Here's A Sample of What Jim Acosta Has To Put Up With At Trump Rallies.

Most of the clips I've seen just show Acosta's face, or the view from the stage. Somebody compiled the other angles, and it's pretty scary.

The video poster then adds a clip onto the end, showing Hannity JUSTIFYING the mob's treatment of Acosta because he is 'rude' and 'biased.' Hannity then shows a bunch of clips that supposedly show Acosta being rude and/or biased, but if that's the worst he could find, it only proves Acosta is incredibly fair and professional. I wish Trump would show just ONE TENTH the fairness, professionalism, and otherwise ADULT BEHAVIOR that Acosta shows.



So, Hannity thinks all this bullying of Jim Acosta is 'justified' does he? I wonder if he felt that way during the TEN LOUSY SECONDS that he walked in Jim Acosta's shoes? (Blast from the past. Ron Paul supporters chase Hannity down the street, accusing him of being biased.)

One of these nuts on the right is going to harm Jim or his colleagues in the media.

When Trump was in Britain, and refused to take a question from Acosta (saying CNN wasn't a real news network), and then gave the question to Roberts from Faux News, and Roberts not only TOOK the question, but THANKED Trump for giving it to him.

Seriously, what a P.O.S. The ENTIRE WH Press Corps should have walked out, and left Roberts there alone.

..."I'm a conservative. Any conservative who advocates violence is no friend of mine." And I immediately thought of the half dozen times Trump DIRECTLY told his crowd to "kick the crap out of him" or "I'd like to punch him in the face."

Still, Hannity is correct. Trump isn't technically his 'friend.' Trump is Hannity's dominatrix.
