Sunny Hostin Says WH Aide Committed Battery,Not Acosta

[C_Clayton_Jones]

4:23 EST. TMI. Or I'm just drunk.

The right’s unwarranted contempt for a free press knows no rest.

 

[Camp]

Acosta should now get a top correspondence job covering the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.where he can poke and irritate baby boy Trump as much as possible.

 

[Lesh]

Gotta love how they declare CNN to be “ fake news”

To prove it, they pull out a doctored video from InfoWars

You can’t make this shit up

That's exactly what the did. Made it up.

How was the video "doctored" to show something misleading.

They sped up Acosta’s arm movement to turn him brushing her arm to make it look like he was aggressively hitting her
Unbelievable the White House could try to pull crap like that

Expert: Acosta video distributed by White House was doctored

 

[Lesh]

She is a thug

Did she ever hear of the words please and thank-you

May I please have the microphone Mr Acosta ?
I’m sorry, I’m not done with it
You can have it as soon as the President answers my question

Acosta tried to rape her.

He wasn't asking a question. His last statement was "but they were hundreds of miles away." That is not a question. It's an argument.

He asked why Trump called it an invasion
Trump gave an incoherent response

The thug intern invaded his personal space

You do not just grab a microphone from a highly respected member of the press

You do not just grab a microphone from a highly respected member of the press

Is he so 'highly respected' he can ignore the president when said president says his time is up?

That is why we have a free press
Meekly walking away when an elective representative tells you to does not get questions answered

Trump is a bully who tries to control the press. The Press should not stand for it

i have been a part of the "press" for much of my life in some form or another. i'm tired of people using freedom of press as an excuse to be an asshole.

Breitbart? Fox?

Did ABC doctor theirs too?

Wrong

Her job is to politely ask....May I please have the mike?
She can not physically take it from him

They sped up Acosta’s arm movement to turn him brushing her arm to make it look like he was aggressively hitting her
Unbelievable the White House could try to pull crap like that

ya think CNBC got this video from Inforwars?

trump acosta - Bing video

(42 sec mark)

Not the same video

I posted 2 videos showing 2 different angles on the same incident.

is that hard for you to comprehend?

Both show her inappropriately physically confronting a reporter at Trumps insistence
She is invading his space

Trump is at fault

His...You are not a nice person
Was laughable

and you prove, once again, how totally partisan you are.

She reached out to him twice, to get him to give her the mic, before she reached with the other hand to take it.

But, his ego refused to give it up.

But, you missed that, didn't you?

Acosta is not the first reporter to aggressively question a president or to refuse to accept an evasive answer....that is their job

Trump is the first President I have ever seen demand that a microphone be taken from a reporter. Previous presidents dealt with it without physical confrontation

Trump created the situation

Once again, armed guards could have jumped Acosta and escorted him from the room for criminal trespass.

I was wondering, if she hadn't finally got the mic, if that burly guy behind Trump would have gotten involved….

JIm would really have had something to whine about then

Assume it was "doctored." It is so indistinguishable, how could the "doctored" video make one bit of fucking difference? It looks the same.

This is just an excuse to take attention away from Acosta's childish behavior and grandstanding.

That was his intent so he could make an even bigger scene. Trump was smart to send to a woman te get the mic because now Acosta looks like a wife-beating piece of shit.

That's what she said. She gave an example. She said is she was holding a cup, and you snatched it from her (touching just the cup), then you've committed a battery against her - because the cup is an "extension" of her. So when the White House aide touched the microphone, Sunny Hostin, on The View, claims that was a battery against Jim Acosta.

She claims her source for this is Justicia, which provides free case law, codes, regulations and legal information for lawyers, and anyone.

So by Sunny Hostin's logic then, it you touch something that someone else is touching, you have then committed a battery against that person ? I can't even begin to explain how absurd all this sounds. Any ideas, opinions, conjecture ?

Well, she definitely reached into his personal space to take something away from him. He was not ever reaching into her personal space. He never tried to take anything away from her.....and all the while, trump pointed with his tiny fingers.

 

[bodecea]

If someone could commit battery just be touching something that someone else is touching (a microphone, a coffee cup), then by that logic, if you sit on a couch where someone else is sitting, you have committed a battery on that person.

If someone is sitting on top of a large boulder, and you come along and rest your foot against it to tie your shoelace, you've committed a battery ?

I love how some posters here claim they "saw" Costa assault her with his right hand.......you know, the one he had the mic in.....
