Here are 11 examples of Jim Acosta being rude to reporters and President Trump. It’s a mystery why he hasn’t had his credentials revoked sooner than yesterday. He is true to his name of accosting people.
- Acosta repeatedly interrupted President Donald Trump during a press conference on January 11, 2017. Trump responded: “I’m not going to give you a question. You are fake news.”
- June 26, 2017, Acosta lost it during a press briefing because the cameras were turned off.
- December 11, 2017, Acosta repeatedly interrupted Sarah Sanders and prevented other reporters from having an opportunity to talk and ask questions.
- June 12, 2018, Acosta interrupted the historic signing ceremony with North Korea, shouting questions at President Trump.
- On June 29, 2018 Acosta screaming from the back of the room asking the President when he will stop calling the press the enemy of the people.
- July 13, 2018, Trump smacked Acosta at a press conference in the U.K., saying: “CNN is fake news. I don’t take questions from CNN. CNN is fake news! I don’t take questions from CNN. John Roberts of Fox. Let’s go to a real network.”
- July 30, 2018, Acosta shouted and yelled at the end of a press conference, an aide told him: “Move, Jim! Let’s go! Keep going Jim. Let’s go. We’re leaving. Come on Jim. Go. We’re done.”
- During the signing of the National Defense Authorization Act.
- Acosta repeatedly shouted at President Trump during the North Korean summit while no other reporters even bothered because he was so far away. He shouted at the North Korean Dictator Kim Jong Un, “Will you give up your nukes, Sir?”
- Immediately after he didn’t get a response at the North Korean summit, Acosta was caught on a hot mic saying: “Hey if they’re not going to let me in the f*cking meeting, that’s what happens… That’s the way it goes, baby.”
- At a briefing on immigration Acosta tried to grandstand the administration. Stephen Miller crushes him over his complete lack of knowledge on the subject.

The White House rightly revoked his pass after he put his hands on a female intern:
We stand by our decision to revoke this individual’s hard pass. We will not tolerate the inappropriate behavior clearly documented in this video. pic.twitter.com/T8X1Ng912y

Contrary to CNN’s assertions there is no greater demonstration of the President’s 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…
