McEnany shot back, “The president is telling people the truth.”

Acosta interrupted, repeating that Trump said coronavirus “affects virtually nobody” and said he’s not telling the truth.

“Jim, but, you’re again taking the president out of context. I have his full quote here and you’re right that he was referring to young people. He said this,” McEnany said before Acosta interrupted again.

“I’m not taking it out of context,” the CNN reporter said.

“You are taking it out of context because you’re making an assertion that he’s not giving critical information when, in fact, he is and I will underscore exactly what he said,” McEnany said. “He said this, ‘You know, in some states thousands of people, and they’ve had nobody young, below the age of 18 like nobody....

Why are such people allowed to go to the WH and insult the President to his face?

I can’t understand why they don’t just ignore him. That would be the best way to deal with the punk.

Acosta is a third rate intellect pretending he has a clue. Met lots like him in the corporate world over the years. All posers with nothing to back it up.

Kinda like most of our DC politicians...:)
