‘OUT!’ Trump orders CNN star Jim Acosta to leave Oval Office after reporter’s newest outburst

President Trump kicked CNN star Jim Acosta out of the Oval Office after the reporter badgered him with questions.

“Did you say that you want more people to come in from Norway? Did you say that you wanted more people from Norway? Is that true Mr. President?” Acosta frantically shouted.

“I want them to come in from everywhere… everywhere. Thank you very much everybody,” Trump responded as Acosta continued to bark questions.

“Just Caucasian or white countries, sir? Or do you want people to come in from other parts of the world… people of color,” Acosta shouted.

Trump then pointed directly at Acosta and simply said, “Out!”

When did President Obama kick Fox news out of a room? When did President Obama talk about revoking Fox News broadcasting license? The answer is never and you know it. You have a very skewed view of that relationship, which was non-stop partisan attacks made by Fox on the President and the President occasionally joking about their attacks.

hahaha..your attempt at spin is amusing.  when Fox News ask questions it's attacking, but when CNN does it's their duty.  You are so funny, funny, funny.

straight from the horses ass:

After months of taking incoming fire from the prime-time stars of Fox News, the Obama White House is firing back, charging that FOX News is different from all other news.
"FOX News often operates almost as either the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican party," said Anita Dunn, White House communications director.
"If media is operating basically as a talk radio format, then that's one thing, and if it's operating as a news outlet, then that's another," Mr. Obama said.
And the White House has gone beyond words, reports CBS News senior political correspondent Jeff Greenfield. Last Sept. 20, the president went on every Sunday news show - except Chris Wallace's show on FOX. And on Thursday, the Treasury Department tried to exclude FOX News from pool coverage of interviews with a key official. It backed down after strong protests from the press.

Trump and his administration hate to be held accountable by the press and act like they are being persecuted when they are forced to address their previous statements and actions.  Trump apparently believes that he can create his own reality by lying.

He cannot deny that he called foreign country shitholes because even Fox News reported his statement. Now he is trying to spin that statement and it isn't going well.

President Trump lamented “s---hole countries” during immigration negotiations on Thursday with lawmakers in the Oval Office, Fox News has confirmed.

“Why are we having all these people from s---hole countries come here?” the president said, in comments  first  reported by The Washington Post.

The president was referring to people from Haiti, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras and African countries in the temporary protected status program, a source in the meeting told Fox News.

Are you also claiming that Jeff Flake(R.) lied?

"That's when he used these vile and vulgar comments, calling the nations they come from 'shitholes,'" Durbin said. "The exact word used by the president not just once, but repeatedly. That was the nature of this conversation."

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, who did not attend the meeting but said he was briefed on it by people who were there, also expressed disgust at Trump's remarks.

Fox News previously reported that Trump said it and defended his remark.

After The Washington Post on Thursday afternoon first reported Trump’s remarks at a White House meeting with lawmakers, “The Five” co-host Jesse Watters shrugged off the slur as the way ordinary Americans talk about “Haiti people.”

“If it’s true, this is how the forgotten men and women in America talk at the bar,” Watters said. “This is how Trump relates to people. If you’re at a bar, and you’re from Wisconsin, and you’re thinking, ‘They’re bringing in a bunch of Haiti people, or El Salvadorians, or people from Niger.’ This is how some people talk.”

One thing the stupid liberal Trump haters have problems understanding is that here in the U.S., you do not have to prove your innocence, but people like you who are throwing shit and see if it will stick, need to prove the guilt of a person you are making a charge against...  Welcome to the U.S., you just get here?  Or maybe you live in England or something, and don't understand how the American judicial system works?

Republican Sen. Jeff Flake, who did not attend the meeting

Since he was not there, then who give a fuck what he has to say, he's the biggest Trump hater in congress behind Maxine Waters.

“The Five” co-host Jesse Watters shrugged off the slur as the way ordinary Americans talk about “Haiti people.”

Ok, that is how normal people refer to places like Haiti, or Somalia, that is true, but it is still not proof of what Trump may or may not have said, god you have weak arguments today, lol!

That's not what I saw. I saw the host of a show refuse to give a whiny little white nationalists three minutes of unchallenged propaganda. When Jake invited him on the show it's with the understanding that the host asks questions and then the guest acts like a human and answers them instead of trying to take over the interview to go on a one-sided partisan tirade. If Steven Miller wanted that, he should go start his own show, I'm sure he'd have enough white supremacists and Nazis to get a few viewers to watch it, the rest of us will watch real news, not the Trump propaganda network.

All legitimate reporting and questions should be banned from the Trump White House.  If Americans need to know anything concerning the president or his positions on policy, Americans would be best suited to hear only the statements provided by the White House.

MAGA can only happen under the most favorable conditions.

Acosta and every reporter that dares to question this president should have all of their assets seized, citizenship revoked and sent to an offshore US owned island until they come to their senses.  The Omarosa, "You will bow and kneel."  Freedom hangs in the balance.

"I asked Hillary if she stole Haitian relief funds"

"Every penny of the more than $30m raised was deployed on the ground, with no overhead taken by the Clinton Foundation." said a spokeswoman for the charity.

The bulk of it went to UN agencies, international aid groups, private contractors and donor countries' own civilian and military agencies.

Jake Johnston, an analyst with the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a nonpartisan group that has studied the quake reconstruction, told the BBC that the problem was their use of outside contractors and not paying funds directly to Haitians.

"They relied too much on outside actors," Mr Johnston says, "and supplanted the role of the Haitian government and domestic producers."

So more right wings lies about Clinton, not that I'm surprised, they love telling lies about HRC.

Jim Acosta is a dick, but he's also a bad journalist. The purpose of his job and his access is to inform the American people. Instead, he does and says whatever he can to disparage the president and to get himself as much camera time as possible.

Adults understand that Jim Acosta is not asking the president a question to investigate possible racism. Rather, he was accusing the president of racism even in spite of evidence to the contrary. Asking where he wanted immigrants to come from is a legitimate question.  But after receiving the answer of "everywhere," Acosta, like a bully, took a cheap shot at the president. He knew the president couldn't, or probably, wouldn't respond in kind, and if he did, the aftermath would go worse for the president than for Acosta. Acosta is a bully and a dick.

Trump, who is constantly disparaged by CNN, showed far more class than Acosta. The really sad thing is that CNN, apparently, is not in the least embarrassed by Acosta's adolescent behavior.
