CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta sent a direct message to a Twitter follower that read "F**k you" after being mocked on the social media platform on Thursday night.

The response came after Caporale jokingly responded to an Acosta tweet reporting on a rally in Montana featuring President Trump on Thursday.

"Tonight the Trump campaign/WH turned up the music so loud the press risers were vibrating," wrote Acosta. "Nearly impossible to do live TV. I suppose the WH loves those kinds of shenanigans. But I wonder if it’s a security concern for USSS [United States Secret Service] or local law enforcement. They can’t hear either."

Caporale responded by writing "Dear Diary..." in an attempt to mock Acosta.
“Fuck you,” Acosta wrote to Caporale, using Twitter's private direct message option.
