'They'd Be Gone!' Jim Acosta Stunned Trump Gets Away With Saying Biden Did Cocaine and Remarks On Jews, White Immigrants

And the reason WHY he gets away with it is, in part, because of the medias normalization of this criminal.

‘They’d Be Gone!’ Jim Acosta Stunned Trump Gets Away With Saying Biden Did Cocaine — Or Remarks On Jews and White Immigrants - Mediaite

CNN anchor Jim Acosta was stunned that former President Donald Trump faces no “consequences” when he says things that would end another person’s career — such as accusing President Joe Biden of doing cocaine before a speech.

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN Newsroom, Acosta ticked through a list of recent Trump outrages that he says would have ended a normal politician, but got little attention when Trump did it — like his cocaine remark, his comments about Jews who support Biden, or his cracks about welcoming immigrants from predominantly White countries.

CNN analyst Joe Walsh agreed with Acosta, and blamed the media’s “normalization” of Trump

Somehow he avoided being purged as he pre-dates their rightward shift. Remember he used to battle regularly during the trump admin daily White House press conferences with winger, and liar Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, now the maga extreme governor of Arkansas.

How moronic and completely gullible he obviously thinks they are.

Demonstrating his contempt by winging it through whatever absolutely senseless BULLSHIT that comes to mind,.

He can stand there grunting and making pig noises, and they'll eat it up

That's how this should be covered. Ask congressperson so and so if they agree with his latest insane comments. That's how you make it a story.
