Another “Dear Diary” entry from CNN’s Jim Acosta:

Acosta later got into it with Mitch McConnell’s communications director, Don Stewart:

More bashing the press by those in power. First Amendment getting you down Stew?

And that’s when Acosta got the First Amendment lesson…
Nope, in fact I was exercising my First Amendment rights.
