Jim Acosta, the CNN's Chief Whitehouse Correspondent, was denied access to the White House on Wednesday. This is due to the confrontation between Acosta and President Trump just hours before at the press conference with President Trump. Acosta, who isn't a huge fan of Trump to begin with, brought up the migrants traveling from Central America toward the US southern border, and the racist ad referring to them that the Trump campaign released last week. Acosta then continued to question President Trump refusing to give up the microphone as they started to get into it with each other. At one point one of the heated exchange you can even see a young lady intern come to try and take away the mic from Acosta to which Acosta reacted with what some would describe as desrespectful as he said "Pardon me ma'am" and continued to speak while keepng it out of the interns reach. After a few more words were exchanged between the two President Trump backed away from the podium signaling that he was done as Acosta continued. President Trump then interuppted Acosta explaining how CNN should be ashamed to have a reporter like him and that he is a very rude person overall.

Who do you think was in the wrong in this situation?
I think that Acosta was in the wrong here because just because he didn't get the answer that he wanted out of President Trump doesn't mean that he can keep asking and accusing Trump.
Do you think that President Trump reacted the right way?
I thnk that President Trump reacted well because he tried to tell him multiple times to sit down and stop talking before confronting him at the end like he did.

Well done! Be sure to get in here earlier in the week so you can hit the three day requirement.
I think that Acosta is in the wrong he is making a big deal out of this because he did not get the answer he wanted from Trump. I think Trump reacted alright he might have gone a little too far but I think he was just getting annoyed and reacted how he should have.
I agree with you Robert, Trump was doing great. Who wouldn't get annoyed towards the end there like Trump did though? Acosta was being too persistent and just straight up rude.
I think Acosta was wrong. Not only against Trump, but against the woman who tried to take the mikrophone. Yes, I think he did the right thing because Acosta wasn't respectful and didn't understand what he did wrong.
I agree with you 100% Sina, he was not only wrong against Trump but against the client as well, she was just trying to do her job and he was very rude towards her and she handled it well by just not saying anything.
I think Acosta was in the wrong because he refused to give up the microphone just because he didn't get the answer he wanted from President Trump. President Trump asked Acosta multiple times to sit down nicely and he refused, so I think Trump acted accordingly.
I agree with you Maci, I think that this is the case with a lot of reporters, if they don't get the answer that they wanted, they are very persistant in asking multiple questions to get that answer.
I think Jim Acosta should have jsut sat down in this situation and handed over the mic instead of repeatedly asking questions and refusing to sit down. I think he did someone shouldnt be allowed to continually keep his turn going with the microphone and take away time form others that also have questions.
I agree with you Mason, other reporters in the room got their time taken away to speak with Trump because Acosta was selfish and upset that he didn't get the answer that he wanted.
I agree with you Brady, once again this is the case for multiple reporters, they are trying to make Trump look bad when actually he is doing a good job, he may not say the nices things a lot but he is doing well.
