On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “New Day,” CNN host and Chief Domestic Correspondent Jim Acosta stated that the report by Interior Department Inspector General Mark Greenblatt that Park Police did not clear protesters from Lafayette Park so then-President Donald Trump could do a photo op “sounded as if this inspector general was auditioning to become the inspector general at Mar-a-Lago.” And “is almost a whitewash of what occurred on June 1.”
Acosta said, “I certainly think it raises more questions than it answers. I mean, the IG report is saying that the Park Police cleared the park with the purpose of setting up this fence. Because obviously, the protesters needed to be moved back from this area where they were defacing statues and potentially pulling down the Andrew Jackson statue and so on. I was in the Rose Garden that day when Trump gave that speech and said I’m going to go to this special place, talking about the church, and you could hear the Park Police and other federal forces, D.C. police, clearing that park. They were violently pummeling protesters, tear-gassing protesters. Remember, at the time, the White House was telling us, oh, we didn’t use tear gas. The D.C. police were using tear gas.”

Hmmm...
How to fit Acosta and 500 other scumbag communists into a 5-lb bag??
As ashes?
Acosta is an attention whore that can't resist being the news instead of just reporting the news.
Peaceful protesters set multiple fires, try to burn down St. John’s Church:

I like the other Boo Hoo Girl.
True dat, and of course, no accountability required in the media.
Are we allowed to say “whitewash” on television?
Insufferable prick.
Bwahahaha!
Sure is.
Double plus ungood.
Democrats do photo ops all the time. Trump had every tight to SAFELY walk over to that church to make a statement, standing in front of it to show what’s at stake.
Awwww. They had their hopes pinned on getting President Trump indicted on something...ANYTHING!
Dear Diary, The truth really hurts.
Yeah, they were struggling to remain on the air so they could welcome back, Jeffery Toobin, their disgusting and perverted legal analyst colleague who got caught masturbating during a televised meeting seven months ago.
If what Toobin did, happened in any other corporation in America, he would have been fired immediately. And probably arrested for lewd, public exposure.
Instead, he's back on the air as if nothing happened.
“and so on.” - trying to burn down a church, violently assaulting numerous police officers with bricks and frozen water bottles, etc. was the “and so on” part of this.
Acosta doubling down on lying.
