CNN’s Acosta: Would the W.H. Have Hauled Us Off or Taken Our Credentials If I Videotaped Briefing?

RUSH EXCERPT:
ACOSTA: "It doesn’t make sense. There was one instance today where Sean Spicer, the press secretary was asked, does the president believe in climate change? You said you would get back to us. That question was asked again today, and the White House Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, did not have an answer to the question whether or not the president believes in climate change. The president said a month ago that he was going to have a news conference in two weeks on ISIS. He said two weeks ago that he was going to have a news conference on ISIS. I think we’re just getting to the point, Anderson, where not only can we not believe the president when he makes a claim about when he’s going to talk to us, but what the White House press office is saying in these briefing rooms if they’re not willing to deal with this on the up and up. I think that is the problem right now that we’re dealing with, and I hate to say it, but these press briefings aren’t going to serve much of a purpose if we don’t go back to the old rules where we’re allowed to videotape. I could have held up my phone today, Anderson, and tried to record the Press Secretary Sean Spicer speaking to us, and play for you what would have happened to me had I done that? Would they have hauled us off? Taken our press credentials? I don’t know. That’s just the upside down world we’re living in right now where they refuse to answer these questions on camera or audio and it's just mystifying."
