They put the French to shame this time. Acosta explained himself more than adequately at the press conference. This was unnecessary and self-harming.
Yeah, Democrats never or rarely resign for this type of stuff. I think Acosta didn’t want to rat out anybody in the Bush DOJ or attack Dems to much in support of POTUS. That would limit his future GOPe career prospects. Here he can bail on POTUS, likely cash in his federal pension and live to fight another day for the GOPe.
