Kellyanne Conway embarrasses CNN's Jim Acosta: 'You're such a smarta--'
Kellyanne Conway embarrassed CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta during a press gaggle on Tuesday, referring to him as a 'smarta--' unliked by other reporters. Acosta questioned Conway about whether President Trump would tell the truth when addressing the nation Tuesday night, prompting the heated exchange.
Kellyanne Conway embarrassed CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta during a press gaggle on Tuesday, referring to him as a "smarta--" unliked by other reporters.
Acosta asked Conway if she could promise that President Trump would tell the truth when addressing the nation on Tuesday night.
"Yes, Jim," Conway shot back, "Can you promise that you will? The whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God? Am I allowed to mention 'God' to you?"
Acosta – who has emerged as a household name for interruptions when Trump and members of his administration are made available to the press – responded by telling Conway that he doesn’t have an “alternative facts” problem like she does.
"Make sure that goes viral. This is why I’m one of the only people around here who gives you the time of day," Conway said. "You’re such a smarta-- most of the time and I know you want this to go viral."
Conway then told Acosta that “a lot of these people” don’t like him, while pointing to his peers.
“Don't you put it back in my face for all corrections your network needs to issue,” she continued, mocking CNN. “I was on your network 25 or 26 times in 2018. I’m one of the last people here who even bothered to go on, and the disrespect you show to me personally, I’ll look past it.”
Acosta replied, “Ma’am.”
“Don't call me ma'am,” Conway responded.
Last year Acosta was briefly banned from the White House after he engaged in a contentious back-and-forth with Trump during a Nov. 7 press conference. During the now-infamous moment, Acosta refused to pass the microphone to a female White House aide.
Acosta’s press pass was restored on Nov. 19 after CNN argued that keeping him out of the White House violated the network and Acosta’s First and Fifth Amendment rights.
To coincide with Acosta being allowed to return to the White House, Press Secretary Sarah Sanders implemented a series of rules to govern White House press conferences going forward.
The CNN reporter has been praised by liberal comedians such as Jimmy Kimmel, and even appeared in the most recent season of the Netflix political drama “House of Cards.”

Jim Acosta is that sanctimonious prick, that seems to be at every party, that everyone tries to avoid at all costs.
What a nimrod!
I appreciate Jim Acosta. He's doing a great service demonstrating how biased the MSM is.
Acosta reminds me of annoying grammar school pests who pick their noses and then try to smear their snot on the girls just to get their attention.
looks like KellyAnn really likes bugerz
she's more used to having another bodily fluid smeared on her, in the oval office
after years of providing political consulting services to rightwing leadership, you would think Kellyanne's skin and hair would be in a lot better condition

trump is a billionaire
too bad the lying c*nt article was deleted so that I can't link it here to refute that comment
Is he? Why do we think so?
IMO, the reason we haven't seen his tax returns is because he doesn't want everybody to know he's not nearly as rich as he likes everybody to think.
Nothing to refute on her article. If I recall correctly, the second to the last sentence was the most believable thing she has ever said on NT.
trump would be wealthier now if had put his inheritance in the bank, that's how successful he was in business. I have a feeling we'll be seeing some of trumps tax returns before the next election.
That could be an issue. He's not required to release them, and federal law protects them except to "authorized agencies".
Now, Congress is certainly an "authorized agency", but federal law prohibits them from disclosing any information about returns.
It could get very interesting.
that's a possibility. he could resign before they get released by the Mueller investigation.
you're right. not even to save his criminal offspring from collecting forks in a NY prison.
his sons and daughters will be part of the leverage to force Trumpp to resign
