| Has the White House Weaponized Press Passes? |
Washington DC --
By Robert W. Armijo
"Jim
Acosta is happy that the Trump administration has chosen to comply with the court
ordered return of his press pass," said spokesmen for CNN.
However, the distressed reporter has reportedly filed yet another complaint with the White House, asking that a new press pass be issued, as his old one has allegedly been compromised.

“Funny, it [press pass] never
smelled this funky before,” said Jim Acosta, who filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration
for allegedly breaching his First Amendment Rights when his press pass was
revoked after he challenged the president’s authority by refusing to yield a press
core microphone to a White House intern and take a seat.
Jim Acosta
claims his press pass smells so bad that other reporters cannot remain in the
same room with him for too long of a period.
“I can’t
stand it myself,” Jim Acosta acknowledged, while wearing a clothespin on his nose. “However,
I have no choice. I have to wear it. Or White House security won’t let me into the
press room to ask President Trump my followup question at his next press conference: if he still thinks his anti-caravan rhetoric isn't divisive and racists?”
“Look. We [the
press] all support Jim standing up for his First Amendment Right to ask President Trump loaded questions and all that
jazz,” said a fellow colleague, who asked to remain anonymous. “But if he walks into the press room wearing
that stinky press pass, we’re filing for a restraining order, keeping him one-hundred
yards downwind of us.”
