Jim Acosta says voters too stupid to grasp Trump ‘act’: ‘Their elevator might not hit all floors’



Oh yea, this should go over well...

Quote:Reporter Jim Acosta says too many Americans can’t see through President Trump’s “act” because they “don’t have all their faculties.”

CNN’s chief White House correspondent and network colleague April Ryan sat down with Variety this week to discuss reporting on the White House in an era of “fake news” accusations. The network duo expressed concern that Mr. Trump and his rhetorical “tentacles” will cause “anarchy” around the globe.

“Fake news, by the president saying this, is not just a simply or cute little statement for some,” Ms. Ryan said in a taped interview published Tuesday. “This has tentacles that is reaching overseas. I’ve heard from European leaders who are saying it can really destabilize democracies. They are very concerned about this fake news issue. Think about it. When you are in a country and your citizenry thinks that you’re fake, thinks that what the news is saying is fake, there can be anarchy some kind of way. It causes a destabilization of democracies. There’s tentacles to what this president is saying. … We are a part of the pillars of this nation.”

Mr. Acosta then lamented what he perceives as a large-scale intellectual void afflicting the population.

“The problem is that people around the country don’t know it’s an act,” the reporter said. “They’re not in on the act, and they take what he says very seriously, and they take attacks from [former White House press secretary] Sean Spicer and Sarah Sanders and what they do to us on a daily basis very seriously. They don’t have all their faculties in some cases — their elevator might not hit all floors. My concern is that a journalist is going to be hurt one of these days.”

Mr. Costa also cited his support for daily White House press briefings, which he says expose actual “lies” by the administration.

Well, he is an American. Good for him having that level of self awareness.

Jim Acosta believes his don't stink

Attitudes like his are why Trump won

The media has long been complicit in leftwing violence against the right and yet then insists that it should be spared even any criticism, because to even criticize it is to attack the foundations of democracy by "chilling speech" and concerns that "a journalist is going to be hurt one of these days.”

Can you hear my small violin, Jimbo?

Definately not fake news

Alt-left journalists are so deep in their fraud at this point, they can never just up and admit it. They would never be trusted or work again. At least now, they have an (albeit ever-shrinking) core base of unhinged lunatics they can shovel their garbage onto and have it believed.

So, we are seeing and are going to continue to see some real doozies from them in attempt to justify this past 2 years of nonsense. They will double down to levels that shouldn't even be possible.

Elevator doesn't hit all floors? How does a supposed journalist eff up a simple metaphor?

Idiot

You forgot. He doesn't have all his faculties. And if his elevator is hitting some floors, his facilities aren't in very good shape either.

I totally agree. The news here is these “journalists” want us to suspend any disbelief of their stories, never ask questions and consider them infallible.
The disdain for us “deplorables” who do is crying and beetching as so well pointed out here.
Convince us with the truth or STFU.
Oh and forgive me but if you feel threatened, go buy a gun and get a CCP.

It’s not an issue of intelligence, IMO. It’s an issue of rationality.

I mean, we’ve had one side show undying love for Obama and another show undying love for Trump. Neither are great indicators of an rational people.

Come on. There are plenty of rational people on both sides in your example.

That's fair. I should've said, irrational about this particular issue.

He has a right to say whatever. But they STILL don't realize it's this kind of rhetoric that helped get Trump elected and very well may get him reelected.

"Some Americans are too stupid to vote the way we tell them to."

Sounds like a winning formula for CNN.

There are only a limited number who have expressed undying love for the Donald, indicating there are a lot more rational Republicans than Democrats.

CNN's Jim Acosta claims he was not mocking Trump supporters when he said ‘their elevator might not hit all floors’

As I said, this would go over real well. Now trying to deny his own deplorable statements.

Quote:CNN star reporter Jim Acosta is doing damage control after he was accused of taking personal shots at Trump supporters in a recent interview with Variety when he said “their elevator might not hit all floors.”

Acosta, who has emerged as a key member of the anti-Trump media, took to Twitter to defend his comments that he claims were “twisted by some outlets.”

Acosta made the comments during a panel discussion with fellow White House correspondents April Ryan and Ashley Parker about what it’s like to cover the Trump administration and the president’s habit of referring to certain media outlets as fake news.

“The problem is that people around the country don’t know it’s an act. They’re not in on the act and they take what he says very seriously. They take attacks from Sean Spicer and Sarah Sanders, and what they do to us on a daily basis, very seriously,” Acosta said. “They don’t have all their faculties and in some cases their elevator might not hit all floors.”

lol, well at least he didn't say his mouth was hacked. So, yeah, there's that.

I wonder if these elevators contained 3 baskets, each with different types of republican voters.
