CNN’s Jim Acosta Banned from White House After Trump Confrontation – VIDEO

*After the nasty confrontation CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta had with Donald Trump at the Wednesday’s White House press conference, Stevie Wonder could see this one coming.

The White House has yanked Acosta’s press credentials. Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders released a series of tweets, saying: “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.”

That’s total horse crap ’cause if he did, he wouldn’t have objected to Acosta’s question and he wouldn’t have terminated his press pass. PLUS: If you watch the video above, Acosta NEVER put his hands on the female who tried to take the mic from him. Another LIE from the White House and Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

In any event, she continues, saying …

“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.”

In closing, Sanders adds …

“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.”

In response, via a statement, CNN accused Sanders of making “fraudulent accusations” and called the White House’s move to revoke Acosta’s credentials “a threat to our democracy.”

Here is what we originally reported about the incident …

*The orange a-hole in the White House showed the world why he’s the orange a-hole in the White House when he went off on a CNN reporter for simply asking questions he didn’t like. He not only said Jim Acosta was unfit for the job, but labelled him a terrible person to boot.

During a post mid-term election press conference, all Acosta did was ask Donald Trump about the his claim that there was an impending invasion by people in the refugee caravan. Obviously Trump wasn’t ready to deal with that ’cause he had no answer. At least a truthful one.

So Trump switched to a-hole mode and things got hot. Especially when Acosta pressed him. It’s typical of Trump that when he’s asked a question he can’t lie his way out of, he get’s heated and stupid.

In any event, Trump tried to shut Acosta down, ordering him to put his mic down, but the next person to ask a question was NBC’s Peter Alexander, who defended Acosta. That further pissed off the orange a-hole.

And, it didn’t end there. American Urban Radio Networks correspondent April Ryan tried to ask a question and Trump rudely shut her down.

And let’s not forget about Yamiche Alcindor from PBS NewsHour, who asked Trump about his comment during the campaign that he’s a nationalist. When she said that seemed to embolden white nationalists, Trump said she was asking racist questions.

Also, Trump was asked if he’d comply with the inevitable demand by the House to release his tax returns, and his response was essentially that it was too complicated for Congress to understand.
