What times we live in.

An American journalist asks some difficult questions to trump in a press conference, an intern tries to snatch the mic off him but is unable to grab it.
Later we hear that said journalist will no longer be allowed access to the white house press events, because he "laid his hands on" the intern.
There are two videos of the event currently circulating, the original, which appears to show no significant contact between the journalist and intern, and another that surfaced on a right wing conspiracy site that has been subtly altered to make the contact look worse. The latter has been shared by the white house press secretary.

5 years ago if you wrote all of that in a fictional account of a white house press conference it would seem too unrealistic to be believable. Now it is actually happening.
