Tim Burchett: "And that's why more people are watching the Cartoon Network, SpongeBob reruns right now. Jim, look, I left the White House during a riot. My life was threatened.

I just read that Acosta is mad because he’s getting demoted to a midnight slot. I laugh in his direction.

Isn’t Acosta moving to the midnight slot, where his viewership will go from 100 to 50.

I have no problem with it—as long as they go on North Korean TV as well.

Otherwise—forget it—enemy occupied territory.
