Well it finally got to the point where someone had to say "enough is enough. CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta continued his childish antics. As a result, President Trump ejected him from the press briefing like a baseball umpire would.
Near the end of the press conference with theKazakhstan President Nursultan Nazarbayev is when the exchange happened. Over and over Acosta attempted to grandstand about racial issues.
"Did you say that you wanted more people to come in from Norway?" Acosta pressed.
"I want them to come in from everywhere. Everywhere," Trump fired back.
"Just Caucasian or white countries, sir?" Acosta continued. "Or do you want people from other parts of the world? Where there are people of color?"
At this point President Trump had clearly had enough. He pointed at the door sand told him, "Out!"
Of course Acosta took to Twitter to give his account of what went down. Acosta tweeted:
"As I attempted to ask questions in Roosevelt Room of Trump, WH press aides shouted in my face to drown out my questions. I have never encountered that before."

Acosta wasn't done, he also tweeted:
"What occurred reminded me of something I would see in a different country. Certainly not at the WH. Certainly not in the U.S."

Mr. Acosta, you were graciously INVITED not ENTITLED to the press session at the WH. The WH did NOT have to do this especially after banning CNN for their/your atrocious behavior @ the Daily Press Mtgs. BTW, your Ranting is making you further loose credibility & integrity. pic.twitter.com/QL5oim4aaE
