President Donald Trump ripped CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta on Wednesday, calling him a “terrible person” to his face after the journalist repeatedly questioned him in an East Room press conference the day after the midterm elections.
“CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN,” the president said as Acosta stammered. “The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible. The way you treat other people are horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way.”
The moment came after a series of tough questions about the migrant caravan, which Trump frequently spoke about in the days before the midterms.
