'This is gold'! Fed-up Kellyanne Conway lays into 'smarta**' Jim Acosta [video]

Man, today really is not Jim Acosta’s day (then again, is it ever?).

Was just thinking there hasn't been an Acosta news cycle here in awhile, and like always, perfect timing.

He’s been taking it from all sides, and now Kellyanne Conway’s entered the mix:

CNN’s Jim Acosta: “Kellyanne, can you promise the president will tell the truth tonight?”

Conway: “Yes, Jim. Do you promise that you will? … this is why I am one of the only people around here who even gives you the time of day…because you’re such a smartass most of the time” pic.twitter.com/8fZ1iycl9R

Oooof.

Conway can be insufferable, but again, behavior from Acosta you wouldn't see toward a (D) POTUS advisor in 100 years if you lived for it.

What substance can you get from “will you promise the President will tell the truth tonight?” It’s an attack, not a question. And after she called him out, he followed it up with more insults.

You can’t complain about being labeled the opposition when you behave like it.

Yep. Regardless of what you think about Kellyanne Conway, it’s hard not to take at least a little joy in seeing Jim Acosta get verbally smacked around.
