Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The View
Fair is foul and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air: Macbeth, Act 1, Scene 1
Itโs official โ we now live in an upside-down world where up is down. The View co-host Sunny Hostin actually claimed that a White House intern who was attempting to get a microphone from CNN propagandist Jim Acosta at the presidentโs direction, actually committed assault when he pushed her arm away.
The incident prompted White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to announce that Acostaโs White House credentials had been revoked. Instead of apologizing for the incident, CNN, along with much of the Democrat-media complex, defended Acosta.
Now, the View Co-Host Sunny Hostin is saying that the intern is really the one at fault.
โWhat I saw was a battery, not by Jim Acosta, but by the young White House aide,โ she said.
โWhen you are holding something โ if I may, if youโre holding something and you snatch this from me, this cup is now an extension of me and that means youโve battered me, youโve assaulted me,โ she added.
Meghan McCain sarcastically asked: โSo we should get her arrested for battery?โ
โIโm telling you what the law is,โ Hostin said.
Hostin also praised Acosta, Newsbusters said:
[T]he other thing is, when youโre talking about Jim Acosta being the headline if you think about the reporter that Jim Acosta is, Jim Acosta is a reporter who covered the war in Iraq from heโs a reporter that has covered many campaigns, Mitt Romneyโs campaigns. Heโs covered politics for a long time. He has, you know, been โ heโs asked very difficult questions of world leaders his entire career. Heโs the first foreign journalist in 50 years โ his father was a Cuban refugee. He actually in Cuba held Raul Castro to account for the human rights violations in Cuba. So this is a journalist who has spent his career doing what I think the great journalists do which is holding power to account for their actions.
She also claimed that Acosta has been equally tough with Obama: โHeโs done it with Obama and heโs done it with Trump. Trump doesnโt like it!โ
But, as one may expect like every other MSM reporter, during the Obama Administration Jim Acosta treated the former president with a reverence never seen before in political coverage.
The Truth is that anyone who believes the WH intern was at fault as opposed to Acosta is a few fries short of a happy meal. Or as Cole Porter wrote for the musical Anything Goes:
The world has gone mad today, And goodโs bad today,
And blackโs white today,, And dayโs night today,
And those guys today, The women prize today, are just silly gigolos
When folks who still can ride in jitneys, Find out Vanderbilts and Whitneys, lack baby clothes,
Anything goes.
