That feel when you come across a tweet from a Twitter rando that features a foul DM from Jim Acosta and you can’t believe it’s real so you write it off at first. But then you start reading through the feed and HOLY COW it seems real.
It started here.
IM SORRY. WHATTTT?????

What a lovely singing voice Jim must have.
.@Acosta you owe me an apology.

NOW, true story, screenshots like the one this tweep shared are very, very easy to manipulate so if this was the only thing on the thread we likely would have written it off. Oh, we’d have retweeted it and probably have pointed and laughed at Acosta, but write about it?
Eh. Probably not.
But then we saw this:
Hey buddy I thought you were an old friend from the campaign days. I’m so sorry. Hope I didn’t offend you. Have a good night and take care. https://t.co/4u9fj1BNPI
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) October 19, 2018
And did a double take.
Ok, actually a triple take.
Name? Check. Handle? Check. Verified? Check.
HOLY COW.
So if he acknowledged that he sent it and apologized that probably makes it real, yes?
And then he blocked me. pic.twitter.com/F5cq84LAF8

Oh, and then there was this.
Classy.
@Acosta care to comment?

He hasn’t said much on it since he apologized.

This is a very sad way for a member of the WH Press Corp to behave. https://t.co/4wgHKOkVC8

See?
This appears to be the tweet that provoked it https://t.co/UE7HJePbDs

Awww, well that explains it. A little.
Who knew the ‘Dear Diary’ bit was so triggering for Acosta?
LOL.
