CNN’s Jim Acosta, once again, has far overstepped his bounds and overreached — and embarrassed himself in the process.
On Tuesday during a press briefing at the White House in the early afternoon, as reporters shouted out questions to both Sec. of State Mike Pompeo and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in the wake of the resignation of national security adviser John Bolton, the CNN White House correspondent yelled out his question.
“Is this national security team a mess?” Acosta asked, referring to Bolton’s exit.
“Absolutely not. That’s the most ridiculous question I’ve ever heard of,” Mnuchin responded.
“The national security team, which is what you asked, consists of the national security adviser, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state, myself, the chief of staff, and many others,” Mnuchin also said.
When Acosta tried to follow up with another question, Sec. Pompeo quickly changed gears — calling on another correspondent for another question.
Acosta has long expressed a bias against President Donald Trump and members of his administration through his line of questioning and his own words about it.
Bolton, who joined the administration in April 2018, is no longer a member of the administration.

President Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning that he asked Bolton to resign from his post and that Bolton’s services “are no longer needed” by the administration.
“It’s very clear that his [Bolton’s] policies and priorities did not align with President Trump’s,” Hogan Gidley, White House deputy press secretary, said on Fox News earlier on Tuesday.
“The president did ask for John Bolton’s resignation, it was delivered today, and we’re in the process” of putting into place a new national security adviser, Gidley also told Fox News’ Harris Faulkner on “Outnumbered Overtime” in an interview.

Uh, Jim? You REALLY DON'T need to keep proving this is true, mmmmmmmmmkay?
No one ever wanted to admit what a warmonger John McCain was but he was. John McCain was in the deep pockets of George Soros since the early 2000's. Even though McCain ran and claimed to be a Republican but he was, at best, a Progressive RINO and could care less about the Republican/Conservatives. As long as his pockets were getting lined by Soros, companies and corporations to destroy America he could have cared less what happened to the American citizen! McCain should have retired and left Washington years before he did as he so he could have saved face.

There are no longer any journalists left in this world. Most of them only give their progressive, liberal/socialist/communist/democrat opinion instead of giving the true facts!! In fact, the word "facts" no longer exists in the minds of the Fake News MSM!!
Acosta is just another "on the take" reporter, with nothing except for lies to report. His parents must be very embarrassed to have spent all the money they did on college for Acosta to be the "reporter of falsehoods" that he is today!!!
They did that to me the other day. After I said something about how it seems as if PI was turning into The Amazon owned Pinko Commie Rag Washington Post, my message suddenly reappeared???? It was magical!!!
I saw it. It was great. Acosta will never learn
Cnn is a waste of air time, and Accosta continues to make himself look like a fool.
