We all remember a time when CNN was trying to pass their intrepid Resistance reporter Jim Acosta off as an unbiased beacon of media objectivity. Anybody not fooling themselves at the time knew that was a total joke. Now, as we've seen other "journalists" do, Acosta left the network he was with and went on to prove that he was exactly what we thought the whole time.
When Acosta was still with CNN, he routinely referred to Trump or any other Republican expressing doubt about the results of the 2020 election (including skepticism about Joe Biden getting 81 million votes) as pushing "the big lie." Here are just a couple examples.

Flashback: one year ago today I asked Trump for evidence of widespread voter fraud. It was a big lie before “the big lie.” He still hasn’t provided any evidence. https://t.co/tKgjXkdO2S

Just for fun, here are recent clips of Acosta nodding along as his podcast guests claimed Kamala Harris actually won the 2024 election:
Here is Rosie O'Donnell telling Acosta:

- 2024 election was rigged
- Elon was involved
- Implies the Trump assassination attempts were staged
- Trump will cancel future elections

Where's the "big lie" lecture, Jim? We couldn't help but notice that he didn't demand O'Donnell provide some evidence for her claim.
Kathy Griffin said something similar with no objection from Acosta.

It's not like we needed even more proof that Acosta was just a Democrat propagandist, but there it is.
Election denier much?

There wasn’t even any controversy like there was in 2020.

And it really showed. Trump dominated.
Trump won by such a large margin, including taking every single swing state, that only the most straitjacket-ready lefties are still struggling and failing to come to grips with it.
This video should be used as a teaching tool as examples of 2 mentally ill people.

The TDS therapy sessions that Acosta hosts are truly incredible.
