Jim Acosta Pays Big Time For What He Did To Trump... Its All Over This week, conservatives applauded Donald Trump for taking a stand against CNN reporter Jim Acosta by telling him his organization is fake news during a press conference. For the previous 24 hours, CNN had been reporting on a fake news story Buzzfeed published. The story alleged that Trump had made secret financial deals with Russia and had salacious encounters with prostitutes. Not surprisingly, the President-elect had finally had enough of their corruption. On Thursday, TMZ interview former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, asking him what he thought of Acostas behavior at the press conference. The reporter was an idiot, Gingrich responded. Trump pointed out he was an idiot. Most people in the country thought he was an idiot. I thought from Trumps standpoint it was fine. But Gingrich didnt stop there. Im hoping Spicer will simply ban Acosta for 60 days, like hockey where you bench somebody, he concluded. Acosta needs to be benched for a couple of weeks. Watch the clip below and tell us what you think. Do you agree with Gingrich?
