I’ve described CNN’s Jim Acosta in the past as more of an activist than a journalist.
And why wouldn’t I? Acosta beclowns himself repeatedly in his attempts at gotcha moments with President Donald Trump or Press Secretary Sarah Sanders.
It always ends in sadness…for Acosta anyway. For the rest of us, watching the smug White House correspondent fall figuratively flat on his face is somewhat refreshing.
On Wednesday, we got another such moment, when Acosta invited on a friend of Christine Blasey Ford’s, Samantha Guerry, to talk about Ford’s sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Acosta and Guerry discussed first how this is an “agonizing period” for Ford and that she didn’t want to be the center of attention. She went on to claim that Ford would be forced to appear in public “in front of thousands of cameras and people,” which is false as Republicans offered her a private testimony. As the Daily Wire notes, Acosta did not bother to correct her.
Finally getting down to the meat of the interview, Acosta asked Guerry if she had heard anything from Ford about Kavanaugh’s sexual assault. The answer was “no.”
As transcribed by the Daily Wire:
Guerry: Absolutely, it’s not the first time I’ve heard anything like that in terms of the community of women I know, and not regarding him but —
Acosta: Those sorts of things went on?
Guerry: A lot … You know, one of the things that’s surprising to me as I’ve gotten involved in this in the last couple days is how many women of my class have come forward to me in this last few days and said, “I had similar experiences in high school,” and this hits me very deeply and it’s very —
ACOSTA: Not with Brett Kavanaugh, but with other boys?
GUERRY: Not with Brett Kavanaugh. But with other boys in our community, and we all feel that if we were in her shoes, we’d want to be taken seriously as well.
Swing and a miss, Acosta.
The best that a friend of Ford’s can muster is that she’s heard of it happening in that school. Not Kavanaugh doing it, but that it happens.
At this point, Democrats are wasting time and embarrassing themselves. Few believe the accusations, even among the HuffPo audience.
Half the people screaming about this alleged awful groping are likely having
Crazy Monkey Hook-Up Sex with strangers they meet on the phone App. Tinder
No drinks, no dinner, no dance, - no relationships, just sex.
Furthermore, Washington DC is likely teeming with STD’s equal to one of the top party school college campuses.
How many hundreds of women has the Kennedy clan collectively groped? hundreds. Clinton? many dozen
I totally agree.
The feminists who think all sex is rape are being effective at convincing dumb liberal women that horny boys trying to grope is actually rape.
They might want to visit a few women who were actually assaulted and raped.
We, especially women, need to stop the assault on the men of this country. This could happen to any of the men in our lives.
The feminist who pretend all sex is rape had no problem dismissing Bill Clinton’s groping and exposing his penis to Paula Jones? the groping of Kathleen Wiley. The rape of Juanita Broadrick. Or the mutual probing of orifices with Lewinsky.
The double standard has never been so unequally applied.
All of Clinton’s, Kennedy’s and Keith Ellison’s victims are presumed to be democrats. From this we learn that women are disposable objects unless the accused is not a democrat.

OAN is the only excellent media that I know ..... especially shows such as 'The Tipping Point' and 'The Daily Ledger'.
Why are you denying Dr. Ford her truth?
(This seems to be a popular question lately).
I may believe her original truth from 2012 that she relayed to her therapist.
Unhappily groped by four boys attending elite schools. She could not remember whom, where, when, why, or how.
It will create a greater demand for robotic women. They are looking better all of the time.
What happened to free love of the 70’s?
Well, no, but it might bring on asking to see a woman’s voter registration before you ask for a date.
