Jim Acosta…
Does it get ANY worse than that hypocritical scumbag?
As we mentioned, Kim Kardashian visited the White House to talk to President Trump about prison reform and a potential pardon.
Acosta is losing his MIND about how inappropriate this is.
“She shouldn’t be here, talking about prison reform, it’s very nice that she is here but that’s not a serious thing to have happened here at the White House.”
Um… honey… we need to talk.
According to Fox News:
CNN star reporter Jim Acosta slammed Kim Kardashian West’s meeting with President Trump regarding prison reform on Wednesday as “not normal,” but media watchers quickly pointed out his hypocrisy by pointing to Acosta’s sitdown with singer John Legend’s in 2015 during President Obama’s administration to talk about the exact same subject.
Acosta took issue with Kardashian West and Trump reportedly discussing prison reform and the possible pardon for a great-grandmother who is serving a drug-related life prison sentence. However, in 2015 Acosta sat down with Legend for a lengthy feature on mass incarceration and the criminal justice system.
Yes. Really.
When Legend declared that prison is not the solution to every problem, Acosta nodded approvingly before noting that prison reform is “personal” for the musician. Legend and his celebrity wife, Chrissy Teigen, visited the White House several times during the Obama administration and once hinted that they had sex at an “Obama thing.” Acosta never objected to any of Legend’s meetings with Obama.
As if we needed ANY more proof that Chrissy is a classless hag… she bragged about boning in the White House.
Acosta’s cool with it.
People are noticing.
The double standard didn’t go unnoticed. Mediaite’s Joseph Wulfsohn penned a column headlined, “Jim Acosta Trashes Kim Kardashian’s Prison Reform Efforts As Not ‘Serious’ After Taking John Legend’s Seriously in 2015,” which examines the CNN star’s abrupt change in attitude.
“If your argument is that Legend is some intellect singer-songwriter and Kardashian is some air-headed reality star, that misses the point. Look at what they have in common; they’re A-list celebrities with huge followings who have sincere passions that involve politics and in this case, both are using their celebrity status on prison reform,” Wulfsohn wrote.
Wulfsohn gave Acosta the “benefit of the doubt” that sexism isn’t a factor in the reporter’s flip-flopped views on celebrities using their star power in an attempt to impact prison reform.
“Perhaps it’s his disdain for Donald Trump, a president who he essentially admitted doesn’t take seriously,” Wulfsohn added.
HMMM….
But yeah. He’s FAR from the only person who’s noticed:

Everyone knows the real reason people like @Acosta are mocking Kim Kardashian for working for the release of an unjustly imprisoned woman: because her husband praised Trump. Just be honest about that at least. They care more about the partisan angle than Alice Marie Johnson.

Lol why is cool for John Legend to do this but not Kim Kardashian?

Acosta: Absolutely outrageous Kim at the White House! Celebrities shouldn’t be commenting! John Legend, what’s your political take? 🙄

Jim Acosta slams Kardashian’s White House meeting saying she has no business being there but thinks John legend’s meeting with the president a year earlier on the same issue was appropriate and a good thing.
I DESPISE THE FAKE MEDIA!

@Acosta why was it wrong for the President to have KK at WH to discuss prison reform but ok for obama in your words to have Legend there on same topic? Why also ok for obama to have multiple entertainers at WH? And your not biased? Hmmm
