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.”

Good.

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

Nobody believes CNN anymore, but hardcore leftists. They are a joke among us normal “deplorables”.

“Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy.”

I don’t twit but if I did I would say, Hey Acosta, trying to pretend you are a Rather or a Donaldson? Trying to make your fame here? They were losers and so are you.

***The press is not the enemy***

You are correct Jim Acosta, but you ARE the enemy because you are not the press, just a tool of the Globalist DNC who wants to eliminate America.

Doesn’t AT&T own CNN? CNN should get rid of its Democratic Socialist slant and simply report the news.

Can’t CNN with all its money find someone more objective than Acosta? His eyes are full of hate. He is not a happy camper!

He still doesn’t get it - it’s the MEDIA that is whipping things up causing the left to attack people. Those on the right are shouting? Waving a sign? Flipping you off? Pablum in comparison to the violence directed at Trump supporters every single day across America.

Suck it up, Jim, it’s just the people singing the song of angry men that’s reverberating in your little safe-space bubble. Maybe you should listen instead of cowering on twitter like a victim.

I'm just typing this so Ill have a link to this cartoon when I get back home. I love this, I can make it better, imagine Jim Acosta standing under the logo with his back to P.O.T.U.S. Trump, Saying I can feel the Global Warming, I know Global Warming is real.

P.O.T.U.S. Trump, I'm not tired of winning.

Jim Acosta, showing the face of a broken narrative.

Pompeo has the energy and gravitas to be President. He’s getting invaluable training working with Trump.

He’s very effective and eloquent in Congressional hearings.

Strong, charming, top of his class at West Point.
