As Twitchy readers know, CNN has filed a lawsuit against Trump and other aides for revoking Jim Acosta’s credentials after he acted like a toddler during a presser. And although the government has not stepped in to keep Acosta from reporting, CNN somehow thinks that his being banned from the White House is a violation of his First Amendment rights.
You know, all Jim really had to do was apologize and this would have likely been over but OH NO, drama queen couldn’t do it the easy way.
And CNN wonders why we make fun of them.
Here is Jim’s ‘declaration’ of support for the lawsuit:

Notice how Jim doesn’t take any responsibility for helping create his situation.
Typical.

Told ya’.
Jim Acosta is protected by the little-known Article 66, Section 71 of the US Constitution which stipulates all Americans have a God-given right to a White House hard pass in order to scream at the President as long as they want to & play ‘hide the mic’ with WH interns https://t.co/T1REDENXhv

Hey, where’s OUR pass?!
It’s almost as if CNN is trying harder to keep him banned. And if he isn’t drumming up ratings for CNN throwing tantrums in the WH, his value is diminished and then they can fire him. I like where this is going ?

CNN and especially Jim Acosta have become the story which you’d think would be an embarrassment for all involved.
