Jim Acosta, after accosting an intern and screaming like a little baby, refusing to hand over his microphone after harassing the President, is now suing the president over the loss of his press credentials!

"The lawsuit is a response to the White House’s suspension of Acosta’s press pass, known as a Secret Service "hard pass,” last week. The suit alleges that Acosta and CNN’s First and Fifth Amendment rights are being violated by the ban.

The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning.

Both CNN and Acosta are plaintiffs in the lawsuit. There are six defendants: Trump, chief of staff John Kelly, press secretary Sarah Sanders, deputy chief of staff for communications Bill Shine, the director of the Secret Service, and the Secret Service officer who took Acosta’s hard pass away last Wednesday. The officer is identified as John Doe in the suit, pending his identification."

End excerpt.

What Chutzpah! He's lucky he wasn't taken into custody by the Secret Service; his behavior at that press conference suggested a threat to the President of the United States and would have warranted his detention.

I hope there is something they can charge him with over this. There has to be some real punishment for this type of behavior. We cannot continue to have journalists and politicians openly supporting violence and harassment with no repercussions.
