CNN’s senior White House correspondent unloaded on White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders after a contentious White House press conference this week; claiming his treatment was “un-American.”
Jim Acosta was speaking with another CNN journalist after President Trump referred to the press as the “enemies” of the American people, saying “he was getting tired” of the administration’s attacks on the mainstream media.

ACOSTA IMPLODES: Jim Acosta Says Hannity ‘INJECTING POISON’ into America, SEAN FIRES BACK
CNN senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta utterly imploded this week, lashing out at Sean Hannity and Press Secretary Sanders after being outright rejected at a recent Trump rally in Tampa, Florida.
The Trump-bashing reporter viciously attacked Hannity and his supporters on social media Wednesday, saying the nation’s top-rated news host was a “propagandist for profit.”
“Hannity is a propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night. He says he’s just a talk show host, not a journalist. But he’s injecting poison into the nation’s political bloodstream warping public attitudes about the press. I’m confident in the long run the truth will prevail,” tweeted Acosta.

Hannity fired-back at the CNN correspondent within minutes, blasting Acosta for his incendiary rhetoric and saying the American people are finally seeing “through his lies” for what they truly are: “Bulls***.”

CNN SNOWFLAKE: Jim Acosta WHINES White House ‘DROWNING OUT’ His Voice
CNN senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta publicly bemoaned his treatment by White House officials on social media Tuesday, complaining that press aides “shouted in his face” and that it was behavior one “would see in a different country.”
The fierce opponent of President Trump vented his frustrations on twitter this week, whining that he “has never encountered” this sort of resistance from White House officials and that it “certainly” not something one would see in the United States.
“As I attempted to ask questions in Roosevelt Room of Trump, WH press aides shouted in my face to drown out my questions. I have never encountered that before… What occurred reminded me of something I would see in a different country. Certainly not at the WH. Certainly not in the U.S.,” Acosta tweeted.

The CNN correspondent routinely feuds with White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and other Trump officials –including the President himself. Last week, Huckabee Sanders mocked Acosta to his face during a daily press briefing, saying the reporter’s numbers “would be higher” if President Trump watched CNN.
