CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta defended himself Wednesday amid backlash for shouting questions at President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during their historic summit this week in Singapore.

Mr. Acosta, who already has a strained relationship with the Trump White House, was ripped as “annoying” and “attention-seeking” by conservatives after he was heard repeatedly questioning the two leaders as they signed a joint agreement to broker peace on the Korean peninsula.

Brad Parscale, Mr. Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, renewed his call for Mr. Acosta’s press credentials to be revoked over the exchange.

I don’t know if Dictator Kim knows English, but, considering that he doesn’t that makes Acosta especially stupid of yelling out a question that he would have to wait to be translated for Dictator Kim.

Costa is an asshole and is just plain rude. There is little journalistic integrity left and he’s working hard on destroying that.

Yes, I’m all in favor of cancelling the credentials of any reporter who doesn’t pay proper respect to the President of the United States or his staff, especially Sara Sanders, bless her heart.

A whitehouse.gov petition was created today to revoke his press creditials. Many of us here have already signed it.

Acosta is a moron, so not surprising who he works for. It would be great if someone could find dirt on this creep. He wants to be a celebrity, let’s find something on him so he can have the attention he craves.

This buffoon would be yelling questions if he was a reporter at General MacArthur signing the Japanese surrender document aboard the USS Missouri. No class or sense of history.

Trump: ‘Our Country’s Biggest Enemy Is the Fake News’
CNS NEWS ^ | 13 JUN 18 | By Michael W. Chapman

Posted on 6/13/2018, 8:39:26 AM by DCBryan1

(CNSNews.com) — Criticizing some of the liberal media’s coverage of the U.S-North Korea summit on denuclearization, President Donald Trump said “Fake News” outlets NBC and CNN are trying to “downplay” the summit, a deal they would have praised a year ago, and added that America’s “biggest enemy is Fake News,” which is “so easily promulgated by fools!”

In a June 13 tweet, the president wrote, “So funny to watch the Fake News, especially NBC and CNN. they are fighting hard to downplay the deal with North Korea.”

“500 days ago they would have ‘begged’ for this deal — looked like war would break out [then],” he wrote.

“Our Country’s biggest enemy is the Fake News so easily promulgated by fools!” said
