White House reporters were told there would be no questions during a photo op between President Trump and Nursultan Nazarbayev, the president of Kazakhstan in the Oval Office today. Of course, Jim Acosta refused to honor the wishes of White House and decided to yell questions at Trump. Trump told him to get ‘out’ of the Oval Office.

ACOSTA TWEETS…A DIFFERENT ANGLE:
So it was you that he ordered out.
This is unacceptable. pic.twitter.com/C6qgx5fnot

Acosta proceeded to have a temper tantrum on twitter commenting on how he just couldn’t believe how he was treated: We’ve got news for Acosta. He has been continuously out of line for months and should have his press pass pulled.
What occurred reminded me of something I would see in a different country. Certainly not at the WH. Certainly not in the U.S. https://t.co/hV6vPRe0p2

When I tried to follow up on this in the Oval Office, Trump told me to get "out." We then went to the Roosevelt Room where WH aides obstructed us from asking questions. https://t.co/vuEIv1jvso
