Jim Acosta’s ability to make himself the story may only be surpassed by April Ryan.
At today’s contentious White House press briefing, Ryan confronted Sarah Sanders and just wouldn’t let go:
"There are black and brown soldiers that fight in the military as well who feel taking the knee—bringing attention to police-involved shootings—is something that the W.H. should deal with. Is the president aware that taking the knee is about police-involved shootings?" (via CBS) pic.twitter.com/5AseKvM1Kx

.@PressSec to @AprilDRyan: "I let you rudely interrupt me and your colleague… I would be happy to answer if you would stop talking long enough to let me do that."

Are we supposed to be impressed by April Ryan interrupting Sarah Sanders?
I love you, @AprilDRyan. You made us so proud today. I'm crying.

That’s because you’re a pansy, Jeffrey. Seriously. If April Ryan yelling at Sarah Sanders makes you weep tears of joy, you’ve got problems.
And speaking of problems, April seems to have a problem doing legitimate journalism:

Gee, we can’t imagine why Sarah Sanders finds her so annoying.
Thanks for the update. https://t.co/CtIv1sHpru

If only it were true:
this didn't happen, but OK. a heckler was booed, not Trump https://t.co/oqf22VzfpM

This is not true. There was a protester who shouted at Trump and was booed. https://t.co/6zOSCifHFi

Welp.
.@AprilDRyan is so bad at lying that even her colleagues at CNN have to call her out to avoid embarrassment. pic.twitter.com/JhdCg0KrE7

It’s fine if you want respect, April. But you have to earn it first. You hack.

Update:
Oh, look. April’s changed her story:
Breaking: reporters are rewatching the event and found a heckler in the crowd started asking questions of @realDonaldTrump and the heckler was booed. The heckler was escorted out of the event. The booes were for the heckler

Good thing everyone already saw her original tweet and she got her B.S. narrative out there.
@AprilDRyan thanks for deleting the tweet. Here's your problem. Incorrect tweet had 3k RTs and 12k likes. Look at the corrected tweet. Your correction means bupkus..get it right the first time. It's not difficult. pic.twitter.com/Cv0s5NtMWG
