Jim Acosta!
Hardly an upset, but wow, what an asshole. But then, you knew that, didn’t you?
Acosta was riffing on a “No Kings” Day episode of “The Contrarian” podcast hosted by fellow-Stage 5 Trump Derangement sufferer Jennifer Rubin, and attacked President Trump for having ICE enforce our immigration laws. Then he made the bizarre argument that the President is a hypocrite because two of his three wives were immigrants. They weren’t illegal immigrants, mind you, but progressive Democrats like Acosta pretend that they don’t understand the distinction.
“Where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties? Could somebody call ICE on the Trump golf course in Virginia? You’re telling me there’s nobody in there that is undocumented or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their paperwork?” he asked. “Give me a break. How many immigrants has he married? He’s got one [that would be first wife Ivana, who died in 2022] buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn’t she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that?” he asked. Rubin’s guest April Ryan, another unethical reporter, cackled along with Rubin at Acosta’s wit. “Immigrants always doing the jobs that Americans don’t want to do!” he joked.
This guy was CNN’s primary reporter on the first Trump administration. His bias was palpable, and Acosta is now revealing what kind of vicious hate-monger CNN allowed to distort the news in pursuit of his–and its— own partisan agenda.
Someone can try to amuse like-minded resistance fanatics with absurd anti-Trump bile, and one can be a tough journalist speaking “truth to power.” But a reporter who indulges in the first has no credibility trying be the latter. What are the chances that Acosta’s disqualifying contempt for Donald trump wasn’t common knowledge at CNN while he was posing as a journalist? My guess? None.
Commenting on his outburst, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “Jim Acosta is a disgraceful human being.” Why yes, Karoline, I believe you are correct.
Ethics Alarms 
Acosta is nothing but a bitter has been. He left CNN because they were going to shuffle him to a late night time slot where his visibility would be minimized because they didn’t want to continue openly fighting with Trump. Acosta also said at one point but the highlight of his career was covering Barack Obama visiting Cuba, and said that the lesson he took from that was that there is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant. Essentially he compared Trump to Castro. It’s not like the fact that the man is biased wasn’t known. It was well known. The fact that he is now reduced to poking fun at Trump like a brainwashed college student on the podcast of another has been should be indicative of how far he’s really fallen.
I’m not sure Rubin was ever prominent enough to qualify as a has-been,
Well, in 2020 they made an awfully big deal about her switching over to constant criticism of trump and then joining in the calls for Trump supporters to be barred from public life and otherwise punished. It’s kind of scary to think that these were the people we were relying on to get our news and analysis.
That photo of Acosta is accosting me with a George Clooney look.
Second. His George Clooney-like looks have always annoyed the hell out of me. I think it’s the perma-smugness both guys wear on their faces informing us they know better that drive me crazy. And the silvered temples. His hairdresser must do those.
The way these lying phony dems behave makes sense if one remembers that it’s all theatre because that’s all they have. These fakers need to stay relevant by somehow staying in the news until the right charismatic someone emerges to lead the resistance.
Being the party of the resistance won’t change however because with the help of the MSM, everything is set up (or in place) for that strategy to be enough. Policy positions for the dems are basically “we’re against anything The Orange Master is for” and it’s red meat for their angry brainwashed constituency. Friends don’t let friends vote democrat…🤠
Jasmine Crockett before she assumed a different theatrical persona:
Kyle Seraphin on X: “Did y’all ever wonder when @JasmineForUS started talking like ghetto trash? Apparently it was AFTER she showed up in Congress and was told that was marketable. It is pretty gross how fake these people are. https://t.co/wPUuymmvW8” / X
