CNN SNOWFLAKE: Acosta Urges Reporters to ‘STICK TOGETHER’ Against Sarah Sanders
CNN’s Jim Acosta took his war of words against the White House to a new level this week, urging reporters to “stick together” to challenge Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders during her daily press briefings.
The White House correspondent issued the call on social media Monday afternoon, saying journalists should “insist on answers if somebody is cut off” by the Press Secretary.
“One way to address the briefing is for reporters to stick together when the press sec cuts somebody off. Ideally we could and should insist on answers if somebody is cut off. We don’t do that as much as we should. Problem is there is so little time and so many pressing q’s,” tweeted Acosta.

Acosta’s outright hostility towards the White House is nothing new, with the senior correspondent coming under fire months ago after he publicly harassed the President and his family during the White House Easter Egg festivities.
