Attendees at a rally for President Donald Trump swarmed behind CNN reporter Jim Acosta during his live shot on Tuesday, yelling 'liar,' 'tell the truth,' and 'CNN sucks' as the crowd egged them on.

Trump has not yet arrived at the Florida State Fairgrounds Expo Hall where supporters are filling the building and the media are awaiting his arrival.

A crowd of about 50 came up to the press area when they saw Acosta on the risers for his live shot to wave signs supporting Trump and yell 'CNN sucks' and 'Trump, Trump, Trump.'

Some had written 'CNN sucks' with markers on 'Make America Great Again' signs that they waved to the cameras.

Rows of metal barriers separate the press from the crowd so they could not reach the reporter.

Acosta calmly completed his shot and then turned to talk to the crowd when he was done.

Later in the evening, when he was doing another shot, the entire auditorium screamed 'CNN sucks, CNN sucks, CNN sucks' - interrupting the Florida state officials who were speaking ahead of Trump's arrival....

“You know this’ll be depicted as worse than anything antifa or the Ferguson rioters ever did.”

it really matters not what Trump or we his supporters do or say, it’s always going to be depicted badly. period. that’s why we should never allow our actions or words to be governed by fear of how the leftist fake stream enemedia may depict us ... patriots should never fear telling the truth nor how we tell it ...

It’s time to go Huck Finn/Little Rascals on CNN and keep a supply of overripe tomatoes handy for chucking at paid liars.

“It’s exactly what CNN wants to make us look as nutty as their fellow leftists.”

who gives a rat’s ass what CNN does ... they’re ratings are so low that even the Food Channel has more viewers ... patriots should NEVER, EVER allow our actions and words to be governed by the leftist fake stream enemedia. period.

Yep. It’s exactly what CNN wants to make us look as nutty as their fellow leftists.

Nonsense. The only people who think that drank the kook-aid, already.

Getting under the talking heads skin is a worthy endeavor.

Never wrestle with pigs. All you get is filthy and the pigs like it.

I've always appreciated that axiom.

But while I don't believe that we should always fall into the 'eye for an eye' way of thinking, we do seem to be in a situation of 'sauce for the goose v. sauce for the gander'.

They could stand near him and yell question at him. Mr Acosta, why do you yell questions at the president at inappropriate times? Mr Acosta, why do you yell at the president? Mr Acosta, why do you keep yelling after the president says no to you?

Trump should tweet, “every day, a couple of million leftists say I suck and I just laugh. 50 Conservatives “says CNN sucks and Accosta whines like a little boy who identifies as a little girl.”

..., yelling 'liar,' 'tell the truth,' and 'CNN sucks'...

Tell the truth??? Citizens wanting a media outlet to be honest is nothing but an attack on the very fabric of our democracy!

What do we do after Potus-Trump? Seriously I am watching the rally now, and it is like steak, delicious fat think prime of primo steak Red Meat for my I am sick of both side of the isle swamp you all suck heart. We will need someone that is part comedian, leader, and political genius.

It will be like Reagan... Trump wins big in 2020, the GOP serves up a one-termer (likely Pence) in 2024, the disillusioned Right stays home in 2028 when Pence can't live up to Trump and the Dems get some young charmer into office again.

Acosta is a propagandist for The Swamp and American communism. I don’t give a flying f**k what was said to that idiot by the crowd in Tampa! He deserves all of it and then some!

Jim Acosta is eating it up, which means he’ll broadcast more rallies.

The Pence's are good Christian people, but frankly that ole' time politican's time has come and gone. We won't accept it after President Trump. I have been saying for a while, it won't be Pence. Frankly if he wasn't for the fact that he isn't an American Citizen via birth the prototypical model of the Post Trump Candidate is Peter Thiel. Now I know that will rankle a lot of FR's here via his life style but put that aside for a moment

My points are: He or She will have to be from the Private Sector, Doesn't need the job, they may not have to be so charismatic, but we want someone who will get something done, not a kick the can down the road Uniparty Todie, no Bull $h!+ artist need apply.

He is getting older, and won't want it, but the Alan Mulally or even the mold of Bob Lutz come to mind, get-er done types that people get behind, both men, were big shoes to fill once they left their organizations they were in charge of.

It is going to hard to find this person for sure...

Maybe.

Pence is no Bush, and the Progressive Media does not have the clout they did in ‘92 and ‘96.

I enjoyed it when Reagan was president, but Trump is something else, a Republican who really fights back, with humor, and a flair. May never see his likes again.

I agree with you two! He's only 1.7 years in and I miss him already in seven years from now!!!
