The White House has suspended @Acosta’s hard pass which means he needs permission/an escort every time he goes to the WH.

@Acosta
I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit

1. Oh boy! Trump is not happy about the outcome of the election. He's on a spree.

[Totally Tunsie]

2. Such petty tRump bullshit.

[manor321]

3. Disgusting!

[Botany]

4. That is a badge of honor

It would be nice to the others in the White House Press Corp walk out
in support of Mr. Acosta.

5. ...and the purge has begun.

Ok, free press, it's your move. An attack on one is an attack on all.

[Achilleaze]

6. If the National press corpse has any integrity

they will take mass action to support Acosta.

But the white house press corpse has shown damn little courage or integrity so far.

Time to step up, or step down.

7. Punishment message...

He has no presidential skills...

8. OMG!!!!! He deserves a purple heart! 💜

16. Please rethink this post.

Do you know what is required for a soldier to receive a Purple Heart?

Please. Just no.

20. It's a new world. A new kind of war.

9. This is completely infuriating.

[Blaukraut]

10. And Matthews on Hardball reporting it like it's the funniest thing ever

This is NOT funny in the least, actually, and nobody in the press will be laughing once they've been silenced.

14. Matthews may mean that it is so petty.

Never in my lifetime have I seen a President act like Trump. He is garbage.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. Disgusting and dangerous.

The president cuts off press access just because he thought a journalist was insufficiently deferential to him. I would love it if all of the WH press corps decided to stop attending Tiny's and SHS' farcical press events.

[Tipperary]

13. Here we go.

Fascism full on.

15. Poor, poor Donny. The mean man with the pen hurt the feelings of the leader of the free world.

17. The Dictator emerges....this is what putin & company does

[VOX]

18. And Repugs have the audacity to endlessly play the "I love the Constitution" card.

When they can’t even comprehend the First Amendment.

[Glimmer of Hope]

19. The day when Trump is put in his place could not come soon enough.
