Political commentator Michael Reagan backed President Donald Trump on bouncing CNN's Jim Acosta out of the Oval Office on Wednesday, telling Newsmax TV that it was "time for Acosta to leave."
"The question was asked and answered on numerous, numerous occasions," former President Ronald Reagan's eldest son told Miranda Khan on "America Talks Live" in an interview.
"I will tell you, a lot of people — me included — in talk radio and social media, probably, would have kicked Acosta out way before that point in time.
"It's good to see the president sometimes take a stand in that way."

Acosta, CNN's chief White House correspondent, repeatedly asked Trump whether he had used a vulgar term last week to describe Haiti, El Salvador and some African countries in a meeting on immigration.
"So many people sometimes yell at the television set saying, 'Why don't you kick him out?'" Reagan told Khan.
"Well, the president does what so many other people, in fact, were thinking or are thinking at the time.
"Acosta was wrong, but he's wrong most of the time—and again, question asked, question answered.
"How many times are you going to get the same answer and ask the same silly question?" Reagan asked. "Time for Acosta to leave."
