Acosta Intercepts Ivanka, Watch Him Get Blown Off and Left in the Dust
westernjournal.com ^ | 1/21/2020 | Jared Harris

Well-known CNN personality Jim Acosta tried to intercept Ivanka Trump this week, but was expertly boxed out as her security detail left the reporter in the dust.

The network’s chief White House correspondent confronted the first daughter Tuesday in Davos, Switzerland.

Ivanka Trump and her father, President Donald Trump, were in the European nation for the World Economic Forum.

But instead of asking about the state of the world’s finances, it seems Acosta had a different agenda.

The CNN reporter hounded the first daughter and senior White House adviser as she descended a set of stairs, asking her about her father’s impeachment troubles.

In what was likely a devastating blow to Acosta’s ego, it didn’t appear as though he was even acknowledged.

As she continued through the venue, Acosta kept trying.

While he was attempting in vain to get an answer out of Trump, a member of her security detail expertly positioned himself between the two.

Eventually, Acosta appeared to be too far behind Trump to continue his antics.

1. Well known? Sorry westernjournal scribe I probably wouldn't recognize him anywhere.

2. Confronted the first daughter? Two paragraphs down is probably a better word usage. 'Hounded'!.

3. Impeachment troubles? Westernjournal scribe is wrong on this too.

Acosta (D-CNN) is paid a lot to be a ****head. It’s his job.

Well that part he does well.

So, in addition to all the “admonishers” attending the Davos free for all, is there double or triple the supporting cast also there. Pilots, mechanics, waitstaff, barkeepers, added police presence. It must be a veritable CO2 cluster. And here I’m pretty sure that I read Switzerland is one of the top 5 eco positive countries on muvver erf. Next year, Rawanda.

Acosta is well known — for his bias and being obnoxious.

Acosta isn’t a journalist. He’s a hit man.

I view him as a potential assassin who shouldn’t be allowed within 5 miles of any elected Republican, staffer, or family member.

Not much there...True. But, still, we’re probably looking at the first female President of the United States (2024).

Probably why my speakers are always in the OFF position. If I want to hear stuff I turn them on. Same with phone and kindle. Off or lowest setting.
