Only replies you need after Sarah Sanders said this about Trump’s press conference meltdown
Here’s Donald Trump’s spokesperson Sarah Sanders giving her take on the Donald Trump press conference meltdown which has led to CNN correspondent Jim Acosta being barred from the White House.
President Trump believes in a free press and expects and welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration. We will, however, never tolerate a reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job as a White House intern…

This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It is also completely disrespectful to the reporter’s colleagues not to allow them an opportunity to ask a question. President Trump has given the press more access than any President in history.

Contrary to CNN’s assertions there is no greater demonstration of the President’s support for a free press than the event he held today. Only they would attack the President for not supporting a free press in the midst of him taking 68 questions from 35 different reporters…

…over the course of 1.5 hours including several from the reporter in question. The fact that CNN is proud of the way their employee behaved is not only disgusting, it‘s an example of their outrageous disregard for everyone, including young women, who work in this Administration

And here are the only replies you need to all of that.
1.
This is a complete lie. 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. https://t.co/Mfh3Ol5Q46

Did he "move on her like a bitch", did he "try and fuck her", did he "just start kissing", did he "grab her by the pussy"?
Your hypocrisy and falsifications are sickening. https://t.co/AAnAA2YH5e— Richard Littler (@richard_littler) November 8, 2018

The video is clear, this is untrue. What sort of mindset do you have to have to blatantly lie when there is categoric evidence that you are doing so? https://t.co/mvf6xiybhG

I was seated next to @Acosta at today’s press conference and did not witness him “placing his hands” on the young intern, as the White House alleges. He held on to the microphone as she reached for it. The @Reuters pictures below depict what happened accurately. pic.twitter.com/nO68Hf4eQM

You work for a man who has literally admitted on tape to grabbing women’s genitals without permission. https://t.co/mN4ygKUwLz

This flat-out lie is being told on behalf of a man who 22 women have accused of sexual misconduct or assault.
