Nope. He’s toast.
Word is most of the other White House reporters hate the little airtime-sucking weasel anyway, and I’m sure CNN has someone just as smarmy waiting in the wings for his or her “big chance” — at a fraction of Acosta’s salary.
He just sailed himself into the perfect storm. Buh bye.
So I just checked with some people I know...
Narrative is
1. She should have “shown respect for the Free Press” and let Acosta continue
2. Trump just violated the constitution (?) by banning Acosta
3. A court case will be filed against Trump and potentially against the intern for “assault”
Now, I doubt that they will go all the way to the last one, but the first two are already out there being bleated on social media.
Like I said, Acosta is protected.
