CNN reporter Jim Acosta’s life must be totally miserable now that President Trump is no longer in the White House. As a result, Jimmy has been deprived of the attention that he was once showered with.
On Wednesday, as the nation mourned the death of conservative talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh, Acosta again engaged in the shameful antics that have become his trademark.
Following an interview of Trump by Fox News host Sean Hannity in which the now-former POTUS paid tribute to Rush’s longtime contributions to the conservative cause, the obsessed Acosta took to his Twitter feed to ask why the topic of the so-called “insurrection” at the Capitol didn’t come up.
Look below:
Fox News had Trump on but didn't ask him about the insurrection he caused.

Dear Diary:
“Fox News had Trump on but didn’t ask him about the insurrection he caused.”
He didn’t stop there.
Trump repeating his election lies as he pays tribute to Limbaugh on Fox: "You don't know how angry this country is… We should have had it."

The tweets had a desperate “look at me” appearance for a man whose rude outbursts made him into a resistance hero but he has now sadly discovered that his fame was wholly dependent on Trump.
Acosta’s outburst resulted in much scorn and mockery being rained down on him by Twitter:
You have an addiction to Trump that isn't healthy, Jim. https://t.co/LNkc4t46gt

Jim Acosta is the type of guy who would see an old lady crossing the road and stand idly by waiting for her to be hit by a car and then report it as an incident

Jim’s the kind of guy who would try selling insurance at a funeral.

@CNN@andersoncooper had #Biden for over an hour last night and didn’t ask him about: #Cuomo, the Keystone Pipeline, the”resignation” of his deputy press secretary, etc. Instead he was asked about how he likes the freaking White House. Shut up, @Acosta. You jackass. https://t.co/pfeMSvzLvh

This is bad, even for you @Acosta. Arguing from a conclusion, not towards one. Guilty even though proven innocent. And you keep pushing the “insurrection” talking point as fact. You are not only fake news. You are pure partisan propaganda. https://t.co/nVJBuqhTv3

Jim Acosta is more responsible for the capitol riot than Trump. https://t.co/kisPPnxKbF

Now that his gig as CNN’s chief White House pest has ended, Acosta will be moved into an anchor role for the self-proclaimed “most-trusted name in news” on “CNN’s Newsroom” that airs from 3-6 pm ET on Saturday and Sunday; hardly a time slot that’s likely to draw many viewers.
But he will always have Twitter.
