Then forget the word assault. Replace it with he put his hands on her. My post still stands. He didnt push her. His hand moved down at the same time here came in. You can see him pull it up right after contact was made. If he was intentionally putting his hands on her to push her back why wouldnt he keep pushing?

You know damn right the WH is wrong in how theyre trying to frame this. You dont have to defend them. You can still hate Acosta and think he should be removed without going out of your way to help their lie grow. But clearly youve made up your mind. Youll force yourself to see something that isnt there. Its not worth us going back and fourth for 50 more posts.

You can fucking see her standing there before she even reaches for the mic. At that point he should have handed it over. But he had no intention of ending his tirade because he has to #RESIST! The White House Press Pool will NEVER allow that. You cannot have journalists disrespecting staff in the way that Acosta obviously and willingly did. You don't give a shit though because you would rather have every single reporter in that room acting like Acosta.

Look at this joker. What a loser.

mlEsOjw

Notice how his wrist separates from her elbow because she's pulling the mic instead of him pushing down.

Notice how the mere act of refusing to give up the mic is enough to revoke this loser's press pass.

Then just say that. Its that simple then. Why defend what the WH is doing here or deflect from it. You can hold that opinion while also saying its not right how the WH is trying to frame what happened. I disagree with you but thats not even the issue at hand ITT. Its that the WH and president are lying about physical assault to justify this. Thats wrong on many levels.

I haven't seen anyone talking about assault other than you translating Sarah Sanders saying "he placed his hands on her" into "HE ASSAULTED A POOR YOUNG WOMAN", and he certainly touched her after it was clear that she was coming to take the mic from him and he was uninterested in giving it up.

We are taught as young kids not to grab stuff out of other people's hands.

He did not touch her by his own volition, she literally pulled on the mic while Jim was holding it and pulled Jim into herself. Jim's hand was literally gesturing at the President.

"Placed his hands on her" can be synonymous with assault. It's Sarah alluding to violence to justify banning someone who was trying to finish his statement to the President, who was interrupting his questions in a fit of anger because he was asking difficult questions.

And again thats fine. If you think he should be banned for that then cool. All the WH has to say was that. But they showed a video clearly emphasizing the put his hands on her part and you know why. All they had to say was he was unprofessional for not relinquishing the mic immediately. Simple. But they didnt do that. They want for another angle. The he touched her look well replay that part several times!...the contact and physicality that was magnfied here seemed more incidental than anything. why else would they do that, dude? Come on man youre not that dense..youre a smart dude.

One time a homeless man muttered angrily at me for not giving him money, something to the effect that he was going to have a seizure. Clearly he wanted to buy booze and the seizure would have been related to alcohol withdrawal.

I'm getting that same vibe from hypno here. He is trying to get his fix of time out before he has a seizure from time out withdrawal.

Oh, I'm not expecting anything from him. I'm really bored at work and making fun of Hypno's ridiculous behavior and standards is a great distraction to pass the time. If I thought there was anything worth discussing on this topic at this point I wouldn't even address him, but this topic has run its course and Hypno is always a glutton for punishment.

It was an etiquette issue since there are no rules in this case.

You do not try to yank an object from an adult's hands. You wait for the object to be handed to you. It's the fucking White House not Cracker Barrel or some greasy spoon off the turnpike.

Acosta acted defensively. It wasn't the prettiest scene but it was definitely not assault.
