CNN Reporter Booed After Asking Trump About Apology For Capitol Riot
Huff Post ^ | 6/30/2021 | David Moye

Posted on 07/01/2021 12:41:17 AM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

CNN’s Jim Acosta asked Donald Trump whether he would apologize for his involvement in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol on Wednesday, but only ended up getting booed by the former president’s followers.

Trump was in Weslaco, Texas, with Gov. Greg Abbott (R), to presumably discuss border issues (but really just to foment more falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election being stolen) when Acosta asked the question.

Since the House had just voted to form a select committee to investigate the attack, Acosta’s question was relevant.

But that didn’t mean Trump would bother to answer it.

Instead, he smirked at Acosta while giving a thumbs-up as his supporters booed Acosta for asking the question.

Possibly, but note the snarky tone: "Trump was in Weslaco, Texas, with Gov. Greg Abbott (R), to presumably discuss border issues (but really just to foment more falsehoods about the 2020 presidential election being stolen)..."

Apologize for what? Jan 6th was a mostly peaceful protest. The FBI instigated protestors allowed into the capitol was hardly a group of BLM rioters and looters.

Release the videos! Free the Jan 6th 500!

But the Feds somehow remain completely unable to actually identify any of the real instigators of the Jan. 6th vandalism

And they refuse to release the video footage

oh yeah, nothing suspicious here at all!!

This doesn’t earn any points for the Huff. They support the commies question and attempt to skewer Trump with smart ass comments throughout

So, CNN decided to focus on everything except what was actually happening at the moment. Basically sums up the US media today. No wonder so many Americans are ignorant of what is really going on in the world.

They changed the narrative from it was Trumps followers who ransacked the capitol...

To there is no question, it was Trumps people.

Say it in the lying positive and people will bieve it.

Such a lying anti America, ungrateful, selfish, bunch of people who don’t belong in a free world.

I would have “smirked,” and told Acosta to kiss my fine Irish butt . . .
