Jim Acosta goes after Trump supporters: ‘A number of us received death threats…we feel endangered’
Appearing Sunday on CNN’s “Reliable Sources,” Acosta mentioned the death threats, saying other White House correspondents have also received them while covering the Trump administration. *** “And keep in mind, it’s not just what was going on inside the White House,” Acosta said. “There were Trump supporters all over the country absorbing this hostility that the president was directing at the press and then lashing out at us, as well. And in ways that made us feel endangered.” “I am not the only reporter who covered this White House who has had death threats,” he said. “We can’t be at a place in this country where political reporters, White House correspondents, need bodyguards to cover political campaign events.” *** “It is just a pervasive hostility and anti-democratic hostility towards the process that I just hope we never receive the likes of ever again,” Acosta would conclude. “It’s just so damaging and destructive for our democracy.” *** Not to be outdone, CNN’s Jeremy Diamond piled on, saying, “There’s certainly a blood sport aspect to it that the president’s supporters bought into and relished in seeing.” View Quote They can shove their victim card up their backsides, reminds me of those wannabe bullies in school, that just push and push, until they get pushed back then go run to the teacher crying about being bullied. |

They should feel endangered because when shit goes down they are right there high up on the list.

I can't decide who's Public Enemy #1, the politicians or the media.

Good? After years of abuse by Leftist politicians and their winged monkeys in the media, the tables SHOULD be turned.

I don't and will never threaten FJA or anyone else that way...but I would have loved the pleasure to see someone break his fuckin jaw on live TV. That little prick.

Sure......That's why he showed up to Rallies and other Tump events with no protection.
And nobody did anything to any of those idiots but ridicule them a little with "CNN Sucks" chants. Death threats? I doubt any credible threats have been made. |

Traitors should be scared.
I have better things to do but if some nut(s) start popping newsies, well..... Coke please and throw a shot of Captain and a wedge of lime in it. |

Dear Jim,
Try not being a piece of shit. That would solve a lot of your problems. |

|
So what I'm hearing is that Acosta isn't taking the threats seriously.
|

It was a Republic but if you say it’s a democracy and convince the majority of Americans that it’s a democracy then the fact that you are scared of mob rule means at least the primitive part of your brain is still working Jim.
