If that’s the kind of response she gets, Sarah Sanders may want to consider doing this at every press conference.
A lengthy battle between the White House Press Secretary and CNN reporter Jim Acosta ended with the latter walking out of the room early because Sanders refused to denounce the President’s statement that the media is the “enemy of the people.”
“It would be a good thing if you were to state right here at this briefing that the press, the people who are gathered in this room right now, doing their jobs every day, asking questions of officials like the ones you brought forward earlier are not the enemy of the people,” Acosta challenged. “I think we deserve that.”
Sanders, as per usual, had no interest in playing these games, reminding Acosta that the media had attacked her personally on a number of occasions.
“It’s ironic, Jim, that not only you and the media attack the president for his rhetoric when they frequently lowered the level of conversation in this country,” she fired back.
“Repeatedly, repeatedly the media restarts personal attacks without any content other to incite anger,” Sanders added. “The media has attacked me repeatedly, said I should be harassed as a life sentence.”
Jennifer Rubin, a fake ‘conservative’ blogger with the Washington Post, and frequent guest on MSNBC stated that Sanders and her family deserved to be harassed at a restaurant, “should be made uncomfortable,” and that such punishment should be “a life sentence.”
Don’t recall Jim and his CNN colleagues denouncing Rubin.
In briefing room @Acosta asks @PressSec to declare that the press is not the enemy of the people. She replies “the media has attacked me personally,” including @CNN.

Sanders continued to obliterate Acosta and the other media members in the room.
“When I was hosted by the Correspondent’s Association you brought up a comedian to attack me,” she pushed back. “As far as I know I’m the first press secretary in the history of the United States that’s required Secret Service protection.”
Acosta dismissed her assertions as “we all get put through the meat grinder in this town,” and instead repeated his request for the denouncement of comments that the media is the enemy.
“You did not say in the course of those remarks that you just made that the press is not the enemy of the people,” he observed.
“I appreciate your passion,” Sanders replied. “I share it. I’ve addressed this question. I’ve addressed my personal feelings. I’m here to speak on behalf of the president. He’s made his statements clear.”
The battle grew so intense that Acosta apparently walked out of the room in dismay.
I walked out of the end of that briefing because I am totally saddened by what just happened. Sarah Sanders was repeatedly given a chance to say the press is not the enemy and she wouldn’t do it. Shameful.
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) August 2, 2018
Acosta went on CNN shortly thereafter to whine even further about the incident and explain why he stormed out.
“Because I’m tired of this,” he whimpered. “Honestly … I’m tired of this. It is not right. It is not fair. It is not just. It is un-American to come out here and call the press the enemy of the people.”
“Ivanka Trump knows that,” he added. “I don’t know why her father doesn’t, and I don’t know why this press secretary doesn’t.”
The real question is – Why doesn’t CNN understand exactly what has caused the American people to look at them as the enemy? Perhaps a little inner reflection is in order.
Acosta! You Sissy Mary DEMi Dog!
You were afraid the crowd that was calling you OUT might hurt you????
Why were you so quite when Liver Lips Maxine Waters called for violence against Conservatives!
Shut your Pie-Hole, Chicken Lips!
You ask Sarah a question and then interrupt her and NOT allow her to answer your question
and illustrate to the nation what an A-Hole you are!
Change your name! You make Italians ashamed!!!
Sarah Sanders Just Said Something That Forced Jim Acosta to Walk Out of the Room
Well, Jimbo, you and all your leftist wussie buddies in the media are the ‘enemy of the people’ and, further, Sarah Sanders is giving you what you deserve. Feel lucky it’s not worse! Creep!
we luv Sarah = cnn needs to be shut out = they’ve earned exclusion.
Sarah is the best press secretary I have ever listened to. That Acosta makes himself such a fool then blames her or anybody else the can think of. How can he imagine she would say anything he tried to stick in her mouth. He is dumber than I thought.
Sarah Sanders is perhaps the best press secretary the US has ever had. She is quick witted and able to avoid most of the “traps” set for her by the dishonest, corrupt media reporters. I hope she stays onboard for a long time to come.
The liberal media has become it’s own worst enemy and is blind to the fact that they are on a course of self destruction when even more citizens ignore them and recognize that they are an enemy of civilized society.
What did she say, “Hey Jim, the beans you ate sure are working now”.
Acosta? What’s that? Why should I give his words weight? This is what the fake news media doesn’t get, just because they come up with a narrative practice good grammar and a nice turn of phrase doesn’t mean they know squat because they are also ideologues on the Obama integration globalist gravy train. They are accustomed to having people believe them simply because they are Tass. Its safer for them like that especially the ones in politics they are protected by the power of the DNC socialist union branch of the anti-American dream.
