In the President Donald Trump press conference - Jim acosta chopped a woman's arm and refuse to give up his microphone, but he denies doing this? We all know he works for the democrats and they cover up their own...but so many witnessed him touching her and why are we not seeing an outrage from the left? They push so hard on women's rights, but refuse to hold this male reporter accountable
lookn2share: LeeCharming: "GUILTY"...It is as plain as day, even the blind seen it!!
Why did he deny it? Should the woman speak out about it and tell her story of the oppressive patriarchal misogynist, who prevent her from doing her job and putting his grubby hands on her?
Chop.. ?... I thought he shoved her away aggressively. Acosta is brain dead and probably would have tried the same thing if it was chuck norris or rosie Grier, or hoss cartwright or mongo ... heck yes he/she is guilty....
Put it this way Lee. In the US, if you did what he did to your wife during an argument, you would be arrested for domestic violence.
Should someone be arrested for doing what he did. Absolutely not. But it does remind me of some video at some type of town hall meeting, where there were a couple of women who disliked each other at the meeting, and when one of them finished speaking at the podium was walking to her seat, and as she walked past another women who she disliked, she took the papers she had in her and patted her on the back of the head, and then the women she patted cried out and fell out of her seat on to the floor. It was obvious she was faking. Never the less the paper patter was prosecuted, sued and and had to pay the other woman some money for her faked injuries. Just another fine example of the stupidity that ties up our court system.

Bearwoman: I saw the woman attempt to take the microphone away from Jim ACosta but didn't really see him touch her.
Thats becasuse the Whirte house doctored the video to both make out that Accosta hit the womans elbow AND that Accosta stat down immediatly when Trump moved away from the Mic to try and make Accosta look like he was scared of mighty Trump. The basically sped up the moment that Accosta was struggling to hold onto the mic to make out that he hit her elbow rather than just move his hand down in surprise
People who first saw the footage knew that Acosta was in the right, but all the right wingers want to see is the doctored video.
The Verge had a look and heres what they had to say. The whole point of this is to divide people and makke them doubt the evidence of their eyes.
Many outlets reported that the videos had been doctored, and how, including The Washington Post and Fast Company. Something was certainly different, but with all the speculation, it was difficult to understand exactly what made them different. So I got in touch with a friend of mine, video producer Jamison Hermann, to get a better grip on it.
At first glance, he says that “they sped up the clip to emphasize the motion.” The video speeds up when Acosta’s hand makes contact with the intern’s arm. “You can see the hand raised in the background moves more quickly, her face turns more quickly, and the guy on the left drops his mic down to waist level more quickly,” he explains. Overlaying the two videos in the same frame, he says, is the best way to demonstrate exactly how it differs: the press secretary’s video clearly speeds up at the moment Acosta’s hand touches the intern’s arm.

“This is not just frame blending, which would happen if you transcoded from different frame rates,” Hermann says. “It’s a sloppily-done speed change on the footage itself.”
The Verge’s design director William Joel agrees. “I can’t say for a certainty that Infowars sped up or slowed down their footage, but it is suspect that when the two clips are overlaid, the only time we see a discrepancy is during the moment in question,” he says. “If this was truly a result of ghosting or some frame rate difference from varying source materials, you would expect to see the same ghosting over the entire clip, not just during one specific moment.”
While the video the government shared does, indeed, appear to be doctored, given this administration’s track record with lying without the use of visual aids, it didn’t really need to be. The real problem here is how Sanders and the president boldly lied to the public — and everyone in the room last night — to bar a reporter they didn’t like from questioning them directly. It was raw power exercised in the service of expanding their control.
The video Sanders shared was a lie, and had Infowars and Sanders made the same allegations against Acosta using the exact same clip C-SPAN and NBC did, their supporters would likely still have believed the government’s claims. President Trump has proved to be virtually unable to give a speech without getting in at least a few falsehoods about his enemies or about his achievements, but what’s stunning in this incident is how far Sanders is willing to stretch a lie on the president’s behalf. The technical details of the video, whether it was doctored or not, were a pretext for Trump’s continued attacks on the press.

I watched the press conference and he did touch her not doubt about it
LeeCharming: I watched the press conference and he did touch her not doubt about it
Well ya, he touched her elbow with his little finger, after she had grabbed for the Microphone three times and Accosta was struggling to hold onto the mic. She touched him first. The "assault" would not have bruised a sparrow. It was not a Karate chop.
Plus, other reporters stood up and supported Accosta.
*sigh* you are going to make me dig up the footage of that Republican candidate bodyslamming a reporter that Trump approved of, and that Guy on Trumps staff who shoved a female reporter out of the way during the campaign arent you? Oh whu cares, its not like you would admit your double standards anyway.

Is it just me that see's that almost everything little_t post is just an attempt to sow discord?
And isn't that one of the things the Chinese and a few other countries pay people to do?

Just some food for thought.
Yep the evil Chinese mocked up the whole incednet with faced footage of her reaching for the Mixrophone twoce before.
This Twitter post has the FULL incident. The LIBERAL MEDIA, seems to only wanto to focus on the part right as she put her left hadn on the Mic becasue CSPAN was fucused on the Presidents faced as she waled up and reached for the Mic twice. This twittter post has the FULL incident, starting just before she actually walked up to him. Its 48 seconds long, and all fuched on the 2 of them,

Actually relooking at the twitter video, I wasnt entirely accurate. Trump clearly signaled to her, she got up and reached over Acostas hand with her right hand, looked at Trump, reached over Accosta's arm again to the Mic and toched his elbow with her lower arm, looked at Trump again, paused for a moment, then reached under Acostas arm to grab hold of the Mic. Accosta at that point looked at her and said "Excuse me maam" and she sat down, and Trump and Accosta continued talking.

Once again, the full video is at this twitter link.
Any one defending Acosta is a maggot . Assault charges should be brought against Acosta , and may yet be , probably why the cur has not apologized as he would not want to admit he did anything wrong .

Wonder if verbal assault can be categorised in the same way? Then so many members will have to think twice before posting So many two-faced hypocrites on CS these days it's like a Republican convention.

One thing Riz ,Acosta's feet would not be touching the ground if he had tried that crap in China , or his earlier display not long after Trump was elected . And I don't mean that as some slight against the Chinese . Another thing the west should adopt from China , the way they help muslims get over themselves .
