On Thursday, during the White House press briefing, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders had to endure another meltdown from CNN’s White House Correspondent Jim Acosta.
Jim has had a terrible week as he’s faced much criticism from people who are standing up against him and the tabloid network (CNN) that he works for. (Video Below)
On Thursday, Jim came to the press briefing grandstanding and whining while hoping for a new response. He failed miserably.
Acosta asked if Sarah agreed with President Trump’s harsh critique of the mainstream media, but Sarah fired back at him over a series of vicious attacks on her personal appearance and loyalty to her country.

After the briefing, Acosta went on air to vent his frustration because he didn’t get the answers he wanted, claiming his treatment was “un-American.” (Video Below)
Jim Acosta was speaking with Brooke Baldwin on CNN after President Trump referred to the press as the “enemies” of the American people, saying “he was getting tired” of the administration’s attacks on the mainstream media.
“Honestly Brooke, I’m tired of this …. It is not right, it is not fair, it is not just, it is un-American to come out here and call the press the enemy of the people,” said Acosta.
Shortly after, President Trump took to twitter blasting the FAKE NEWS haters. (Video Below)
The President stood up and tweeted, “They asked my daughter Ivanka whether or not the media is the enemy of the people. She correctly said no. It is the FAKE NEWS, which is a large percentage of the media, that is the enemy of the people!”

After the briefing, Jim also took to twitter to complain again.
He tweeted, “I walked out of the end of that briefing because I am totally saddened by what just happened. Sarah Sanders was repeatedly given a chance to say the press is not the enemy and she wouldn’t do it. Shameful.”

The media has made their bed. Now they sleep in it.
It’s great to see President Trump standing up for conservatives who are constantly being attacked.
