CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta was on with Anderson Cooper Wednesday night, and, shocking no one, decided to show a clip of himself rather of the actual news event unfolding before him.
Chuck Ross of The Daily Caller posted video of the moment to Twitter; we’d advise viewer discretion, as some of the images may be upsetting to Acosta’s fans.

Did you see the way that staffer tried to shoo Acosta and other reporters out of the room once the event was over? She even patted his arm at one point and possibly tugged on his sleeve.
That 5’4 female junior staffer was basically Hitler.

Given his perceived level of victimhood I'm surprised Acosta wasn't someone's guest during the SOTU. https://t.co/96PayhsGDO

"…then this young lady tugged on my jacket. This is an unprecedented attack on our republic and I demand criminal charges against the staffer as well as impeachment hearings."
