What I saw at Trump's South Carolina rally (From Jim Acosta)
CNN ^ | 6/26/2018 | Jim Acosta

Posted on 06/26/2018 11:43:43 AM PDT by LiveFreeOrDie2001

West Columbia, South Carolina (CNN)It was fitting that President Donald Trump chose his rally in South Carolina Monday night to thank film director David Lynch for his recently announced support. Lynch, who is best known for such cinematic trips into the surreal as "Blue Velvet" and "Wild at Heart," could not have directed the scene any better.

I felt like I was in one of his movies.

Approximately three hours before Trump took the stage in West Columbia, an elderly woman walked right up to me and ordered me to leave the venue. Her language would likely make her grandkids blush. "Get the f*** out of here," she told me. "Out of here. Out. Out. Out. Out."

As she screamed at me, she was waving a campaign sign for South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster, who would later share the stage with Trump to receive his endorsement for another four years in office. The hundreds of people in the crowd roared with approval. I tried to shake her hand but she refused. "No," she said. "Out. Out. Out."

"Ma'am I have every right to be here," I reminded her. "Out. Out. Out," she continued. "You are scum. Get out of here."

During my live shot on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" at 5 p.m., the crowd picked up where she left off. "Go home Jim," the crowd chanted. "Go home Jim!"

Yes, the left loves to play the victim, while at the same time lumping the crowd in the same category as a fowl-mouthed “elderly woman.” It’s unfortunate that the woman used the language she did, but she is not the spokesperson for all of us who are fed up with Acosta’s aggressive rudeness to the President of the United States and to his administration and to his campaign manager and political advisor(s).

So, not surprising, Mr. Acosta uses this to play the innocent victim, while smearing McMaster and hundreds of people as those who “roared with approval”—approval of what? Supporting McMaster?
No, he twists it to make it tie in with his personal confrontation, which the crowd knew nothing about. What a liar.

Playing the Moral Equivalency Card.

Acosta needed a story about a screaming Trumper to offset the true accounts of the foaming-at-the-mouth libtards attacking and screaming
at Pam Bondi, the Sarah Huckabee Sanders party, Kirstjen Nielsen and others.

At first, I though he was referring to Robert Di Niro.

Thanks. Knowing it was Acosta complaining, I had my doubts.

I am so sick of Fox’s quisling attempts to call for civility on BOTH sides....and trying to equate the hate of the left, with civil, grassroots opposition.

So he’s afraid of an old lady? Why would you write a story confirming that you are a b****?

Poke the tiger with a stick—and then don’t start crying when the tiger roars...

Exactly. The left is going to reap what they are sewing and from their viewpoint, it isn't going to be pretty!

Jim, buddy, we’re angry with you. When I can’t even have a civil discussion on politics with my Democrat friends because you in the media have them amped up that I’m a white supremacist Nazi for even questioning the media narrative, then we have a problem. I haven’t changed, Jim, they have, and it’s largely your fault. I’m with Granny here - you’re scum. Get out.

Gee Jimmy maybe if you tried being a JOURNALIST instead of a whinny bitchy little DNC propaganda whore, people would treat you like an adult rather then a snot faced bratty little kid.

Fake news. Southern ladies, no matter how badly provoked, do not speak that way. You're a liar Jim.
