Attendees at a rally for President Donald Trump swarmed behind CNN reporter Jim Acosta during his live shot on Tuesday, yelling 'liar,' 'tell the truth,' and 'CNN sucks' as the crowd egged them on.

Trump has not yet arrived at the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall where supporters are filling the building and the media are awaiting his arrival.

A crowd of about 50 came up to the press area when they saw Acosta on the risers for his live shot to wave signs supporting Trump and yell 'CNN sucks' and 'Trump, Trump, Trump.'

Some had written 'CNN sucks' with markers on 'Make America Great Again' signs that they waved to the cameras.

Rows of metal barriers separate the press from the crowd so they could not reach the reporter.

Acosta calmly completed his shot and then turned to talk to the crowd when he was done.

Later in the evening, when he was doing another shot, the entire auditorium screamed 'CNN sucks, CNN sucks, CNN sucks' - interrupting the Florida state officials who were speaking ahead of Trump's arrival....

And, THAT is precisely what needs to happen, each and every time the opportunity presents itself.
We simply MUST give back to the left exactly what they are handing out.

They are NOT our friends.

Some will see this as giving Acosta and CNN a stage. Others will see it as fighting back. I’m hoping for the latter, otherwise we end up with a complacent voter base that doesn’t turn out this November (and October, given early voting).

I feel Acosta deserves zero respect but media will turn it into something ugly against rally attendees.

That's part of the problem. If reporters were subjected to the same violence that they goad against President Trump supporters, this Pravda sh*t that they are dishing out would come to a grinding halt tomorrow.

If Acosta wasn’t such a tool he wouldn’t be getting this treatment.

I hope this happens every time. I hope it happens even after President Trumps terms. I hope they get hell about being fake until they go bankrupt.

What gets me is their screaming for impeachment. Do they really want Mike Pence in that office?
