Jim Acosta: I'm not an 'enemy of the people'

CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta has been a frequent focal point of anti-press rhetoric from the Trump administration: President Trump has called Acosta a "rude, terrible person" and "fake news."

Acosta is the first to admit that “there have been times where, yes, the president and I have tangled with one another.”

But he says that in those head-to-head instances, his primary goals have always been to report the news and “stand up for the truth.”

Jim, you're simply carrying on in a fine tradition.

FDR shocked reporters December 18, 1942 by producing a Nazi Iron Cross medal and handed it to a New York Daily News reporter and instructed him to give it to columnist John O’Donnell at his paper.

FDR said O’Donnell, reportedly an the anti-interventionist columnist, had earned it by giving aid and comfort to the enemy through his columns.

Little Jimmy was a nothing and a nobody before Trump. On his own, Little Jimmy is a very mediocre “journalist”. He would be nothing without Trump. NOTHING.

......Which is why Trump, Sarah and Kellyanne should totally ignore this insignificant little insect.

[rlmorel]

Exactly. People like him think they know what is best for everyone else, and are willing to use any influence, platform, or pulpit to advance that cause.

He and people like him are enemies to the Republic, which makes them enemies of the people.

And that includes being enemies to themselves, though they are too ignorant to understand it or see it.

[GSWarrior]

No, Jimmy, you are an enemy of reality.

[Ouderkirk]

If he has to say he’s not, then we know fully well HE IS AN ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES.

[toddausauras]

Sure you are Jim.

[shanover]

“stand up for the truth.”

LMAO,whatever Dummy. Now go home and get you f-ing shine box.

Dissembling charlatan. Sod off. (Not you, Eleutheria5. *chuckle*)

[Retvet]

He’s an out and out traitor to the USA!

[rolling_stone]

narcissistic projection ?

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Like the rest of the media Acosta’s only goal is to advance his left wing agenda.

[ThunderSleeps]

Exactly. If you have to deny being an enemy of the people, you almost certainly are an enemy.

Personally, I don't think there's any question, he and his ilk are obviously enemies.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Trump never called him the enemy of the people. He miss heard. What was said is that he is the ENEMA of the people.

[5th MEB]

Anybody who has to say “I AM NOT AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE”, is probably an ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!

[Professional]

LOL, exactly!

“Dear Diary...”

[The_Media_never_lie]

Saying “I am not the enemy of the people” is almost like “His lawyer claims he is innocent”.

[justa-hairyape]
