Full title: Hard-Hitting CNN 'Journalist' Jim Acosta Came to a Vile Conclusion About Trump Supporters In Minneapolis

The mainstream media is often unsure why President Donald Trump has dubbed the term "fake news" and why he continually calls them out for their shoddy reporting. CNN's Jim Acosta is one of the so-called "reporters" who has been at the forefront of Trump's battle with the press.

Last year, the White House suspended his hard press pass after he pushed an intern holding a microphone. Eventually, CNN sued to have the hard pass reinstated. They won the lawsuit, Acosta's press pass was reinstated and things went back to "normal." Throughout the entire ordeal Acosta seemed confused about why he was being denied access to the White House. In his mind, he was a journalist who was simply "doing his job" and "reporting the news."

On Friday, Acosta shared pictures and videos from his trip to Minneapolis to cover President Trump's Keep America Great Again rally. It's standard practice for journalists to share these sort of things, especially as they happen. But Acosta proved exactly why President Trump and average Americans take issue with the legacy media. In his first tweet he speculated what the 2020 election will be about.

"2020 will be 2016 all over again and then some. Bashing immigrants, stoking hatred of the press, protesters being ejected, fringe viewpoints, and police in riot gear... all on display at Trump’s rally in MN," he said on Twitter.

2020 will be 2016 all over again and then some. Bashing immigrants, stoking hatred of the press, protesters being ejected, fringe viewpoints, and police in riot gear... all on display at Trump’s rally in MN. (Q sign here - security officials asked some to conceal their Q signs)


He came to that conclusion solely based on one person's sign. A red sign. Go figure.

Apparently wanting secure borders is "bashing immigrants."

Apparently calling out the media's blatant leftist agenda masqueraded as "neutral reporting" is somehow "stoking hatred of the press."

Apparently wanting to drain the swamp is somehow a "fringe viewpoint."

And he wonders why the American people loath the mainstream media? Gee. Wonder why.

The rest of his thread features pictures and videos of a few disruptors and even police in riot gear.

You are welcome. Now that you have grown up. They were preparing for something in the future. Grandma was knitting blindfolds for the traitors. The guy in Coos Bay was stocking up on cigarettes to barter with. The young lady was preparing for what came next.At least it was my version of it. Hope that helps.

It might be time to recall the worst things you’ve said to CNN staff in the hallways, @brianstelter. Project Veritas has a reliable source who wore a hidden 🎥

I am informed that conservative provocateur James O'Keefe of Project Veritas "secretly and legally recorded hundreds of hours" from inside the corporate halls of CNN.....and he will release Part One this coming Thursday at 10 AM.

Project Veritas records and exposes liberal/leftist persons employed by companies and organizations like Planned Parenthood, among many others.

Go, Jim, Go !!! I can't wait. I told my neighbor I'm as excited about this as Bela Lugosi at a slumber party! Hoo Yah!

Okay, thanks. That these people were preparing for something big was pretty much self evident.

I though he was referencing a piece of known literature (book or a movie).

A true sign of insanity, saying the same thing year after year. Guess that’s why CNN hired him, to provide some levity to their fake news.

In that case, it would be the student instructing the teacher. In cases of doubt I always defer to your wisdom.

As Archie Campbell told Grand Pa Jones on Hee Haw, ‘If it hurts when you do that, don’t do that.”

Happy Birthday when it gets here.

You posted recently how conservatives can start their own cable TV.

IDK if she is pro-Trump but she is supposedly conservative.

LOL right you are. May be Redstone will hire Kelly & Shep Smith for anchors. May be Shep left Fox because of the offer from Redstone?

Here is some better news to cheer up:
