Major Garrett Throws Shade on Jim Acosta: When President Says It’s Not Your Turn, You Give up the Mic

EXCERPT:

GARRETT: "So I said, oh, and what did I do? I handed back the microphone. Now, some of my colleagues might say, what did you do that for? You had the microphone, you have a voice, you can speak. The President of the United States said 'not you.' To my way of thinking, that's enough. The President said 'I didn't call on you, I called on somebody else.' Alright, then. And I didn't get a question at the press conference. Some might say, well, you laid down, are you were too differential. I don't feel that way. I stood up, the President of the United States said 'No, I don't mean you, I mean somebody else. Another one of your colleagues.' So, I deferred, hoping he might call me again he didn't that's how I ordered myself to the institution and the person who occupies our institution is chosen by the country. He didn't. That's how I orient myself to the institution, and the person who occupies that institution is chosen by the country. And I respect the institution and the country's choice. And I'm there to, on behalf of everyone, ask questions, and most importantly, Larry, get answers."
