Now He’s Gone, CNN’s Jim Acosta Notes How Spicer ‘Was Raked Over the Coals Publicly’

Calling into CNN’s Inside Politics after news broke Friday afternoon Sean Spicer would resign from the position of White House press secretary, senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta trumpeted the reality that Spicer “was raked over the coals publicly” on Saturday Night Live and in the media (especially by people like Acosta).

“I talked to a source close to the White House just a few moments ago about all of this, and it sounds like there is a lot of turmoil going on behind the scenes in this press shop, in this communications shop,” Acosta began before noting how the President reportedly wanted Spicer to do the job of communications director while Anthony Scaramucci had the title.

Looking at Spicer’s tenure, Acosta flaunted “these battles” he and his colleagues have waged against Spicer and thus “the President just did not have confidence in Sean Spicer in that sort of TV job as the press secretary, which you know, John, from so many years covering all of this, the White House press secretary is a TV job.”

Amazing how the Trump Administration keeps stepping in it. The main stream media sees this as red meat and they are further embolden to try to smear, ridicule, besmirch and tarnish whoever Trump puts in to replace Spicer. A strange move to be sure, like waving the white surrender flag.

And Obama was promising being an outsider too. Virtually everyone was tired of the swamp then and I would estimate that at least 25% of those who did vote for him bought the bullcrap too. Being he was more of a libertarian bent, what would anyone expect, especially when the other choice was McCain.

But nobody here was ever idealistic either . . .

This job is for somebody who freakin’ thrives on attacks from idiotic leftists. There’s gotta be somebody with a “bring-it-on” attitude who’l take this job.

Acosta is mourning Spicer’s leaving for a reason. They beat up on Spicer at every conference, but now they realize there is an even fiercer tiger taking his place

Wish we knew. Will Scaramucci have any role in shutting down these leaks? Acosta didn’t say it was IN the WH. Said “close to” the WH, although could be inside.

And Shaq played for the Orlando Magic before he went over to the Lakers.

Sometimes a team CHANGE is a step UP... and results in a very successful future.
