Jim Acosta Incident

A journalist by the name of Jim Acosta has had his White House press pass suspended indefinitely for manhandling a White House staff member at a recent Press Conference.

The point at which Acosta touches the young woman can be seen here: https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/mt/2018/11/RTS254S6/lead_720_405.jpg?mod=1541706554



Reviewing the lead up to this incident, it is clear the President had had enough of Acosta's questions, and had gone on to accept other questions from those present. Who does Acosta think he is? He doesn't get to decide when and if he surrenders the mic.

No two ways about it in my view; Acosta must apologise to the woman concerned, then apologise for his conduct to the President and lastly to all those present as well as the TV audience.
