CNN news "reporter" Jim Acosta had his White House press pass pulled on Wednesday after allegedly accosting a White House intern just trying to do her job.

The White House has suspended (rightly) Jim Acosta's press credentials for his petulant, arrogant, childish & offensive behavior & laying hands on a female WH intern just trying to do her job.

Good for them.

Acosta is a danger to the profession.

This doesn't describe what happened properly at all. It was her job to move the mic to the next person and he wouldn't surrender it. https://t.co/e5K5g6KNUy

We now have more evidence of Jim Acosta assaulting a woman than Brett Kavanaugh! pic.twitter.com/3Ju46Mi2J6

I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit

The US Secret Service just asked for my credential to enter the WH. As I told the officer, I don’t blame him. I know he’s just doing his job. (Sorry this video is not rightside up) pic.twitter.com/juQeuj3B9R

Here's the full epic press conference:

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders put out a statement Wednesday night on Twitter:

President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern...
— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) November 8, 2018

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...
— Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) November 8, 2018

As a result of today’s incident, the White House is suspending the hard pass of the reporter involved until further notice.

Using the media's "Michelle Fields" standard, Acosta should be charged with battery.

Perhaps we can get ole Ben Shapiro on the case!

UPDATE:

It's hilarious seeing Ben Shapiro defend Jim Acosta after he quit Breitbart and denounced Trump when Michelle Fields cried wolf about being touched on the arm by Corey Lewandowski after she tried to breach the secret service protective bubble. https://t.co/sAUVOiVlJu
