CNN's Jim Acosta Says What We're All Thinking About Sean Hannity, and Hannity Just Responded

CNN's Jim Acosta Says What We're All Thinking About Sean Hannity, and Hannity Just Responded

Stay classy.

CNN's Jim Acosta and Fox News's Sean Hannity's budding Twitter war heated up Wednesday night after Acosta dragged Hannity for being "just a talk show host, not a journalist."

Acosta is CNN's Senior White House Correspondent and has drawn the ire of the president for asking tough questions and not backing down in his pursuit of the truth.


Hannity is a right-wing entertainer who has suggested that Trump should revoke the press credentials of major news organizations.

Acosta tweeted that Hannity's constant defense of President Donald Trump, and his relentless attacks on the free press, makes Hannity a "propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night."

Acosta reminded Hannity and the world that the Fox News conservative once admitted: "he's just a talk show host, not a journalist."

"But he’s injecting poison into the nation’s political bloodstream," Acosta wrote of Hannity, "warping public attitudes about the press." Acosta concluded that he's "confident in the long run the truth will prevail."

Hannity fired back Wednesday evening, tweeting to "Jimmy" that he doesn't care about Acosta's feelings and referring to his career as a journalist as "lying bullshit."

Acosta was heckled during a campaign rally headlined by Trump in Florida Tuesday night by a horde of rowdy Trump fans. Rallying cries of boos, people shouting “traitor,” and “you’re a liar” were lobbed at Acosta. "CNN sucks" was also shouted at Acosta as he reported on the event.

Twitter wasn't having it with Hannity's less-than-courteous response.

One person accused Hannity of being the "Joseph Goebbels of this administration." Oh please, he wishes.

Speaking of "lying bullshit..."

"Irony truly escapes Sean Hannity," who works for an "entertainment network."

We're not done yet.

"At least Jim isn't client #3," one user joked, poking fun at the relationship between Hannity and Trump's former lawyer and fixer, Michael Cohen. Hannity was revealed to be a client of Cohen's in April after federal agents raided Cohen's New York City home and office.

Another implied that Hannity is a doofus.

Then there's this gem from Trump in 2016.

There's always a tweet.

Not to mention Hannity's hypocrisy.

We know whose feelings are hurt, and they're not Acosta's.

Be best, Sean.

Newsmax Host Epically Blasted For His Hypocrisy After Defending Trump's Profane Easter Tweet

Newsmax host Greg Kelly defended President Donald Trump's use of profanity in his Easter morning threat to Iran, prompting critics to resurface one of his own past tweets calling for a ban on use of the f-word.

Trump lashed out at Iran amid growing concerns about tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage at the entrance to the Persian Gulf that carries roughly 20% of the world’s oil supply. Recently, Iran has struck several vessels in the area and warned ships against entering the passage, effectively halting traffic through one of the world’s most crucial energy routes.

MAGA Politicians Called Out After Falling For AI-Generated Photo Of U.S. Airmen Rescue In Iran

At least two Republican politicians are facing criticism after they fell for a clearly A.I.-generated photo of the rescue of two U.S. airmen whose fighter jet went down in Iran over the weekend.

U.S. special forces rescued the second crew member of an F-15 fighter jet shot down over Iran, according to three U.S. officials cited by Axios. The crew member, a weapons systems officer, was wounded after ejecting from the aircraft Friday but was able to walk and evaded capture in the mountains for more than a day.
