Acosta Refers to Children of Angel Moms as ‘Allegedly Killed by Undocumented Immigrants’
BY: David Rutz
CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta referred to Angel Moms as having their children "allegedly killed by undocumented immigrants" on Friday.
Acosta reported from the White House on Friday before President Donald Trump's speech and subsequent press conference about his decision to declare a national emergency at the southern border, in order to secure funding for his long-promised wall.
Mothers of children killed by illegal immigrants brandished pictures of their children at Trump's announcement, reportedly drawing derision from one reporter in attendance.
"We saw people leaving the White House there with photos. Do we know who they are?" anchor Jim Sciutto asked.
"Jim, we believe those are some of the Angel Moms that the president has talked so much about out on the campaign trail, at rallies and so on," Acosta said. "These are parents of victims who were allegedly killed by undocumented immigrants. The president likes to point to these folks who have been through some terrible experiences as evidence a wall is needed down at the border."
"I suspect, Jim, if we're seeing some of the Angel Moms coming in, the president is going to be trying to drum up some emotional energy on this occasion here, to try to sell this wall," he added. "We have seen him do it before."
Later, Sciutto referred to the Angel Moms as "mothers who lost children, or alleged to have lost children to undocumented immigrants in this country."
At Trump's State of the Union address last week, he pledged never to abolish Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), as some Democrats have pushed for, and said the "wonderful" angel families he had gotten to know shouldn't have to suffer heartache because of illegal immigration.
"Year after year, countless Americans are murdered by criminal illegal aliens," Trump said. "I have gotten to know many wonderful angel moms and dads and families. No one should ever have to suffer the horrible heartache that they have had to endure."
Thanks robowombat.
I could care less what people like him think. They’re small and inconsequential.
I have words, but I don’t want to kicked off this forum for profanity. I am angry at these evil people!
Scuitto and Accosta were allegedly journalists and human beings at some time in the past but there is no visible evidence of that fact now.
Acosta thinks that he is something else. Somebody needs to tell the boy that the only reason he has the job at CNN is because the cowardly white folks there needed a Mexican to harass, stalk and bully the President of the United States. He’s kind of like their yard boy.
Hey, Jim, say that to them face-to-face.
I hope Acosta encounters some MS-13 members in a dark alley.
Can't recommend taking it to their homes with innocent family involved, but every business day they need to face freedom loving Americans on their way into their studios. Every day they should be confronted with their lies; every day they should meet a screaming crowd telling them to tell the truth, report the news instead of their "progressive" lies.
Every time I see Acosta I think “Now there’s a face that needs to be punched.”
Who was that other exceptionally rude guy who challenged the President’s facts, where the President “came up” with the ones he was using during his presser, then spouted or attempted to spout his own but the President shut him down, yet he continued challenging and refused to be quiet?
Two of CNN’s “Best and Brightest”, right?
More like two light bulbs on their last switch on.
If there is ever a News Media Hall of Shame, Acosta and Sciutto will be their first awardees.
I'm sure there have been several. :^)
I would pay real money to see one of these Angel Moms visit upon Acosta what happened to their children on live TV.
I really am beginning to despise the MSM.
Moderator: please remove this if it violates TOS. But Acosta is a real a**hole.
I wouldn’t worry too much about Acosted’s use of the word “alleged”, all news people are trained by their lawyers to use that word to avoid lawsuits.
But it does reinforce the belief that Acosted is a propagandist with an agenda that has nothing to do with honest factual reporting of events.
In other words, he is fake news, and he is proud of that fact.
When I was watching yesterday I was hoping one of the Angel Moms would throat punch him.
cnn is exposed for supporting murder of innocents.
lying is not all that they do.
REMOVE THEIR LICENSE TO LIE.
These people have no souls. Seriously. They’ve sold them to the devil. When they can sympathize with MS-13 gangsters, and look with scorn at Americans who’ve lost family members, it’s glaring. And they don’t care.
I concur, perfect analysis. They give up their souls and morals to further the leftist banner. Disgusting really.
Jim Acosted.
