CNN and its controversial reporter Jim Acosta “will come to regret” the behavior that led to the temporary revocation of Acosta’s White House media pass following a contentious press conference with President Donald Trump recently. That’s the opinion of former CNN political commentator Jeffrey Lord, a conservative, as he shared it on Tuesday night on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”
“This is about conduct, not about content. You know, in the last couple days we’ve heard from Major Garrett now with CBS. In the Obama days, of course, he was the White House correspondent for Fox. No one remembers Major Garrett acting like Jim Acosta. It’s because he didn’t,” Lord said.
“We have gone so far down the path of the wrong direction with this stuff and it’s almost unbelievable. And I think CNN and Jim Acosta will come to regret it. So will their compadres in the room,” Lord concluded.
“This is totally unprofessional stuff. And I think that CNN has to be very careful here what they wish for because now if there are going to be a set of rules and regulations, then the good press secretary that Sarah is, she’s going to have to — and she will, I have no doubt — call them out,” Lord warned.
