Jim Acosta Gets Acosta’ed at CPAC
Victory Girls ^ | 26 Feb 2021 | Kim Hirsch

Posted on 02/27/2021 11:09:23 AM PST by Rummyfan

CNN’s Jim Acosta must miss the verbal pugilism that happened whenever he confronted President Trump with a question. So on Friday he ventured into the bears’ den at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando, FL.

He got what he came for — a confrontation. But what he didn’t expect were any of those “true believers” to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Jim Acosta came not to report, but to browbeat Trump supporters....

He didn’t plan on Federalist writer David Marcus calling him out on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s scandals. Marcus is a native New Yorker who loves his city and thus is livid about the deaths in NYC nursing homes. Plus, there’s that sex scandal.

So this happened:

“Hey, Jim, I’m David Marcus from The Federalist; when are you guys going to start covering Cuomo?”

“Sorry, I’m conducting an interview.”

“When are you going to start covering Cuomo?

“We do.”

“No, I’m asking you a serious question.”

I kind of wish he’d waited a while to see whether Acosta actually would have talked to him and answered questions about the coverage. This way, Acosta gets to play the victim.

Acosta got a taste of how it feels being questioned like he was. Sorry Fredo, looks like you're going to need a bigger q-tip to swab up your brothers mess!

WHY would CPAC even issue press credentials to Acosta?

I would NOT.

Why is Acosta not covering Biden? Was he demoted?

‘WHY would CPAC even issue press credentials to Acosta?’
Maybe because the first C in CPAC no longer means that they are 100% conservative. I would say that they have gone 50% rino.

Acosta misses the limelight, energy and sheer numbers of people surrounding Donald Trump — that he misguidedly thought showed up just to see him.

He wanted just to bask one more moment in the sunlight before going back to the mausoleum that is now the White House — and all those energy-sucking vampires looking to rob humankind of every moment of joy and positivity.

Happy Transgendering!

Extremely well done. It is fine for him to get in someone’s face and outraged he gets the same treatment.

I'd be willing to bet that Accosta walked away thinking 3 things:

1) Boy, Trump supporters are insufferably rude.
2) If I had ever acted like that with Trump, they would have hated it.
3) I've been victimized. And for no reason. I'm just a journalist doing my job, keeping the public informed in my usual, unbiased way.

This proves a couple things. There needs to be a CPAC-style gathering far more than once a year. Because Acosta couldn't do shit about it, he was surrounded, he had to just take it.

If we could subject the #MSM to a continual rehash of The Emperor's Jester Has No Clothes, we could bust these #MSM #Narrative Storm Troopers permanently and finally put the stake through the heart of what remains of the undead Legacy Media.

You have to understand, no-info folks respond to the moment, but if you build up enough moments, somehow that gets pounded into their diminished long-term memory.

These same no-info folks freaking DVR MSNBC to time-shift it. But if you continually submit the #MSM to humiliation, you WILL drive these no-info people away from their agitprop news sources, because they are equally desperately fearful of being associated -- even virtually -- with sanctioned "losers".
