He was asked numerous times to cease and chose not to. So the intern was forced to remove the mic from him. His interaction with the intern was definitely a problem; he forced a confrontation.
Again, I think he should have shut up and sat down, but she wasn't "forced" to remove the mic from him. I think in the heat of the moment she did what she thought was the best course of action and incidental contact was made between the two of them. The physical contact is a ridiculous issue to be discussing and was not problematic to the point of removing his credentials.
And Mike, the one you were quoting, did let his bias cloud the fact that she had contact with Acosta at the same time as he touched her. She did grab his hand while grabbing the mic.
