These are the same lies that have convinced Americans to dislike President Trump and it’s unacceptable.
CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta on Thursday misquoted a portion of President Donald Trump’s immigration speech and was quickly met with a fact-check by a Breitbart News reporter.
Speaking in the Rose Garden, President Donald Trump unveiled immigration reform proposals aimed at increasing the quota for skilled workers. During his remarks, the president assailed some asylum seekers’ abuses of the country’s immigration system. “Our nation has a proud history of affording protection to those fleeing government persecutions. Unfortunately, legitimate asylum seekers are being displaced by those lodging frivolous claims,” he said.
Acosta promptly accused the president of portraying all asylum claims as unmerited, misquoting him on social media: “Trump in Rose Garden speech paints asylum seekers with broad brush accusing them of misleading immigration authorities at border: ‘These are frivolous claims.’”
Moments later, Breitbart News White House correspondent Charlie Spiering replied directly to Acosta by sharing President Trump’s full quote, which highlighted that “legitimate asylum seekers are being displaced by those lodging frivolous claims.”
Acosta did not acknowledge that he had misquoted the president after Spiering’s correction.
As Breitbart News’ John Binder reported, foreign nationals seeking asylum in the U.S. evade immediate deportation after claiming credible fear in 88 percent of cases, according to the Department of Justice. Yet, only 50 percent of the foreign nationals who evade immediate deportation by claiming credible fear end up filing for asylum status following there released into the country.

Always delighted when Acosta is shown to be a lying liberal lowlife — AGAIN. I’ve been in journalism for nearly 50 years, and it’s embarrassing at times to admit that I am considering how many scumbags, especially at CNN and MSNBC, that there are in the profession. Sadly, Acosta is the leader of the pack with his utterly unprofessional comments and actions. He usually wants TO BE the story instead of REPORT it. What an utter disgrace to himself, journalism and the country!!!!!! What a sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry excuse for a human being!!!!
why isn’t this guy FIRED?? He is a complete FOOL and STUPID too,,
Acosta SHOULD BE FIRED!!! He’s a lying A**hole
Lock him up for treason lies on a setting President Trump ! Acosta
Acosta should be permanently banned from the White House and his credentials take away. A low life reporter for fake news CNN. Their ratings are below the food channel lol. The guy has no class whatsoever
Well, you’re right, however he does work for the Clinton News Network. What can you expect, from that douchebag?
Jim Acosta does not have hemorrhoids because he is a perfect ASSHOLE.
When a person tells only the truth, they don’t ever have a problem remembering what they said.
It’s no surprise that Acosta has been caught creating “Fake News.” He’s the official East Coast distributor of Fake News, which is his sole occupation.
Acosta needs to be shown the door every time he shows up. No one wants to hear his lies or his take , or his personal comments. He’s a clown in a business suit.
After 41 years in TV in various executive positions, almost 30 as General Manager of NBC owned and CBS affiliated TV stations between 1957-2002, I along with others my age saw the decline of honest journalism begin in the late 60’s to todays “fake news.” So called “journalists” like Acosta wouldn’t be hired even to give the likes of Chet Huntley, Frank McGee, and David Brinkley a shoe shine! “Honest Network TV news managers” are history. I can speak with a personal experience when in the early ’70s, the network would send us News directors instead of the traditional way of the local General Manager doing the hiring! Obviously, they were liberal in practice and would advise the GM that they reported to NY only!! As time went on the major journalism colleges would become a “farm system” for the networks to avoid hiring a conservative reporter. How else can anyone explain why true journalism is gone? Back in the 50’s we were proud that Americans were finding network TV news had bi-passed radio and print as the very best news source with a beievability ranking in the high 90’s. Today, that ranking is less then 50% , if that much! You could probably see the same with late night TV where Johnny Carson and others were entertainers as opposed to todays not funny, but sarcastic so called entertainers who are shilling for the socialist liberals, which in essence means they can fire good writers because they are no longer needed, instead, they get their material from the N.Y.Times!! For most of my younger years I enjoyed true comics like Bob Hope and others who didn’t have to resort to garbage like thrust upon us today. Hope’s funniest and not cruel comment when Jimmy Carter became President was Ruffles and Flourishes would now be played by a jug band when Carter entered! Maybe it’s just my sense of humor, but I thought that was funny and not mean. Of course that was before P.C. took humor out of business and substituted mean spirited comments that presumably to the libs was acceptable. Enough said.
Yes, Bruce, Steve, Dick, John, Stan, & Kat! His name says it all. To ACCOST; Lie, threaten, be hostile, vile, angry. ACOSTA is Wicked, Evil, Bad, Mean, & Nasty – and thoes are his good points!
Why does that surprise you? Acosta and the Cartoon News Network is nothing more then
