You have to treat the White House with respect.
Naturally, the reactions were partisan. Fox News journalist Chris Wallace claimed that "Acosta's behavior was shameful" and that the reporter "embarrassed himself today".
Ryan responded on Twitter, "I love this country and have the most respect for the Office of the President". He said, "I can do something fantastic, and they make it look not good".
"I consider it an invasion, you and I have a difference of an opinion", Trump responded.
On Wednesday, Trump scolded Alcindor for asking a "racist question".
"She doesn't know what the hell she is doing", the president said. "It's a very bad thing you said". "You run CNN, and if you did it well, your ratings would be much better". "If you've ever seen him dealing with Sarah Huckabee Sanders, it's a disgrace".
"Mr. President, will you stop calling the press the enemy of the people?" he asked.
Alexander came to his colleague's defense. "I watch you a lot", he said. "He's a diligent reporter who busts his butt like the rest of us". "Here we go", Trump replied.
The version shared by Sanders also omits Acosta's "Pardon me, ma'am". "The First Amendment applies to Donald Trump, too", he said. He gets paid to do that ...
He spoke to the press again on Friday, and ridiculed CNN's Abby Phillips for asking a "stupid question". During the George W. Bush presidency, Trude Feldman, who worked for various news outlets, was suspended for 90 days after security cameras recorded her looking through a press aide's desk late one night.
Danny Welbeck: Arsenal say forward has 'significant' ankle injury
Henrikh Mkhitaryan was singled out by a number of supporters as one of those that deserved criticism for his display in the game. He was stretchered off the pitch, and the scenes were rather distressing for the Arsenal players, particularly the youngsters.
"They are not only unsafe, they are disturbingly un-American. A free press is vital to democracy, and we stand behind Jim Acosta and his fellow journalists everywhere". "But it could be others, also", Trump said as quoted by The Daily Caller.
Pen America also posted a tweet, in which it said: "President Trump's threat to revoke additional reporters' White House access is deeply troubling".
The White House earlier this week revoked Acosta's access credentials without any indication about if it would be reinstated.

But she should be forced to resign for that". "Some people saw that as emboldening white nationalists". I am more than proud to call you both friends.
In a video, Acosta tweeted, "I am in front of the White House".
Alcindor moved on to a different topic.
CNN journalist Abby Phillip asks President Donald Trump a question as he speaks with reporters before departing for France on the South Lawn of the White House on Friday.
Unprompted, Trump brought up April Ryan, the White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks, who doubles as a CNN analyst.
The topic has been one of the main headlines in Washington since Wednesday when Trump abruptly fired Jeff Sessions as attorney-general and named Matthew Whitaker, who has strongly criticised the Russian Federation probe, to replace him.
