AUDIO: TRUMP GETS IN SHOUTING MATCH WITH CNN REPORTER
During his press conference Wednesday, Donald Trump took the opportunity to express his rage at CNN reporter Jim Acosta. Acosta is CNN’s senior White House correspondent. CNN has been very hard on Trump, and the president-elect doesn’t like it. During the call for questions, Acosta kept shouting, “Since you’re attacking us, can you give us a question?” Trump fires back, “Not you, your organization is terrible,” then implores Acosta “Don’t be rude” and adding “You are fake news.”
* Acosta replied: “I know you are, but what am I?”
* These SNL skits write themselves, don’t they?
* He knows the woman who slipped the debate questions to Hillary left CNN, right?
* “Your organization is terrible. You are fake news. And I don’t like the color of your logo.”
* How fake is CNN’s news, on a scale of one to The Onion?
* Why sweat it? CNN doesn’t have enough viewers to qualify as a major news outlet anyway.
* Don’t worry. Trump isn’t the kind of guy who holds a grudge for long.
* He’ll be over this in two or three decades easily.
* There’s the new slogan: “CNN – The Most Trusted Name in Fake News.”
* I didn’t think this was the biggest story from the press conference. I thought the President-elect of the United States saying the word “crap” in the middle of a paragraph was a watershed moment.
* This could be the first President who needs a seven-second delay.
