CNN’s Acosta Urges Reporters to ‘Stick Together’ After Sarah Sanders Shuts Down His Rude Question
Sarah is the best press secretary the White House has EVER had and, so, the liberal reporters are trying to take her down!
On Monday afternoon, CNN’s Jim Acosta urged reporters “stick together” to get answers from White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders when she cuts them off. Acosta issued the call on social media, 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 suggestion came after Sarah Sanders shut down after he tried to repeatedly ask the same question. Acosta’s initial question was:
“Rudy Giuliani, the president’s outside lawyer, said to the Huffington Post, ‘In no case can he be subpoenaed or indicted. […] If he shot James Comey, he’d be impeached the next day. Impeach him, and then you can do whatever you want to do to him.’ Is that appropriate language coming from the president’s outside lawyer to be talking about the president shooting Jim Comey in that fashion?”
Sanders replied, “You would have to ask Rudy Giuliani about his specific comments. But thankfully, the president hasn’t done anything wrong. We feel very comfortable in that.”
However, Acosta wasn’t satisfied and tried to follow up four times until Sanders eventually dismissed him with a simple, “Not today, Jim!”
Well start pulling press passes and start with Mr. Acosta. These are briefings for the press to be informed. It is not a control by media and journalist. Its a courtesy to them, not a necessary thing. And Jim Acosta should know that if there are so little time and so many questions, then he should give others a chance instead of using his usual tactic of repeatedly, repetitively, over and over, asking the same question like he is going to get a different answer.
Acosta needs his press credentials pulled! Do you agree?
