CNN’s Acosta: Trump Tweet ‘Is Going to Lead to a Journalist Being Hurt’ — ‘He’s Trying to Silence Us’

Sunday on CNN, White House Correspondent for CNN Jim Acosta said President Donald Trump’s tweet of a video that shows him wrestling a CNN logo was “going to lead to a journalist being hurt.”

Acosta said, “I think our statement really sums it up. You know, there are two approaches to this. One is, we can just sit back and be silent and just take it. There are some people who say don’t take the bait. You are going to encourage this behavior even more.

I think we’re well past that now. I think we’re at the stage where we have to try the other approach, which is we have to stand up to this. We have to confront this and say that it’s wrong. I speak for myself. I can’t speak for everybody who has covered Donald Trump since he was a candidate.

I covered him throughout that campaign, and now that he’s president of the United States—my concern is, and I know it’s shared by others, is that this kind of rhetoric, this kind of behavior is going to lead to a journalist being hurt. That’s the thing I worry about.”
He continued, “I hate that I’m worried about that on 4th of July weekend when we’re all supposed to be celebrating our freedoms, including the First Amendment, the right to free speech and the free press. That’s what I’m concerned about, and I think where we stand right now is—people have a choice on all sides of the political spectrum, on both sides of the political aisle.

Where are you going to stand in all of this? Are you going to say well, it’s okay for the president to engage in this kind of attack the news media, try to intimidate the news media? He’s trying to silence us, that’s what’s going on here. Or are people going to say enough is enough? I think that we’ve reached that point where people need to say, enough is enough.

It doesn’t matter what party you’re from, what side of the political spectrum you’re on, this is just not the kind of information you expect to come from the president of the United States.”

Hannity Makes Epic Threat Against Joe And Mika “I’m Very Very Close To ____”

Fox’s Sean Hannity has had a rivalry with MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski for quite some time. They have traded jabs back and forth on twitter. Hannity recently announced that he would pay for Joe and Mika’s couple’s therapy. However, after President Trump’s tweets about Mika, the conflict escalated.

Mika and Joe have been milking the attention they have been receiving after President Trump’s tweets. Mika has called President Trump a ‘dictator’ ‘not well’ ‘ill’, and compared him to North Korea, ISIS and Hitler. However, the media will never point this out. They will just call Trump the bully. Hannity slammed them hard.

“I’m am very very close to going “there” with Joe and Mika. Sick of their BS,” tweeted Hannity. He posted a link to an American Thinker blog called “Joe and Mika, wallowing in the mud”.
“The ever-execrable Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezenski are basking in the glory of mud of their own making; they think they are heroes of a kind because Trump tweeted something crass about them. Indeed he did. But it was well-deserved. The pair host a morning program on the anti-Trump MSNBC each morning to which they dedicate nearly every moment to trashing Trump in every conceivable way, mostly personal,” wrote the article.

“They relentlessly mock him physically, mentally, and in every other way possible and have done so these past eight months. They are cruel and vicious like the worst ten-year-old bully at a rough elementary school. They rarely discuss policy; they would not have a clue. They know nothing about health care, immigration, tax reform, national security, etc. They are thoroughly ignorant of all things substantive. They only know Democrat talking points which lack substance, to say the least,” says the article.
