White House has revoked the hard pass for CNN’s Jim Acosta for placing his hands on a White House Intern at News Conference. @PressSec says in statement: “We will, However, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job.”

One of Acosta's colleagues, a CNN White House producer, defended his conduct. "This is a complete lie," Allie Malloy wrote on Twitter. "The woman grabbed Jim's arm repeatedly. He never once touched her. In fact at one point @Acosta tells her politely 'pardon me, mam' as she's yanking on his arm."

Jim Acosta was only trying to prove Don Lemon's point about white men being a terror threat.

Sarah Sanders tweeted a video that shows much more detail of the incident and the "inappropriate behavior".  It's pretty good.

At least a few reporters aren't sympathetic toward Jim:

Acosta just accused Trump of "attacking" April Ryan by telling her to sit down. To be clear, April Ryan was shouting out of turn while my colleague @esaagar was attempting to ask the president a question. That's not supporting your press colleagues, that's being selfish and rude.

#JimAcosta's actions at the White House today were surreal, unbelievable, DISRESPECTFUL .. and just plain WRONG! Ignoring @POTUS' request to wrap and then REFUSING to give up the mic was a LOUSY move on Acosta's part. This is NOT how reporters should behave. #TrishIntel

If you watch the video, it's obvious that both of them are stretching the truth.

The Sanders video was doctored to speed up Acosta's arm movement. It's sickening that we have that sort of manipulation by the Administration.

It is sickening that the press is the enemy of the people.
