RUSH EXCERPT:
ACOSTA: "Well, let me be frank and honest, Charles. You know, I think that the president, I mean, we’ve seen this for a long time now. April and I dealt with it when we were at the White House. I mean, when you’re close to the target, you know, he starts to, you know, go off on reporters. He’ll call them all sorts of names and so on. But I think this is less about how he handles the press and more about how he deals with women. Imagine, you know, the boss in your office talking to a female reporter. In that way, it wouldn’t be tolerated. That boss would be fired at any company. That boss would be fired. And imagine if this were your daughter, or your sister, or your mother being spoken to in this fashion. And that’s why I, you know, I strongly believe and I there are people who disagree with me on this, that other folks in the press in the room should speak up in that moment and say, Mr. President, that is not appropriate.”
