KEN: People often wonder why so many conservatives laugh at people at CNN, like Jim Acosta or others. Here\u2019s why. Here\u2019s Rush.<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: “Jim Acosta: ‘Having the President Whip People Up at Rally After Rally Is the Most Depressing Thing I\u2019ve Seen as a Journalist.'” This is at the Citizen CNN conference yesterday in New York City.<\/p>\n

\"\"ACOSTA: If you want to ask me what makes me the most depressed about my job, it\u2019s covering the rallies. And it gets to the larger point of what it\u2019s like covering the president of the United States, in — in particular Donald Trump. In many ways, the danger is not what Trump is doing to America. The danger is how America is changing under Trump.<\/p>\n

And I never thought I would see the day where I would go to a political rally — and, you know, people would give you a hard time — you know, people yelled at me at Hillary Clinton rallies during the 2008 campaign. But at rally after rally after rally, having the president of the United States whip people up into a frenzy and attack the press, to me, is the — the mo — most depressing thing that I\u2019ve ever witnessed as a journalist.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Man, oh, man. Where has this guy been? (summary) “To see Trump whipping people up at rally after rally and having people get mad at me as a journalist is the most depressing thing I\u2019ve seen as a journalist.” Jim, you can give it up. You got all kinds of stuff. You could go be a waiter. You obviously listen well. Ahem! Mr. Acosta, however, was not finished. Somebody needs to walk the guy back from the ledge here.<\/p>\n

ACOSTA: You have thousands and thousands of people who are willing to join in and do the same thing. Um, at the rally in Montana the other night, uh, when President Trump praised Greg Gianforte for body slamming Ben Jacobs, I remember looking over to the supporters in the crowd. And there was one guy, one young man who was doing these body slam moves. You know, and — and — and he and his buddies were all getting a good laugh out of it. And then he looked at me, and he goes like this, like, “I\u2019m gonna cut your throat.” And, you know, just… (stammering) I went up to him afterwards, over, and I talked to him about. And — and he was just sort of laughing about it. I — I — I guess he wasn\u2019t serious about it. But, to me, that\u2019s the Trump effect on America.<\/p>\n
