Jim Acosta Insults Angel Moms Then Gets Owned By One

CNN reporter Jim Acosta had a tough day on Friday as he got hit from every side.

It started when he insulted Angel mothers whose children were murdered at the hands of illegal aliens.

“We saw people leaving the White House there with photos. Do we know who they are?” CNN anchor Jim Sciutto asked Acosta before President Donald Trump spoke at the Rose Garden.

“Jim, we believe those are some of the Angel Moms that the president has talked so much about out on the campaign trail, at rallies and so on,” Acosta told Sciutto.

“These are parents of victims who were allegedly killed by undocumented immigrants,” he said.

“The president likes to point to these folks who have been through some terrible experiences as evidence a wall is needed down at the border,” Acosta said.

Allegedly? Nope Jim they were murdered by illegal immigrants.

“I suspect, Jim, if we are seeing some of the Angel moms coming in, the president will be trying to drum up some emotional energy on this occasion, to try to sell the wall,” Acosta said.

“We have seen him do it before,” he said.

Emotional energy? These mothers kids were murdered and you are accusing President Trump of using them as props.

President Trump has been the only person in government who has shown any care for these parents.

Sciutto then called the Angel Moms as “mothers who lost children, or alleged to have lost children to undocumented immigrants in this country.”

After President Trump gave his speech Acosta was met with Angel Moms who were angry with he way Acosta dismissed their claims when he questioned President Trump.

“I’m standing in front of angel moms who came to the Rose Garden to testify to what they have been through in terms of their ordeals dealing with crime in this country and the undocumented immigrants that were responsible for the crimes that took away their loved ones,” Acosta said.

“You saw the moment when the president pointed to some of these ladies here so they can say the crimes that happened to our family members that those are real crimes. We were just having a conversation,” he said.

“I was telling them in terms of all of us here at CNN our hearts go out to them. There is no attempt to take away what they have gone through,” Acosta said.

“As you heard in the question that I had with the president there it was really about the facts and the data and the disconnect that we have when we hear the president talk about immigration, he tends to talk about it in ways that demonize immigrants,” he said.

“That just don’t stick to the facts. I wanted to point it out that folks came up to me after the press conference and they are holding up these pictures of these loved ones who lost their lives. You were telling me a few moments ago this happened to you, as well,” he said.

The Angel Mom standing next to him, an immigrant, was not interested in his talking points.

“Yes. I’m a legal immigrant. This is my son. We need to secure our borders to protect American citizens. President Trump is completely correct on this issue. We need to protect this country,” she said.

And with that Acosta was done talking to her.
