Trump Breaking News Network - Lawmaker: ‘Disrespectful’ CNN Reporter Who Shouted Questions At Trump ‘Should Be Fired’

by Alicia Powe.

A Republican congressman is calling for CNN to fire senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta for being “disruptive” and “disrespectful” during President-elect Donald Trump’s press conference Wednesday.

In a tweet Thursday, Rep. Randy Weber, R-Texas, also said Acosta should be banned from future press conferences.

During the press conference, Trump blasted CNN and BuzzFeed for their reports Tuesday on unsubstantiated documents alleging Trump engaged in salacious personal conduct during a trip to Moscow and that he had extensive political connections in the Russian government.

Trump slammed BuzzFeed as a “failing pile of garbage” and criticized CNN for first reporting on the allegations.

Without being called on, CNN’s Acosta started shouting out questions.

“You’re attacking us, can you give us a question? Mr. President-elect, since you are attacking our news organization, can you give us a chance?” he asked.

“Not you, your organization is terrible,” Trump shot back.

The CNN reporter persisted, talking over another reporter.

“She’s asking a question, don’t be rude,” Trump said.

When Acosta pressed on, Trump declared, “No, I’m not going to give you a question. You are fake news!”

“Mr. President-elect that’s not appropriate,” Acosta said before falling silent and allowing the next reporter the space to ask her question.

Incoming White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer reportedly warned Acosta that he would be expelled from press conference if he pushed for another question.

Afterward, Spicer said on Twitter that Acosta should apologize to Trump and his fellow reporters

Throughout the presidential campaign, Trump accused CNN of being unfair to him and supportive of his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton, calling it the “Clinton News Network.”
