GOP Congressman Wants CNN to Fire Reporter for Spat With Donald Trump
Texas Republican Congressman Randy Weber thinks CNN should fire reporter Jim Acosta after he repeatedly interrupted President-elect Donald Trump’s press conference on Wednesday.
The CNN reporter who was disruptive to the press briefing, & disrespectful to Trump-should be fired & prohibited from any press briefings.
Trump had scolded CNN during Wednesday’s press conference, because he doesn’t like the way the network handled coverage of a controversial Russia dossier that was eventually published by BuzzFeed.
Incoming Press Secretary Sean Spicer said that Acosta owes Trump an apology on Twitter after the reporter mentioned that Spicer threatened to remove him if he continues to interrupt the president-elect.
CNN released a statement on Wednesday responding to Trump’s allegation that CNN is “fake news” during his first press conference as president-elect.
