Well, it’s par for the course for CNN. White House Correspondent Jim Acosta decided to hurl questions at President Trump and North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un during their historic summit in Singapore. Acosta directly questions Kim, asking him if he was going to get rid of his nuclear weapons (via Real Clear Politics):
CNN's Jim Acosta proved to be a nuisance each time President Trump and Kim Jong-un made public appearances during their Singapore summit on Tuesday.
"Mr. Kim, will you give up your nuclear weapons sir?" Acosta shouted when the two made their initial solo appearance to the press.
"I don't think Kim Jong-un is used to the voice of Jim Acosta of CNN on a regular basis," MSNBC's Brian Williams cracked.
He was reportedly caught in a hot mic moment saying, “Hey if they're not going to let me in the f*cking meeting, that's what happens.”
This isn’t the first time Acosta has blurted out questions. At a press sprayfor the reauthorization of the National Defense Authorization Act back in December of 2017, the CNN reporter asked the president what he meant by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) being willing to do anything for campaign contributions, which some took as sexist; Trump has pretty much said the exact same thingto other politicians, both male and female. Acosta was scolded since this event was one in which no questions were to be asked.
