CNN political analyst April Ryan believes CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s life was in danger at President Donald Trump’s Tuesday rally in Tampa, Florida.

Acosta, who was heckled with “CNN sucks!” chants before Trump appeared on stage, has said he did not feel like he was in America and expressed that he is “very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt.”

“That’s a serious moment and a serious place. And Jim Acosta’s life, in my opinion, was in jeopardy that night,” Ryan told CNN host Don Lemon on Wednesday evening. “There was a safety issue.”

Others at CNN, like media reporter Brian Stelter, have accused Trump of leading a “hate movement” against the mainstream press. And CNN’s David Gergen even said that blood will be on Trump’s hands if there is violence committed against mainstream media journalists.

Yeah, because he might of thought that there was a big mosh pit behind him and the people would catch him if he jumped.... but they wouldn’t, and move aside.

Well, somebody has been hurt. U.S. Representative Steve Scalise was shot and seriously injured during an attack on Republican members of Congress. The hostility was whipped up by Sanders/Clinton and some in the liberal media.

How many Cambodians and Vietnamese did Walter Conkrite get killed? How many Marines? Soldiers? Vietcong and North Vietnam were done after Tet. Until encouraged by Conkrite.

Uh, let's see. Crowd fully screened for weapons before being allowed into the building. Police presence everywhere. Secret Service everywhere. Acosta on a platform 8' above the crowd floor. Barrier fencing between Acosta's platform and the crowd.

Yeah, his life was in danger alright.

You know, if I was “on the left,” I’d begin to wonder if I myself might get beat up by other leftists wearing rightist clothing and MAGA hats. Few things beat a Good Hysteria whipped up by one’s own “side” as a provocation.

In a “win by any means necessary” environment, one realizes the good necessity of cracking a few eggs to make an omolete.

“Your sacrifice is all for the Greater Good,” y’ know...

One wonders if Acosta knows he’s setting himself up for martyrdom, by his own side?

We don’t need to beat anybody up.

We just need to hit the “off” button on our televisions.

He could end up as the Horst Wessel of the Left if you get my drift.

And if conservatives complained they felt threatened? A bunch of sarcastic snickers.
