Does anyone remember the Jim Acosta who went to the White House to yell at President Trump? And who wouldn’t let him talk for more than about ten words before he started yelling again? On Saturday, the exact opposite happened as Acosta the CNN Host interviewed radical Rep. Maxine Waters. He sounded like every other kiss-up Karen. This is how it began:
ACOSTA: I want to read from an op-ed that you wrote for the L.A. Times. Let me put this up on screen.
It says: “Confronting injustice has been my life’s work. Not because of who I am. The right wing and members of Congress who subscribe to the views of groups like QAnon, the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys and the KKK have targeted me. Those very people who have done so to divert attention from the fact that they aided and abetted a violent domestic terrorist insurrection led by Donald Trump, to target me and say that I was violent or encouraging violence is a blatant distortion of the truth.”
Congresswoman, I wanted to show that to our viewers, but looking back, why was it important for you to use that word “confrontational” at the time?
WATERS: Well, let me just say that you’re absolutely correct in reading what I wrote about what had happened in Minneapolis and what is happening in this atmosphere that we’re in. I have been involved with dealing with police abuse for many, many years.
“Auntie Maxine” prattled on for three entire minutes while Acosta just sat there with his Brian Stelter Serious Face on.
Later on, after gently asking her to respond to what the judge in the Chauvin case said about her remarks about getting more confrontational in the streets, he returned to asking questions that sounded written by a publicist:
ACOSTA: Well, Congresswoman, let me ask you more about this op-ed that you wrote. You say you’re non-violent while also referencing that there are right-wing members of Congress who subscribe to the views of QAnon and the Proud Boys. Do you believe that those congressional Republicans are non-violent?
WATERS: Well, no. Because what is very interesting is I am threatened to be killed very often. And so we are reporting to the Capitol Police and they are investigating all of these attempts to kill me and people are so — not attempts but, you know, people who are calling in saying that they’re going to kill me. And we don’t know how close they’ve gotten to doing that.
But we do know this — the Oath Keepers started to march on my office, and they organized, and they got very open about it. The police, LAPD, did stop them. And the community turned out when they learned about it. But that doesn’t get written about.
Then she started fulminating about members of Congress carrying guns, and how that is somehow inherently violent. Acosta then tossed some additional softballs:
ACOSTA: Let me ask you this because right now, the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act is stalled in the Senate. Democrats, as you know, don’t have the 60 votes needed to bypass a filibuster. Are you concerned that Congress is going to miss a huge opportunity here, do you think?
….You’re seeing some of these bills in states across the country, places like Oklahoma and Florida, where they’re trying to place restrictions on protesting. They’re calling them anti-riot bills and so on. Have you seen this? And what is your response to some of these bills?
Aggressive Acosta is now doing a weekend show on the Coddling News Network.
Wouldn’t it be GREAT to see Jim Acosta and Mad Max(ine) Waters in prison – in the same cell – with just one bunk!
Two peas in a pod here. I wish both of them could pay the ultimate price for their evil ways.
Two complete nut jobs. They both should be in an asylum with padded walls. How do these people actually function in society?
Who is the gorilla on the right in the photo?
both of these A-Holes should be executed for High Treason….The Scumbags that they are.!!
Wow!!!!!, finally someone makes sense……thank you Chris!!!!!!!, VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!
Waters is 82 years old…..WHY isn’t there an age limit for these oldies? PLEASE ! Let’s get these people out of office…..there MUST be age limits…..Water’s, Pelosi, Schumer, Biden, etc. ! AND YES, Acosta IS an excellent ass-kisser ! By the way…..if CNN would be honest with the public, they would report how January 6 WAS a peaceful protest. Not one TRUMP SUPPORTER had any weapon of any kind!! Do your research sometime Water’s, and try to speak the truth sometime….IF only ONCE !!
Why is this guy still alive?
They are two of a kind. The kind that nobody likes, wants, and usually doesn’t like. Both, with their big mouths, have hurt and done harm to people, regardless of race, color, sexual preference, or even intelligence.
