The latest example of Jim Acosta banging a can against Team Trump on Tuesday night for describing some “Dreamers” as too lazy to apply for DACA status to prevent them from deportation. Chief of staff John Kelly told The Washington Post some were “too lazy to get off their asses.” This sounds designed to get Acosta’s goat, and he unloaded on Anderson Cooper 360:
ACOSTA: Just on the face of it, isn’t that just a wildly offensive comment about these undocumented immigrants who are waiting for some kind of solution to come out of this city?
SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS: Look, the only person that’s actually offered a solution is this administration. The president’s been a championed of giving 1.8 million DACA recipients and DACA eligible people a pathway to citizenship, and he’s laid a plan and a solution that actually addresses both Republicans and Democrats’ concerns. I think it’s hard to argue with that statement. – READ MORE
[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]CNN’s Jim Acosta contradicted his own reporting on FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe Monday, apparently without even realizing he was doing so.
Source familiar with McCabe matter describes his departure as a “mutual” decision. He was tired of being “undermined” but Trump and WH was “not happy” with him.

The senior White House correspondent tweeted again about 30 minutes later, insisting that McCabe was actually being “pushed out” of the position. Acosta claimed that the second tweet was just additional reporting, rather than actually a correction on his claim that McCabe left the FBI on his own.
More… Source telling us FBI Director Wray told McCabe he was bringing on a new team and that he was not part of it. Writing was on the all. All points to McCabe essentially being pushed out. https://t.co/6gET0Y7dOH

What Acosta apparently didn’t realize is that 1. McCabe leaving the FBI voluntarily and 2. McCabe being “pushed out” are mutually exclusive events, and one of his tweets is in dire need of a correction. – READ MORE
[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]President Donald Trump has come up with a new nickname for Jim Acosta — a CNN reporter with whom he has been known to spar.
In an early-morning tweet posted Tuesday, Trump referred to CNN’s chief White House correspondent as “crazy Jim Acosta.”
According to Acosta’s Trump-friendly sources, the compromise that ended the three-day-long federal government shutdown was seen as a “win” for Trump, but a failure for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and his fellow Democrats.
Trump world and WH sources dancing in end zone: “Trump wins again… “ Schumer and Dems “caved… gambled and lost.”

Even Crazy Jim Acosta of Fake News CNN agrees: “Trump World and WH sources dancing in end zone: Trump wins again…Schumer and Dems caved…gambled and lost.” Thank you for your honesty Jim!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 23, 2018
The following morning, Trump quoted Acosta’s words, indicating that “even Crazy Jim Acosta of Fake News CNN agrees” the Democrats “caved” in regard to the shutdown. – READ MORE