ACOSTA – Miriam Webster Dictionary
ACOST – to approach and speak to (someone) often in a challenging or aggressive way He was accosted by a stranger on the street.
Acosta loves to acost those who are not in his political ballpark. He is a perfect example of RULES FOR RADICALS, written by Saul Alinsky and dedicated to the first Radical Satan. Mentor for Obama and perhaps Acosta who with no civility or desire to reason Acosts anyone who is not a socialist liberal New World Order pusher like him.
BS, Acosta walked out because he knows and understands that CNN IS an enemy of the people.
Acosta is a socialist liberal BULLY. Bullies hate to be clearly pointed out that they are bullies. This takes power away from them over those they bully.
Mueller is a different type of bully, a hide behind justice bully who is out to take down Trump no matter what ABUSING Justice and a criminal wolf in sheeps clothing. Mueller would go NOWHERE without Sessions REFUSING to do his job, allying with criminals trying to use the justice system against those who are innocent..
The press should do their fact checking after every news event, and only publish what is demonstrably true. Eventually, Trump would tire of having no press coverage at all.
North Korea will shut down their weapons program? no.
Mexico will pay for the wall? nope.
Russia respects Trump? LOL
America can win a trade war with China, Europe, Canada, and Mexico? sorry.
The EU has already given in to Trump. Do try and stay up to date.
Mexico and Canada are rethinking NAFTA requirements.
China needs the USA more than we need China
I watch CBS news for the amusement as it’s so blatantly biased it’s almost comical you can even see it in their mannerisms as they attempt to act serious. And Acosta reminds me of that late night host whats his name?
Its simple, little Jim performs like one of Tom Hanks movie rolls as “Forrest Gump” who had a unique way of describing an undesirable situation as “stupid is as stupid does.” Apparently Jim can’t understand why he has no friends among President Trump’s administration when everyone knows his every living breathing life’s desire is expressing his all consuming hatred for President Trump. lee1233
Acosta is a lying, horses ass, idiot who can’t be expected to be truthful and is a perfect example of a symptom of the real problem, which is that his employer demands that he acts as he does.
I’m just waiting to see him die on the air by choaking on his foot that he keeps putting in his mouth.

It’s a very good sign that the shameless CNN fake news reporter Jim Acosta walked out of WH press room. Acosta should be allowed in the WH to start with. Sometimes, I wonder whether all WH stuff needs firing for being too soft.
Acosta you asshat, can you not understand English? Maybe you need it repeated in Spanish, or Russian, as you seem to be more in their influence, You want illegal immigrants and continue to contend that the President colluded with Russia to win the election. You still don’t realize that Americans see Hillary as a dead weight for this country, She is the end of life.
It is ALSO “unAmerican” to call our duly elected PRESIDENT unAmerican! GOD chose him FIRST, and we didn’t even agree with it! BUT, the more we listened to him, the more we realized he was the SAME Donald J. Trump who had lived UNDER THE MICROSCOPE almost his entire life! NO, he was not Presidential, NO he was not a career politician, NO, he couldn’t control his tongue at times, but he NEVER changed his basic beliefs! He loved PEOPLE, American citizens, and our country! America needed rebuilding, American citizens needed rescuing, and our beloved nation needed the chains of complete control by nefarious, depraved, demented, and entirely self-possessed, ANTI-American forces, CUT! THEY had held us bound and gagged for decades! So we voted for him! The Lethal Left didn’t think they could ever be defeated! God begged to differ, and he’s proving he is BACK in charge of our Government, White House, and LEFT all the blasphemous blabbers howling like a pack of rabid wolves caught in a heap of steel traps! PRAISE the LORD!
Mrs.F-Posting: I would have said a great BIG “HELL YES” to Acosta. He (and all the other liberal Trump hater “news” reporters) knows d**n well he (and his hateful fellow liberal fake news reporters from all the liberal news outlets) are the enemy. We just call it as we see it. We could just call them stupid but that would be only half of the story.
Ahhhh poor little Jimmy’s feelings are hurt. Hey Jimmy: Reality Sucks sometimes doesn’t it? If people didn’t view your network as the Enemy it would have a lot more viewers, wouldn’t it? Or do you think the President saying it makes it true?! What a putz you are!
Can Acosta GET any more pathetic and WHINY? He probably can–but I hope he WON’T, because we are ALL sick of his histrionics. Freaking DRAMA QUEEN!
JoAnn; We NEED them to continue their asinine attitudes, tantrums, squalls, squeals, activism, hate, denigrating, and sobbing in self-pity! Until after November, 2018! They have no self-control and will continue fighting imaginary battles with their vicious rhetoric! But, it’s SO much fun to watch them go raving mad! I’m 78 years old and have NEVER seen election results have such a LONG lifespan! The longer it lasts, the more is being revealed about their corrupt actions! And gets even funnier to those of us who were left in the dark for so long!
