CNN Reporter Jim Acosta wanted to ask President Donald Trump a question about the weekend protests in Charlottesville where a young lady lost her life. As you know, the media has been going after Trump for not saying what they wanted him to say. They’ve been taking to the airwaves, trying to call out his judgment for not mentioning the KKK, white supremacy, and neo-Nazis.
Acosta was in the hall when Trump was just about to leave the room. That’s when the pushy CNN reporter blurted out his question and surprisingly, the President answered it. He then asked the President another question and, once again, Trump answered it.
When Acosta tried to ask Trump if he could ask him more questions Trump replied: “I like real news, not fake news. You’re fake news.” Then Trump walk off and Acosta was like, “I know you are but what am I?”
This is just awesome. Poor little cosmopolitan Acosta.

President Trump called CNN White House Correspondent Jim Acosta “fake news” after Acosta asked about Trump’s Saturday comments on the domestic terror attack in Charlottesville at a White House event on Monday.
“Mr. President can you explain why you did not condemn those hate groups by name over the weekend?” Acosta asked.
“They’ve been condemned. They’ve been condemned,” Trump responded.
Acosta then inquired into why the president was not holding a press conference on Monday.
The president stated that he had already held a press conference, likely a reference to the remarks he made earlier in the day from the White House.
“It doesn’t bother me at all, but I like real news, not fake news,” Trump said. “You’re fake news.”
Acosta shot back, asking if the president had “spread fake news” himself.
It’s long past time to revoke CNN and Acosta’s press credentials. They aren’t even news anymore. They can’t even beat MSNBC in the ratings anymore.
Acosta seems to ignore the fact that almost 63 million people voted for Trump, and unless he wants to condemn them as white supremacists, he’s not interested in unifying the country. And I’ll never get tired of watching Trump, his press secretaries, or any member of his cabinet standing up to him the way they do. Acosta is a joke and gives journalism a bad name.
