Congress was in the room, members of Congress were in the room with the president last week, seemed to be a fairly productive meeting, and the whole process got blown up,\u201d Acosta said. \u201cIt seems like the whole process was blown up by the president\u2019s comment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mulvaney tried to respond as Acosta spoke over him for a few seconds. The OMB director eventually stated that Democrats want Trump to be blamed for the shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is purely an attempt by the Senate Democrats, led by Mr. Schumer &#8212; that\u2019s why we call it the Schumer Shutdown\u00a0 &#8212; in order to try and get a shutdown they think this president gets blamed for,\u201d Mulvaney\u00a0said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Fake News&#39; Jim Acosta tries to be smart with OMB Director Mick Mulvaney, gets hilariously shutdown. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/PressBriefing?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#PressBriefing<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SchumerShutdown?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SchumerShutdown<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/FridayFeeling?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#FridayFeeling<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sNlMB3WVg9\">pic.twitter.com\/sNlMB3WVg9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; The Columbia Bugle \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@ColumbiaBugle) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ColumbiaBugle\/status\/954393571674636289?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Conservative commentator Dana Loesch\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/DLoesch\/status\/954389409079726082\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweeted that Acosta<\/a>\u00a0\u201cjust embarrassed himself\u201d shortly after the exchange.

Acosta has made a habit of grandstanding and interrupting when Trump and his surrogates are available to the media.\u00a0On Tuesday, Acosta yelled, \u201cMr. President,\u201d three times before finally getting Trump\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you say that you want more people to come in from Norway? Did you say that you wanted more people from Norway? Is that true Mr. President?\u201d Acosta desperately shouted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want them to come in from everywhere\u2026 everywhere. Thank you very much everybody,\u201d Trump responded as Acosta continued to ask condescending questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust Caucasian or white countries, sir? Or do you want people to come in from other parts of the world\u2026 people of color,\u201d Acosta roared.<\/p>\n<p>Trump then pointed directly at Acosta and simply said, \u201cOut!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acosta has been among the most outspoken critics of President Trump and is a significant part of CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker\u2019s apparent anti-Trump programming strategy. Trump has famously dubbed CNN \u201cfake news\u201d and pointed directly at Acosta and called him by the disparaging moniker in the past.<\/p>\n<p>Last December, Acosta was shut down by White House Press Secretary Sarah\u00a0Sanders when the liberal reporter tried to hijack a press briefing. Acosta told Sanders that journalists make \u201chonest mistakes\u201d but that doesn\u2019t make them \u201cfake news\u201d before attempting a question. Sanders quickly cut him off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen journalists make honest mistakes, they should own up to them. Sometimes, and a lot of times, you don\u2019t,\u201d Sanders said as Acosta tried to interrupt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, I\u2019m not finished,\u201d she said. \u201cThere is a very big difference between making honest mistakes and purposefully misleading the American people&#8230; you cannot say it\u2019s an honest mistake when you\u2019re purposely putting out information you know is false.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acosta has also gotten into combative arguments with other members of the administration including Senior Policy Adviser Stephen Miller and former Press Secretary Sean Spicer.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/2018\/01\/19\/cnn-star-jim-acosta-scolded-by-mick-mulvaney-amid-schumer-shutdown-briefing.html\">http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/2018\/01\/19\/cnn-star-jim-acosta-scolded-by-mick-mulvaney-amid-schumer-shutdown-briefing.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN &#8216;star&#8217; Jim Acosta scolded by Mick Mulvaney amid &#8220;Schumer Shutdown&#8221; briefing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-92844","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92844","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=92844"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92844\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=92844"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=92844"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=92844"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
