Even by Jim Acosta standards, the former CNN correspondent’s tirade on The Contrarian podcast Monday was pretty terrible. Following the weekend’s No Kings protests, it should come as no surprise that Acosta had a lot of smoke to blow on the immigration issues in contention. Chatting with hosts Jen Rubin and April Ryan, Acosta was full of praise for the “peaceful, nonviolent protests” against President Trump’s “regime.”

CNN flunkie joins with Washington Post flunkie (Jen Rubin) to ask stupid questions. Nobody hates Hispanics and we all love good Mexican Food too. Like Avila's El Ranchito in Southern Cal. Good stuff.

Acosta really needs a beating...i only wish i would see him walking down the road by chance one day...

[TheThirdRuffian]

Acosta is so stupid he can’t even come up with a proper “gotcha” question.

[blackdog]

Jim, when do you expect to not be so stupid?

Later, when asked by Ryan what one question he would ask Trump and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt if given the chance, Acosta answered: “Why do you hate the Hispanic people of our country?”

I find that offensive and racist. That question implies that everyone who is here illegally is Hispanic, which is NOT the case.

[quantim]

It has appeared for many years that Acosta has a lower IQ than Kamala Harris providing that it is even possible.

[vespa300]

Yeah, I don’t know who I would enjoy watching more get a good beatdown. Guys like Acosta or never trumpers like Kristol. I mean the list is endless. Keith Olbermann, Jimmy Kimmel, Robert DeNiro, ......etc. Punks needing a good beatdown.

[BradyLS]

It’s the unfounded premise of the question that’s insulting.

[hal ogen]

As the comedian George Wallace would often say...Some people just need their ass kicked.

[PGalt]

Yeah, endless.

[paulcissa]

Trump should publicly ask Crying Jimmy Acosta when he stopped beating his wife.

[albie]

Can’t we figure out a way to make him an illegal alien and ship him out?

[Flavious_Maximus]

A majority of Hispanics (here legally) approve of Trump removing the illegal aliens.

The idiot, imbecile, retarded Acosta knows this fact but wishes to ignore it.

[Pete Dovgan]

Is Jim Acosta hispanic?
I don’t like him either.

[desertsolitaire]

I thought he was actually of Cuban ancestry.

[motor_racer]

Trump’s reply should be” “Why do you ask stupid questions that showcase your bias and stupidity?”

[Bob434]

Pres Trump would take him on in an iq duel, but pres Trump doesn’t fight unarmed opponents

[Mouton]

A beat down of deniro would not go far even with his shoe lifts.

Chatting with hosts Jen Rubin and April Ryan

That Jen Rubin "Contrarian" podcast is still being broadcast? Amazing. I watched a two minute clip of it and hopelessly confused senior citizen Jen was having a horrible time figuring out the technology. I assumed she would never be able to master the basics of internet broadcasting, especially since she will never have any monetization to pay for a staff. I assumed Jen would resort to renaming her Facebook page "Contrarian" and post rants on it in between pictures of her grandkids.
