Ever since video which
captured the contentiousness between CNN’s Jim Acosta and President Trump
during a post-midterm press conference emerged, both sides of the ideological
aisle have weighed in on the “touching/accosting” of a White House intern who
job it was to pass the microphone to journalism activists.
The Left has accused
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders of tweeting a manipulated
version of the encounter. The rage from
the Left escalated late Wednesday afternoon after his press credentials were
suspended until further notice.
The accusation that the
tweeted version was manipulated was challenged by Paul Joseph Watson who stated
unequivocally the video was not “doctored”.
He used the C-SPAN video that was readily available and “merely zoomed
in”.
Watson added, “Nice
try to distract from Acosta’s behavior, but this kind of dishonesty is why the
media has a massive trust issue. Please
correct your stories.”
Jim “Assaulta” went on
his network to say he never touched the intern in the manner portrayed by White
House officials.

CNN showed the clip but edited out the part where he clearly touched her.

Former
CBS News reporter Dan Rather chimed in saying, “News the White House pulled Jim
Acosta’s credentials is not an attack on one
journalist but all of the press. There should be complete solidarity. This is a
moment for any Republican who says they believe in the Constitution to stand up.”
Rather should have sat
this one out. He’s the so-called “journalist”
who clusterfucked a 60 Minutes segment
in 2004 in which he alleged George W. Bush had received preferential treatment
to enter the National Guard in 1968 and, as evidence, produced six documents
with the typeface and spacing that was inconsistent with any known typewriter
of the early 70’s all in an effort to tip the presidential election in favor of
Democrat John Kerry. Rather’s reputation
has been sewage ever since.
If you’ve seen the
video, you saw Acosta’s arm touch, strike, hit or incidentally come in contact
with the intern’s arm. For him to go on-air
and claim he “never” touched her is a lie.
Laying hands on a
White House intern is Bill Clinton’s job.
In order for the White
House to win this latest battle with CNN, the credentials of this cretin should
be permanently revoked, otherwise allowing him back in will make things even
worse.
Just checking — was it a “DIRECT THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY” when Obama booted a reporter for asking a question he didn’t like? pic.twitter.com/vL2TqoY6wz— Chet Cannon (@Chet_Cannon) November 8, 2018
UPDATE: See tweet below asserting the video WH Press Secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted WAS NOT doctored.
wait... so now it's not "doctored"? https://t.co/Twl0WMew30— Greg Pollowitz (@GPollowitz) November 8, 2018
