(After bombing attempts at his newsroom.)

Reporters criticizing Acosta for fact-checking and asking follow-up questions - aggressively, as he should - on matters of public interest are disgracing their profession.

* dispatch an aide to physically silence a reporter.
* insult and incite against reporters by name.
White House press pool: Show a little solidarity and backbone!
