Not in a legal court, but certainly in the court of public opinion. Just ask Kavanaugh.
Okay, this is epic

Yer claiming that Kavanaugh merely touched Ford?

@Aporia
I'm saying any unwanted contact can have you labeled a rapist by the rabid mob.

@Greyparrot
And you think this happened with Kavanaugh? You said "Just ask Kavanaugh."

Sarah''s contradiction with Trump's rhetoric would be ironic to say the least.
If anything kind of poetic. Release fake news on a purveyor of fake news and watch them melt down over it and miss the point. Acosta's acting like he didn't commandeer the mic to argue with, not really ask questions of, POTUS for minutes.
This is in a room full of reporters waiting to ask questions of their own. Then, and not for the first time in his time in the press corp, standing back up and continuing to yell questions over other reporters. Truth is Acosta has gotten alot more slack than he should have over time.
And the press corp has largely gotten to the point where it's less asking questions overall, more just making statements at him to see his reaction. 65 "questions" and only a handful were regarding the speech he just gave.
It was alot of questions like, "some have said your recent statements labeling yourself as a nationalist, is really white nationalism, what do you have to say about that?"
His response was so simple.
"What a racist question. That's really just a racist question. Why do i have my highest polling right now with African Americans? You have nationalists, people who love their country. I love this country, love it's people. You have globalists, I love the world, i want to help the world. But we have to straighten things out here first, that's whats most important, taking care of here first."
It's like the simplest shit, but encapsulates how absurd the media, and the WH press corp as well, has gotten. "Some people say" no beesh, you say it. At least have the backbone to stand behind what you think instead of hiding behind "some people say".
Check Alabama, 1927 to 1935.Link to a case where "merely touching" a woman led to a rape conviction.

CNN is now suing. I think they have a case.
I think that comes down to whether the whitehouse can provw that Mr. Acosta was barred for disruption to the proceedings. They are not supposed to be able to select reporters arbitrarily.
-->
@SkepticalOne
great idea to sue lol, maybe he gets it back, but the court can't force Trump to select him to ask question or to answer any questions he shouts out. Picking battles is very important imo, this is not how they should have done it, though time will tell. If I was Trump I'd just ignore the little prick and or subtlety punish the rest for his behavior and let the group/mob put the pressure on him. Trump is an Alpha, Acosta is a Beta trying to be an Alpha, Trump need to be an Omega.

@disgusted
maybe you don't understand the terms, a lot of horrible and good people are alphas.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
You obviously don't understand the word, just look at who you applied it to.

@disgusted
- a man tending to assume a dominant or domineering role in social or professional situations."most alpha males need to control the women in their lives"
you are google inept it seems, can't do a simple search, I'll try to dumb things down for you if I can.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
It'll be quite impressive if you can go down that far and still remain literate.

@TheDredPriateRoberts
You are obviously not referring to the sycophantic, narcissistic, insecure baby man Slump. Keep trying, but you can try without me.
