>>So that the WH can use it as a valid reason to exclude Acosta for his asking an inconvenient but valid question.
You call it a question rather than a statement or attempt to argue policy with POTUS? Whatever.
A thought for you: the intern says she was shaken up and intimidated by Acosta when she tried to do her job and pass the White House mike to the next reporter.
Do you believe her?
What do you think about how Kavanaugh was treated?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
