April Ryan: Acosta's Life "Was In Jeopardy" At Trump Rally ("Where's our Secret Service detail?")
Real Clear Politics ^ | August 3, 2018 | Ian Schwartz

White House correspondent for National Urban Radio Networks April Ryan said the life of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta was "in jeopardy" at the Trump MAGA rally in Tampa earlier this week. Ryan lamented that while his life was in danger it is White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders that gets a secret service detail for being "run out" of a restaurant.

"That's a serious moment and a serious place," Ryan fretted Wednesday on CNN Tonight. "And Jim Acosta's life, in my opinion, was in jeopardy that night. There was a safety issue. And you know she gets run out of a Hen House a couple weeks ago, and gets secret service detail."

Ryan, blaming the victim, also said that Sarah Huckabee Sanders' taxpayer-funded security is for "something she stokes."

CNN host Don Lemon said "we," speaking on behalf of journalists, "don't have a secret service detail."(continued)

The camera area is elevated and barricaded and there is security around the camera area at every event. What a snowflake dramaqueen.

This sums up the situation:

Clearly Acosta was in grave danger from the likes of this irate grandmother:

Acosta, grow up, you weak wimp.

Acosta, you aren’t a zillionth of the man President Trump is, so how about getting out of the media, if you can’t behave like a professional journalist.

Yes - his childish ego was so bruised by being mocked that he was in danger of committing suicide...

The American people pay for the Secret Service, and since the media has mostly shown itself to be the “enemy of the people”, then don’t expect us to foot the bill for your protection.

You reap what you sow.

If he was in “jeopardy” than his CNN bosses should reassign him somewhere else.

I hope these lying liars are fearful. Lying is one of GODs Commandments. Knowingly lying might get him a trip to hell. 😳

If that crowd wanted to do Acosta harm he would be a greasy spot on the floor. CNN still sucks

Another liberal looking for a gubmint handout. The fact that CNN is a billion dollar business and can employ their own security is never a consideration.

Then what protected him? His charm? Fear of his powerful physique? Respect for his profession?

He may have feared for his life, but that's only because he's a coward, not because the attendees were threatening him. If they'd wanted to harm him, he would have been harmed. Who would have stopped them?
