False predicate to punish a reporter. This is what the president wants. If he really thought @acosta was unfair, then why did he call on him? Because he wants the confrontation.

I was seated next to ⁦@Acosta⁩ at today’s press conference and did not witness him “placing his hands” on the young intern, as the White House alleges. He held on to the microphone as she reached for it. The ⁦@Reuters⁩ pictures below depict what happened accurately.

1. She aggressively rushed Acosta. If this were a stand your ground state

he would have the right to shoot wouldn't he??

2. It's the trump* White House - of COURSE they are lying to justify their unjustifiable actions

It's what they do. It is their nature.

3. She makes 130,000 a year. Why does WH want her to be seen as 'an intern'?

To make her SOUND more vulnerable and overpowered?

4. I saw it live online

and thought it was pretty outrageous to begin with and wondered if he was being set up. The way she kept eye contact with the cheato... I wonder what other angles were recorded and might surface, like that clip of the idiot blowing a kiss to czarina over malaria's head at the swearing in of this illegitimate regime.

5. A little help here please

So the White House Staffer/Intern causes the confrontation w/Mr. Acosta and
but it was Mr. Acosta's fault for that confrontation?
