Jim Acosta Heckled During Live Shot by Trump Rallygoers Booing and Shouting ‘CNN Sucks!’
CNN’s Jim Acosta got heckled again by attendees of President Donald Trump‘s Tampa rally tonight.
As Acosta filed a live report from Tampa, people loudly shouted things like “CNN sucks!” in the background.
At one point Acosta told Wolf Blitzer, “You can hear there is a chorus of boos and other chants from this Trump crowd here… saying things like ‘CNN sucks,’ ‘go home,’ and ‘fake news.’ Wolf, obviously all of things are false. We’re staying right here. We’re going to do our job and report on this rally to all of our viewers tonight.”