The dung beetle party has made blasting President Trump, President of the United States of America, (for those too illiterate to read the headlines) a national past time. Never before, in the history of the US has a party dropped to a level where scum sucking bottom feedeers hang out. And never before has the nation been split apart like this. Trump’s fault? NO The dimocrats denial and their childishness is the answer. Who started it? Achmed bin Barrackk O Bama.
As for CNN’s Acosta, ” . . . it is difficult to argue with ‘the stupid’, since they tend to have so much more experience at being stupid . . .” (jimmie on other site)
Acosta says: “My psychiatrist told me I’m going crazy”.
So he challenged her, “If you don’t mind, I’d like a second opinion.”
Shrink says . . . “OK…You’re ugly too!”
(Rodney Dangerfield)
I don’t understand the reason why Acosta is allowed in the daily meeting; he is always disruptive. Why doesn’t Sarah just ask the Secret Service to escort him (or any other disruptive “reporter”) from the room? As the “reporters” walk into the room, a memo should be given to them, letting them know that disruptions will not be tolerated. Those “journalists” have made a mockery of the solemnity that should be displayed by anyone entering the WH: “familiarity breads contempt”. They have allowed those disruptive children to make a travesty of what should be an orderly and stately affair. Enough is enough!
If cnn (lower case intentional) were (subjunctive) even handed, why did it support the racist violence in Ferguson and the lie of “hands up don’t shoot”, why did it not make a big deal about the racist murder of an unarmed Caucasoid teenager by a Negroid officer in Salt Lake City about a month later and the ongoing high Negroid on Negroid murder rate in Detroit, why has cnn treated leftist/democrat attacks on conservatives as all right and no big deal? Why does cnn treat the U.S. Constitution’s protection of freedom of the press as binding (never mind the obligation of objectivity), but the free exercise of (Christian) religion is not, freedom of speech is selective, the 2nd amendment means nothing, article 1, section 1 and the rest of article 1 doesn’t exist, so all those who swear to support and defend the Constitution and then routinely violate the Constitution are not reported as lawbreakers, and so on. On collusion, when Obama, on an open microphone, told Putin’s representative that after his re-election, he would have more flexibility to work with Putin, that was okay and not collusion? That it was okay for Obama to interfere with elections in Israel? Why, then, should cnn be respected? Hmmm?
Poor JA.. the poor simpleton just cannot accept that WE THE PEOPLE SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT MR. DONALD J. TRUMP… and yes WE THE PEOPLE do consider the LIBERAL MSM TO BE OUR ENEMIES.. they have proven they have no interest in telling the truth to WE THE PEOPLE… they only lie and tell stories that fit their fantasy world of idiocy. SCREW THEM .. THEY THE MAIN STREAM NEWS MEDIA OR MAIN STREAM MEDIA ARE THE ENEMY OF WE THE PEOPLE.
In fact, they’ve made it ABUNDANTLY clear that THEY have nothing but contempt for US, and consider themselves FAR superior to us, as well. Why WOULDN’T we regard them as our enemies?
Don’t go away mad Jimmy, just go away!
Perhaps Acosta could use a good tune-up from a couple of 225 pound muggers for a thorough attitude adjustment.
Why is it that the media can attack the President everyday but if he says something back, he is wrong? They just want to hammer him into the ground. How dare he fight back is their stance. Where were these attacks when that Muslim traitor was destroying our country for 8 goddamn years?
A free press is supposed to be the watch dog of democracy. Now it is a tool used by the left to misled and defame the right. please give me Mr. acostas address so I can tell him the same. He and all of his cohorts are the biggest threat to this country at this time. These people are not journalist they are editorialist.
You’re giving them WAY too much credit, Grumpy Old Man! They’re not even editorialists! They are propaganda SHILLS and DNC SCRIPT READERS. The only “news” they “report” is whatever script DNC sends them to read for the day.
JoAnn; You just described another definition for “prostitution”!
I am really beginning to think there is something seriously wrong with this man, rather than being just self-centered and egotistical, I think he has a deep mental problem. I think it goes even deeper than TDS. While he is in a deep mental state, I don’t believe his IQ has reached the surface.
Could you imagine pussies like Little Jim storming the beaches at Normandy…..?
Acosta is a 2-bit loudmouthed punk who really needs to be taken out in the parking lot for a few lessons in manners. As far as “I am tired of this…..” Get out of the WH and go back to the sewer where you belong! What a wimp!
The problem jimmy boy is she is absolutely right the media is one of the enemies of the people for sure… What is really sad is you consider what you do as the news…My boy you have such a life’s lesson to learn but you probably don’t have the IQ to ever learn it.
