'This Isn't The Jim Fing Acosta Show': Journalists Unload On CNN's Acosta* Multiple reporters have privately complained about CNN's Jim Acosta in recent days as the reporter continues to wait on a federal judge's ruling as to whether he can at least temporarily restore the White House correspondent's press credentials. "A few CNN reporters told me that they’re embarrassed by Acosta & CNN," Republican strategist Arthur Schwartz said. "A WH correspondent from a major network (not Fox) told me 'This isn’t the Jim Fing Acosta Show. We all hate him. He's an ahole and he actually is disrespectful to the president.'" A few CNN reporters told me that they’re embarrassed by Acosta & CNN. A WH correspondent from a major network (not Fox) told me “This isn’t the Jim Fing Acosta Show. We all hate him. He’s an asshole and he actually is disrespectful to the president.” — Arthur Schwartz (@ArthurSchwartz) November 13, 2018 A member of the White House press corps told The Daily Wire this afternoon that "Acosta's one-man show is a lot less about asking the president tough questions than it is about aspiring to [get] his own show on CNN." Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer revealed on Tuesday during an appearance on Fox News' "The Story," with Martha MacCallum, that he has heard similar remarks made by other members of the press that work with Acosta. Speaking about Acosta's antics that got his press pass taken away, Spicer said, "It was rude and unbecoming to his other fellow journalists more than anything else." "There is clearly a group of journalists that are disgusted and find Mr. Acosta's behavior out of line," Spicer continued. "But, what happens is, and I wrote about this in my book, that there's a bunch of groupthink and fear about going against the groupthink that they all face in there. And so, right now they all feel compelled to come out and say. But privately, they'll tell you that they find his behavior unacceptable and doesn't bode well for their industry."

Acosta placed his hands on the intern and prevented her from taking the microphone: We stand by our decision to revoke this individual’s hard pass. We will not tolerate the inappropriate behavior clearly documented in this video. pic.twitter.com/T8X1Ng912y — Sarah Sanders (@PressSec) November 8, 2018 CNN and Acosta repeatedly lied (examples can be found here and here) about what happened, insisting that the event never happened despite the clear evidence that it did happen.

First Muslim Women in US Congress Misled Voters About Views on Israel DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL BECOMES PART OF DEMOCRAT PLATFORM by Soeren Kern • November 16, 2018 at 5:00 am "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel." — Ilhan Omar, in a tweet, November 2012. "When a politician singles out Jewish allies as 'evil,' but ignores every brutal theocratic regime in the area, it's certainly noteworthy...." — David Harsanyi, New York Post. "With many Jews expressing distaste for an 'illiberal' Israel, it's little surprise that the bulk of American Jewry isn't overly bothered about the election of Socialists who are unsympathetic to the Jewish state or consider Zionism to be racist." — Commentator Jonathan Tobin. Ilhan Abdullahi Omar (pictured) and Rashida Harbi Tlaib will be the first two Muslim women ever to serve in the US Congress. During her campaign, Omar criticized anti-Israel boycotts. Less than a week after being elected, however, Omar admitted that she supports the boycotts. (Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images) Ilhan Abdullahi Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Harbi Tlaib of Michigan will be the first two Muslim women ever to serve in the US Congress. Most of the media coverage since their election on November 6 has been effusive in praise of their Muslim identity and personal history. Less known is that both women deceived voters about their positions on Israel. Both women, at some point during their rise in electoral politics, led voters — especially Jewish voters — to believe that they held moderate views on Israel. After being elected, both women reversed their positions and now say they are committed to sanctioning the Jewish state. Continue Reading Article

In case you missed it, Democratic Congresswoman-elect Ilhan Omar has professed her support for the BDS movement (after tapdancing around the issue while she was running for office): twitchy.com Freshman Democrat is squints at notes a liar and an anti-Semite. Lovely. After Winning Election, Democrat Ilhan Omar Now Says She ‘Supports BDS Movement’ via @freebeacon https://t.co/wVEzbJVLrX — David Rutz (@DavidRutz) November 16, 2018 I’m so sorry you’re disappointed how painful your disappointment must be for you. You had every reason to expect better, didn’t you? How could she do this to you , especially since you had defended a disgusting anti -Semite? https://t.co/zgB0MgplWt — John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) November 16, 2018 Ugly stuff from Sarsour: https://t.co/QYuwuNpgq6 — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) November 16, 2018 Batya just argued that Jews should set aside their reservations about the Women's March anti-Semitism and stand with Sarsour and others for the sake of social justice. And Sarsour responds by calling her a dual-loyalist. There really is no bottom for Sarsour. — Seth Mandel (@SethAMandel) November 16, 2018 I argued that Jews should stay in the room and keep educating people, keep having the discussions, keep fighting the good fight. And I'm not 100% sure she's talking about me. But yes. This is horrific. A huge betrayal. — Batya Ungar-Sargon (@bungarsargon) November 16, 2018 Antisemites gonna antisemite. The left has a serious problem with normalizing antisemitism, and many are simply refusing to acknowledge or address it. pic.twitter.com/g1IlqOi2hb — (((AG))) (@AG_Conservative) November 16, 2018
