Welcome to Moscow-a-Lago comrade:



CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta accused White House press aides on Tuesday of trying to "drown out" his questions for President Trump by shouting when he tried to ask them.

In a video of a meeting between Trump and President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan, Acosta can be heard asking Trump questions while press aides are heard repeatedly saying, "thank you, Jim," and attempting to wrap up questions from the press.

Acosta in a series of tweets said it was a deliberate attempt to stop him from asking the president questions.

"As I attempted to ask questions in Roosevelt Room of Trump, WH press aides shouted in my face to drown out my questions," Acosta tweeted. "I have never encountered that before."
In another tweet, Acosta said the incident reminded him of "something I would see in a different country. ... Certainly not in the U.S."

This is a different country. Acosta should know that better than most by now.

The full love fest between the dictator who jails his political opponents and his admirer, Donald Trump, DTs painfully weird comments about "black unemployment" and the bizarre press exchange that follows...

Acosta is a self-aggrandizing tool. This isn't about Trump trying to suppress the media, it is about a disrespectful reporter that thinks being a douche means he is doing his job for the people.

Oh, yes. A careful review of the 45WhiteHouse-Acosta relationship clearly shows that the White House has been nothing but reasonable and decent with the man.

You have no understanding of how and why we have a free press, especially as it relates to the WH press pool.
