Acosta Goes After Conservative Reporter… Sarah Sanders Levels Him with Clip from His Past

CNN’s senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta, in his ever-present quest for air time that is usually achieved by battling with President Donald Trump or White House press secretary Sarah Sanders during media briefings, has a tendency to open himself up to counterattacks with his own posturing.
That happened once again on Tuesday, when Acosta had the audacity to chide a conservative-leaning reporter for allegedly offering up a “softball question” to Trump during a joint news conference in the White House Rose Garden with Brazilian President Jair Bolsanaro, according to The Daily Caller.
Speaking on CNN following the conclusion of the briefing, Acosta called out a reporter for The Daily Caller, Saagar Enjeti, and said, “And then (Trump) was asked that question by a reporter from The Daily Caller right at the very end. You know … the question was asked in a way that really teed it up like a game of teeball here in the Rose Garden. The president was just sort of served up a softball there when he was asked whether or not the Democrats were advancing a lot of socialist ideas.
Jason Howerton of TheBlaze noted Acosta’s insult of Enjeti for asking a “softball” question of the president, and combined that brief clip with another of Acosta when former President Barack Obama was still in office and the CNN reporter had asked about the then-president’s “best week ever” and how he would spend his accumulated “political capital” on the “hard things” he wanted to deal with in his last few months in office.

Acosta’s whiny remarks about Enjeti, particularly in light of the softballs he himself lobbed up for Obama to hit, clearly fell under what has become a catch-all for Acosta commentary that have become known as “Dear diary” posts, as they resemble things an angst-ridden and musing teen might write in a daily journal.
Indeed, Sarah Sanders shared Howerton’s post and added a caption that read, “Dear Diary…#BestWeekEver”
Unfortunately for Acosta, the hits didn’t stop there, brutal though they may have been in highlighting his utter hypocrisy.
Even Enjeti and The Daily Caller joined in on the fun in hitting back at CNN’s publicity-seeking microphone hog.
