James Acosta, you are the weakest link

Trump to CNN’s Jim Acosta: "You should let me run the country. You run CNN."

"That's enough. Put down the mic. CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude terrible person." pic.twitter.com/xpRU9oakpf

Click on the little blue birdie to open the thread. It's good.

James, don't let the gold-plated screen door hit you on the way out.

Sarah Huckabee released the following statement:

“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.” 

“Contrary to CNN’s assertions there is no greater demonstration of the President’s support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not supporting a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters over the course of 1.5 hours including several from the reporter in question. The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it‘s an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration.” 

“As a result of today’s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.” 

So we’re all gonna just pretend that Jim Acosta didn’t just karate chop a female staffer’s arm...
