Assault & Battery At The White House By CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta

This misdemeanor is all over the internet, but to make sure this crime of violence goes into the annals of American history, I am posting about it on my website too. It makes me feel that I have done a little bit to help create a more civil society.

Today Jim Acosta hit a young White House staffer’s arm with a hard downward chop when she tried to move the mic to the next person as the President of the United States had directed. If Jim Acosta does this on national television, what does he do off camera? That WH staffer should sue Jim Acosta for workplace battery for her own sake and to stop him from hitting to anyone else. Battery is menacing, nonconsensual physical contact, and that is what he did to her when he hit her. Actually the police should arrest Jim Acosta for assault because he chopped down on her arm hard. It probably left a bruise on her arm and fear in her heart. I have experienced similar assaults in my life so I felt fear for her.

It is comforting to me to post this small howl of objection to add to the public outcry. The mainstream media and the internet are so financially and politically intertwined that I have no confidence that their reporting of this incident will survive with honesty. I have hopes that my blog will last through time.

White House staffer should sue Jim Acosta for battery & police should arrest him for assault when he chopped down on her arm when she was just doing her job of moving the mic to the next question.

Jim Acosta and CNN are the enemy of the people! CNN is fake news and are hostile traitors to our country.

He asks a question and then when Trump answers...he gives his opinion in disagreement. He’s such a piece of garbage. He’s not there as a journalist, but a protester. He has no right to be in the White House. Good riddance Jim...most of can’t stand your type of journalism.

I heard they were playing this song at the end of the press conference; Hit the road Jimm don't you come back no more no more no more, hit the road Jimm ,don't you come back no more ,what you say, Hit the Road Jimm ,don't you come back no more no more no more no more, hit the road Jimm, don't you come back no more, don't you come back no more.

The intern should have kneed him.

My blog post is tagged sexual assault because it is doubtful that Jim Acosta would have dared hit a man the way that he hit that young White House staffer. When she reached for the mic, he should have given it to her because that is standard protocol. Instead Jim Acosta leaned back, lifted the mic out of her reach, and then when she followed through to take the mic, he hit her.

The next reply was emailed to me several times, it is an oblique reference to horror movie assaults with needle and thread, typically to sew (sounds like sue) up the mouths of young women:

Sue up your mouth you like to talk about sue

White House revokes Acosta's credentials.*

“CNN's Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass to access the White House was suspended ‘until further notice’ Wednesday, hours after he engaged in a contentious back-and-forth with President Trump.” (And committed assault and battery on a young White House staffer.)

“"I've just been denied entrance to the WH," Acosta tweeted Wednesday night. "Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit."” (emphasis added)

I would say that Jim Acosta has had too many “hits”.
