Since the federal judge’s order for the White House to restore Acosta’s press credentials, President Trump has dismissed the ruling as “no big deal.” However, the president also stated that regulations for permitted conduct will follow in forthcoming press conferences. If Acosta fails to adhere to the regulations, Trump stated that the White House will either “throw him out” or end the conference.
During the president’s back and forth with Acosta, he criticized the latter’s treatment of Sarah Sanders.
Finally, readers of The Hill weighed in with their thoughts about Sanders’ latest remarks pertaining to Jim Acosta.
“If he doesn’t follow the rules all other reporters do, then the press conference should end immediately.”
“Every time Acosta speaks, they should just end the press conference and call it a day.”
“Just let Comrade Acosta sit and go bananas, and never call on him. He obviously is a journalist in name only.”
