Jim Acosta Seems Proud to Hear How Brave He Is to Interview a Fired WaPo Columnist – Twitchy

The last time we checked in with former CNN reporter Jim Acosta and his notorious anti-Trump diary entries he was pointing out who the real victims are after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Those victims are of course Jimmy Kimmel and… Jim Acosta.

Given these concerns, and in light of your recent unacceptable Bluesky posts, we cannot tolerate the risk your performance poses to The Post.

Kimmel might be off the air for now but at least Acosta and his guests are filling the comedy void far better.
