Crybaby Jim Acosta from CNN is blaming President Trump for kicking him out of a press conference that was already over.
Instead of packing his gear and hitting the trail when the President gave the cue that the press conference was over, Acosta was determined to hang around and ask questions intended to made President Trump look like a racist.
President Trump didn’t fall for the bait, and in a manner much more respectful than Acosta deserved, pointed to him and said one word – “out.”
So, poor butthurt Acosta is blaming President Trump for excessively harsh treatment that never occurred. Following is the video of the event and part of the ensuing twitterstorm inspired by Acosta’s whiny tweets in response to the incident….
As I attempted to ask questions in Roosevelt Room of Trump, WH press aides shouted in my face to drown out my questions. I have never encountered that before.

What occurred reminded me of something I would see in a different country. Certainly not at the WH. Certainly not in the U.S. https://t.co/hV6vPRe0p2

What occurred is you didn't follow instructions. When the President says a press conference is over, it's over! You insisted on badgering President Trump with questions intended to make him look like a racist. Trump is a much nicer guy than me. I would have banned you from the WH

They told everyone there would be no questions and to leave. You proceeded to shout questions and remained in the room. Amazing how these things happen…

The first words in your bio are "Pro Free Speech", but you're attacking a member of the free press for expressing his right.
You should eat a handful of Tide pods. It'll probably make you smarter.

I'm defending freedom of the press. A government employee preventing a member of the press from asking questions of the President or his press secretary is literally a violation of the first amendment. Whether you like or hate Acosta, any attack on 1A is terrible.

It is not a violation of the First Amendment! Acosta is in the WH by invitation. He can be uninvited (banned) just as easily. Reporting from the WH is a privilege, not a right. Acosta should be banned from the WH. If his replacement pulls the same shit, then ban CNN altogether.

Suppose Acosta wanted to do a rap routine at high decibel during a press conference. According to you, that is his First Amendment right. You should think before tweeting. It could save you a great deal of public embarrassment.
