Jim Acosta just can’t quit Trump.
It would be funny if it weren’t so pathetic and sad.
We get that his job is to cover the White House, but we’re pretty sure that job doesn’t entail him spinning the news in a negative way to hurt Trump. But then again, he does work for CNN so who knows?
Look at this crap.
Trump in Rose Garden speech paints asylum seekers with broad brush accusing them of misleading immigration authorities at border: “These are frivolous claims.”
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) May 16, 2019
And if you look at Jim’s feed you’ll see all sorts of angry Leftists shaking their little fists and comparing Trump to Hitler.
Which is exactly what Jim wanted.
There’s just one problem.
CNN's @Acosta is a liar.
Trump said: "Unfortunately legitimate asylum seekers are being displaced by those lodging frivolous claims. These are frivolous claims to gain admission into our country. Asylum abuse also strains our public school systems, hospitals, local shelters…" https://t.co/gZ0y6AhfwC

Oh, he lied.
Whoda thunk it?
80 percent of asylum cases at southwest border are not legitimate https://t.co/7jnjU3ald6

Womp-womp.
Imagine how much embarrassment Jim could save himself if he just spent a little time actually reporting and investigating instead of pandering and whining on Twitter.
As always.
Good thing no one pays attention to him.— Glen Miller (@satanscomic) May 16, 2019
Fair point.
more frivolous claims by @acosta

@Acosta should have subtitles

Saying @Acosta lied is like saying Tim Tebow prayed.
— Jacob Christner (@JacobChristner3) May 16, 2019
It’s sort of a given at this point.
True.
There are times it is hard to say which @Acosta is better at, lying about what @POTUS says, or crying about being called a liar for lying. Of all the hacks void of any honor or integrity, he plows one of the deeper paths.

@Acosta is a disgrace to the profession he pretends at.
— Wolverine (@atchjs) May 16, 2019
Eh. He’s more the norm in his profession than a disgrace.
Which may be the saddest thing we’ve written in a long while.
Jim. Be better.
