who was the comm staffer who pulled the mic out of Acosta's hands???

Was it the new Hope Hicks, AKA Madelaine? Trump's new pants steamer?

That was outrageous, running up to Acosta and attempting to take the mic, then doing it again!

Every time their name is mentioned in public, that incident should be referenced.

the same lady I harangued about on Oct 26th and got an email first warning about? First one in my life. I guess I/we should salute rude folks ripping away our institutions from us in the name of not cussing or calling the lady a the B word. The same woman who screams at everybody to get the hell out of the room when the russian says he's done. We are FAR too reticent to accept getting screwed.

Noticed her many times. She must be Doturd's gatekeeper.

WH must figure if they put a woman in there to run interference, there'll be less chance of some counter action when she approaches, and that a man in the same position would be much more threatening. Let's just call it tRump's "kitty" solution.

I wonder if she's the same one that sheep herds the reporters out of the Oval Office when Doturd is done answering questions...the one with the shrill voice screeching "OK, everybody out. Time to get out. Let's go."

If anyone tries to stop said woman from cutting them off, the WH can self-righteously ban them for "putting their hands on a woman."

Same "look" as the rest of his barbie babes.

If it IS her:

( She) s paid $130,000 USD for the position.( as Admin. Assistant to Trump)
She is the only way to reach the president other than calling his cell phone, according to a story in the Washington Post

Jaw looks different and not the small upturned nose of today's gal.

What she was doing is her job so there won't be a mic drop. Trump made it a fight. I have no idea what interns earn other than the experience for her resume.

I don't see the point in dumping all over some intern whose job is to pass the mic from one reporter to another. It was obvious she was flustered and unsure about what to do.
