WHITE HOUSE REVOKES PRESS PASS FOR CNN’S JIM ACOSTA<\/h1>\n

‘This conduct is absolutely unacceptable’<\/h3>\n

In the wake of the epic news-conference showdown between President Trump and CNN\u2019s Jim Acosta, the White House late Wednesday suspended the reporter\u2019s press credentials, effectively banning him from White House access.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just been denied entrance to the WH,\u201d Acosta said on Twitter. \u201cSecret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The action is being taken after Acosta\u2019s interaction with a White House press aide who tried to remove the microphone from his hands as he tried to ask Trump a second question during the post-election news event.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his administration,\u201d said Press Secretary Sarah Sanders. \u201cWe will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim Acosta grapples with a White House intern trying to take the microphone from him at a presidential news conference Nov. 7, 2018<\/p><\/div>\n

She continued: \u201cThis conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter\u2019s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any president in history. Contrary to CNN\u2019s assertions, there is no greater demonstration of the president\u2019s support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the president for not supporting a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters over the course of 1.5 hours including several from the reporter in question. The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it\u2019s an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this administration. As a result of today\u2019s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to Sanders\u2019 statement Wednesday, Acosta said: \u201cThis is a lie.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also pinned a tweet from October 29 to his Twitter page, apparently addressing President Trump, as he said: \u201cWe are not the enemy of the people. I am not your enemy. You are not my enemy. It is wrong to call your fellow Americans the enemy. We are all on the same team. We are all Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n

As\u00a0WND reported earlier Wednesday<\/a>, the conflict between the\u00a0establishment media and the president reached new heights with Acosta trying to \u201cchallenge\u201d and bully the president, to which Trump responded by calling the reporter \u201crude.\u201d<\/p>\n
