President Trump scolded CNN’s Jim Acosta on Friday during the president's Rose Garden announcement that he is declaring a national emergency on the southern border, telling the reporter he has “an agenda” -- before angel moms in attendance confronted the chief CNN White House correspondent.
The clash came as Acosta challenged Trump over what he described as a "disconnect" concerning his description of illegal immigration.
“You are presenting information about what’s happening at the border, calling it an invasion, talking about women with duct tape over their mouths and so on, and yet there is a lot of reporting out there, a lot of crime data out there ... that shows border crossings at a near record low,” Acosta said.
Trump fired back, “That’s because of us,” as the CNN reporter attempted to talk over the president.
“Excuse me,” Trump intervened. “It’s still massive numbers of crossings.”
Acosta – who has emerged as a hero among progressives for attacking Trump and members of his administration when they’re available to the press – then said stats show “undocumented immigrants committing crime at lower levels than native-born Americans.”
Trump rebuked Acosta by asking, “You don’t really believe that stats, do you?”

An angel mom then discussed that a previously deported illegal alien murdered her son.
“President Trump is completely correct on this issue, we need to protect this country,” the angel mom told Acosta.
Before Acosta’s outburst, Trump said he is declaring a national emergency on the southern border, tapping into executive powers in a bid to divert billions toward construction of a wall even as he plans to sign a funding package that includes just $1.4 billion for border security.

I know they have to allow Acosta in, but why can’t they place him at the back of the pack, away from the microphones?
That graphic is hilarious because it fits him. :^)

Exactly. Why even CALL on him???
Yep - and Trump slapped him upside the head....
Oh gawd, Acosta is at it again.... (shaking head)
The President calls on lil jimmy just so he can bitch slap him.
President Trump doesn't have to call on him, he does it for pure pleasure {and our enjoyment}.
Remember, Acosta is incapable of telling the truth since he works for the biggest station of Fake News CNN. He went on even with the Angels Moms there, since they mean nothing to him of CNN. The MSM (Moronic News Media) are one of the enemies of our Republic, and will do anything and everything possible to disparage American Citizens and our President, while giving gratitude to the Criminal Illegal Aliens And Terrorists. The Likes of the Democrats in Congress (Both House and Senate), and the sources of their money. I.E. the Clintons, DNC, George Soros, et al.
Was hoping for me violation of this tactless goober’s space. Still chilling the champagne, holding out for a headline that would really make me want to pop the cork. “Jimmy Poopypants Craps self After Purse Beating”, “Jimmy Twat Whistle Chirps no More after Hit and Run”, “Diaper boy eaten Alive by pack of Raccoons”, “Turd Peanut Impaled by Exploding Outhouse Debris”, “Jimmy Finds Jesus, Disavows Propaganda Past”
Correct to previous post.

Let’s wrap this Freepathon up, Folks!
Little Jimmy wants all of his countrymen living in the land of the Big Pinata. Capitalism is good. Just don’t say it too loud.
.."how come we can't find some Nigerians to kick the dog snot out of Acosta?
Exactly. Why even CALL on him???
...
So Trump can slap him down.
I love it!!!
Go President Trump!!!
You can get that done for very low cost around here. He just needs to be in the wrong place at the right time. Easy peasy.
It wouldn’t matter if the crimes committed by illegals was only a fraction of those committed by citizens, the fact remains that if they weren’t here they wouldn’t be committing ANY crimes here at all. We have enough issues without adding to them.
I was wishing that Trump would ask the Angel Moms to answer Accoctya’s question.
Missed Trump’s press conference today. Can not find it to watch now, any links?
