reasons this is supposedly okay....

Here's Daily Caller's Neil Monro doing that same thing Acosta did.


Or WaPo's David Nakamura.


Or when CBS' Major Garret asked a douche'y question Obama didn't like.

Are you quite sure you are "Libertarian?"

Heck..he never let 'em in to begin with. Barry avoided reporters like the plague.

 

[Gilligan]

LOL! You noticed what the rest of us have ....the only person that thinks Chris is Libertarian is...Chris. We've decided he does not know what that means.

 

[Chris0nllyn]

It's obvious why he was booted.

You're right.

Because Trump, the best business man in the world...used to tough negotiations....can't stand being asked a question he didn't like. Reporters asking questions out of turn is nothing new. That shouldn't have to be explained to you.

 

[Chris0nllyn]

Are you quite sure you are "Libertarian?"

Positive. If you have any questions about my stances that lead you to believe another way, feel free to ask. Or....be likee other members of the forum open to honest debate and discussion.

It's quite clear you don't klnow what it means, so I'm not surprised.

congratulations I'll give it to you ..... 3 single reporters asking Obama tough questions [ maybe being a dickish ]

Acosta has been a DICK ALL YEAR - to Trump, in the White House briefing room to the Press Secretary

 

[vraiblonde]

You're right.

BZZZT.

Try again. It may help to know some of Acosta's past behavior at these pressers.

And the White House has gone beyond words, reports CBS News senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield. Last Sept. 20, the president went on every Sunday news show - except Chris Wallace's show on FOX. And on Thursday, the Treasury Department tried to exclude FOX News from pool coverage of interviews with a key official. It backed down after strong protests from the press.

So why is the White House out to "de-legitimize" FOX? Not because it has opinions, but because its opinion voices are so hostile to Mr. Obama - and because FOX News is, as it has been for a decade, by far the most watched of the cable news networks.

It took 3 seconds to find those. Now you're moving the finish line.

Who gives two ####s if the guy is a dick. There's no law that says reporters have to be nice. If you want to be in the public spotlight, guess what, you're going to asked questions you don't like at times you don't like.

BZZZT.

Again, don't care. If this person, who is a negotiator and tells it like it is and spent his entire campaign talking out of line, can't handle someone else doing the same to him....maybe he's in the wrong line of work.

The fact that the most vocal group of people who defend Trump's ability to "tell it like it is" are complaining about a reporter doing the same is hilarious, but not surprising.

HEY, look at that. The point behind my entire post. Great job!

There is also no law that says the President cannot remove him from a press conference for being overtly disruptive. Being a true Libertarian, I would have thought you would argue that point as well.

I thought he handled it just fine. "Out!"

Acosta has a history of trying to take over press conferences, shouting silly loaded questions and refusing to shut up so other reporters can get their questions in. It's a press conference, not the Jim Acosta Show. His question was answered, but Acosta wanted to keep shouting stupid crap, so Trump booted him.

You're not very good at this.
