On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360,” CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta stated that comparing President Trump’s rally to the recent protests is “sort of an apples and oranges comparison.” And the White House is “willing to take this risk, even if experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci say this is a very bad idea.”
Acosta said, “I think that the president understands that his re-election hopes are tied to motivating this base. And so, this has become almost his top priority right now, if not his top priority. .... But Anderson, as you and I know, I mean, essentially, the president has politicized — the White House has politicized this issue of wearing masks.

(Acosta continues:) "... Anderson, I’ll tell you, I talked to another administration official this evening. You get the sense that they’re hell-bent on having these rallies no matter what. They’re looking at these demonstrations in the streets, these protests in the streets that have happened since the killing of George Floyd, and they are saying, well, if they can have their protests, they can have their demonstrations, why can’t we have these rallies in places like Tulsa? Not really understanding that it is sort of an apples and oranges comparison. But it seems, Anderson, they’re willing to take this risk, even if experts like Dr. Anthony Fauci say this is a very bad idea.”

Funny thing is that Acosta didn't mention any words from Fauci's view on BLM "protests".
Apples and Oranges, yessirree.
Watch all the riots and looting tonight, Jimbo
A bowl of apples and a bowl of oranges place the fruit pretty much in the same proximity to one another.
CNN’s Acosta: “Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah, Blabbity Blah”
CNN’s Acosta is a major reason why CNN is doing so badly
(Except for the fact they are both FRUIT)
It’s apples and oranges alright - “Becuz I agree with BLM and its blackwashing of history and Trump iz like a facsist and stuff”
Acosta lives in a dream world where he’s the coolest surfer on the beach. Fool doesn’t even know how to wax the board and still wears a bathing cap while building his castles in the sand.
Trump rallies are protests against Marxism.
BLM = A political Movement with an agenda = Apples
PRESIDENT TRUMP = A Political Movement with an agenda = Oranges
Ohhh of course I see it now!!
Acosta needs a brain transplant preferably from something more intelligent than he, like an rat!
“...Acosta needs a brain transplant...”
Acosta needs a brain...PERIOD...
There!!! Fixed it...
Yep. And looking at videos of the Trump “protest”, I don’t see any trash,
needles or crack pipes on the streets. In fact the streets look very clean.
When someone nullifies a comparison by asserting that it is an “apples and oranges” comparison, it is perfectly acceptable to ask that person: “How so?” Bottom line, his answer would become “because I like one group and I don’t like the other group” which of course is an invalid argument.
That’s right because there won’t be any rioting, vandalism, arson, or assaul happening at a Teump rally.
Great point. The streets and arena will be cleaner after the rally than they were before.

I appreciate your visual, descriptive beat down of Acosta. Thumbs up!
CNN, the Democrats and leftists in general support Democrat Governors who put Covid-19 infected people in nursing homes, which led to thousands of deaths.
Apples & oranges is right. The Rats kill people on purpose.
He’s hypoxic from his mask.