Jim Acosta won’t accept his part in the way the press is regarded. They incite riot and abuse of White House staff, and Republicans in general, then whine when it comes back to bite them. Steve Scalise was shot because of media rhetoric. Maxine Waters is guilty of inciting not just violence, but possible injury to people. She and the press are complicit in causing violence to people because they have a different view. Look at Whoopie Goldberg and her insane behavior toward Judge Jenine Pirro! NO wonder the liberals are behaving like rabid dogs!
Maybe it would be best if the reporters (if you can call them that) submit questions and a certain number are drawn for answers. They could eliminate all these so-called reporters from asking the same questions and perhaps by writing the question out it might make some sense. Close down the press room and let these, for the most part, low lives get a job elsewhere, I’m sure they are in great demand.
That’s a great idea!
Can someone please provide a picture or video of the person (or sweetie) that wipes the nose of this wimp. This punk can attack at will, and anyone that he wishes, but can’t accept the truth that he is a sosor owned punk and everyone knows it. Thanks accosted for the moment of humor. You are one funny guy. I guess the knee pads that I sent fit…huh???
You just can’t fix STUPID !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Acosta IS the enemy of the people!
Do they remember the headline when Republicans took the House in 1994? Something like America throws a fit. The media has been at odds with the general public ever since those who want to get a journalism degree do so to “change the world.” Last I checked they were supposed to report (who, what, where, when, how) the news not try and influence or make the news.
Hooray for Ms Sanders! Now, if MORE of the people of DC had the guts to stand up for what is right and do it on a regular basis like she does.. Thank you Sarah for not backing down! Even if the media tries to spin it.. we heard it for ourselves and they can’t re-write or edit it into what they would have LIKED you to say..
Sorry Acosta, many Americans have perceived the media as the enemy of the people long before Trump ever entered the political arena…You still don’t understand that we are and have been fed up and Trump is our mouth piece not the other way around. Sure you will have you faithful followers, those far left people who are content with the lying and the spinning but you have lost all credibility with many Americans and you will probably never get it back…time to throw in the towel and hopefully these colleges can turn out some true journalists (although given the hold liberals have on colleges, I’m not holding my breath).
Over the years the press has shifted to the left.There’s no question about it—and then Donald Trump enters the scene.
Acosta no one likes you. Every one knows CNN is a Fake News Net Work >>It is rated one of the worst cable news stations on the air today..Who pays your salary ,how do you feed a family,at any rate you’re grossly over paid.
>>you don’t have to walk out of the White House Briefing Room just don’t come in.Your questions are partisan chippy doo and not even related to the News Topics of the Day.Your questions are only designed to Hurt the President Trump.You are an utter failure as a news reporter.Maybe you should try another field of en devour,like dog groomer???that might work
Democrats should all be ashamed of themselves. Every single one.
I have no sympathy or any nice words for this evil man Acosta. He deserve nothing but hell. He abused and misused the true meaning of journalism. He is not a journalist in every sense of the word. he was planted to be the “journalist terrorist” against the administration of Pres. Trump. I and millions who are wishing your downfall and a huge Karma.
ANYONE ELSE WONDER WHY
ABILIO JAMES ACOSTA
DOESN’T USE HIS “REAL NAME”
ASHAMED OF IT????????????????
MAYBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO Jim, you and the press are the ones who are wrong. Not all the reporters, just the ones that try race baiting and demeaning questions about the President and Sarah. You don’t strive for the truth, just your narrative of what you want them to be. Sarah is 100% correct. You are the one that is shameful Jim!
I like the way Sarah always b slaps that poor excuse of a man.
Keep it up Sarah. WWG1WGA.
Jim is a total moron
How does it feel Acosta? Being the brunt of immense dislike- didn’t say hate like you and your colleagues say about everyone who doesn’t agree with you or treat you with respect and admiration—that you have to earn- and you have been hell-bent on destroying it and now you whine and cry and say it’s “UNFAIR” to be treated this way…where have we all heard that before- wasn’t it from Trump after you and your network’s dragging him and his family over the rocks? I believe it was, or rather, IS.
Sarah Sanders should be in the room with no press and take questions from a teleprompter. CNN has proved they cannot be civil and other press have tried to justify their antisocial, if not criminal, behavior. END THIS NOW.
That is a great idea. It would definitely put the Kibosh on rude reporters demanding that Sara Sanders cow tow to them, after jumping in front of other reporters, when they are acknowledged . She would not have to have them removed from the briefing room in tears like little jimmy Acosta sour grapes; jimmy every one knows that cnn is a fake news net work, if I worked for them I would cry too>>>
Swamp Reporters KEEP ON KEEPING ON….
Oh, boo, hoo, hoo. Jimmy, you are such a pussy.
Amen, he needs a bay bottle.
He needs a baby bottle
