There may be no one in the liberal media that conservatives see as a bigger villain than CNN’s Jim Acosta.
But Acosta finally met his match.
And Jim Acosta waived the white flag of surrender in this fight with a top Trump ally.
Jim Acosta melts down in interview with Trump campaign officialÂ
Jim Acosta brought Trump campaign official Corey Lewandowski for an interview after the Vice-Presidential debate.
Given how thoroughly Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance thrashed Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz, Acosta wanted to talk about anything but the debate.
Acosta tried to throw Lewandowski off by dredging up an old story about controversial allegations that Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating people’s pets.
“Corey, can you say that Haitian migrants are not eating pets in Springfield?” Acosta asked.
Lewandowski didn’t take the bait and kept on the real issue, which is that 13,000 illegal aliens convicted of murder and 16,000 found guilty of violent sexual crimes were living in the United States and border czar Kamala Harris wasn’t lifting a finger to deport them.
“Can you say, you know what I can say, Jim? I can say that 13,099 murderers were let into this country, 16,000 rapes, 425,000 people in the last four years have been let into this country by by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s own Customs and Border Protection that are running around this country,” Lewandowski responded.
Rather than address the failures of the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris administration to enforce immigration law, Acosta seized on Lewandowski’s comments to pitch a fit over how Lewandowski pronounced Kamala Harris’ name.
“The other thing, too, It’s Kamala Harris. I don’t know. Is there… why do you guys say, KaMALa? That is, it’s Kamala Harris. I just–.” Acosta began before Lewandowski jumped back in to try and keep the conversation on topic.
Kamala Harris’ immigration failuresÂ
Acosta also tried to falsely claim that Lewandowski’s stat that 13,000 killer illegal aliens lived in America was somehow fake.
Lewandowski challenged Acosta on why he was disputing numbers that came straight from the Biden-Kamala Harris administration.
Lewandowski also pressed Acosta on why the media tried to erase American citizens who were the victims of migrant crime.
“Jim, we know that they’re committing crimes against Americans. Why? Why can’t these individuals talk about the individuals who’ve been killed by illegal immigrants…” Lewandowski tried to say before Acosta again cut him off.
Acosta remained fixated on how Lewandowski pronounced Kamala Harris’ name and wouldn’t let the point go.
“Corey, you can’t say? What is this, KaMAHla? It’s Kamala Harris. Corey, you’ve been in this business a long time. You’re I think you’re a mature, grown up. It’s Kamala Harris. Can you just say can you say Kamala or you cannot say Kamala?” Acosta badgered.
Lewandowski tried again to stay on the topic of Kamala Harris’ failures as border czar, but Acosta knew that was a losing discussion for him so he simply shut down the interview.
“Yeah. Well, Corey, you know, I appreciate you coming on. Maybe we’ll have you back. Thanks for your time,” Acosta concluded.
