The following article, CNN’s Jim Acosta Rips Trump for Xenophobia After Labeling Coronavirus A ‘Foreign Virus’, was first published on Flag And Cross.
CNN’s Jim Acosta has been ripped apart by President Trump possibly more than any other “journalist” since he first took office. Of course, that’s because the activist masquerading as a reporter puts himself in a position to be bashed.
On Wednesday night, after Trump addressed the nation and banned travel from Europe to America for the next 30 days, Acosta blasted POTUS for saying something that was 100% factually accurate.
From Washington Examiner:
After President Trump announced a series of initiatives to combat the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, CNN anchor Jim Acosta speculated Trump’s address to the nation “smacked of xenophobia.”
As CNN anchor Chris Cuomo hosted a reaction panel to Trump’s Wednesday night Oval Office address on coronavirus, Acosta said the public will perceive the remarks as being xenophobic.

Aw, poor little jimmy. Has to continue “Trump bashing” to get his name back in print….
This is a ‘foreign virus’ as it is not your average corona virus, it is a man made variant called COVID-19, which was stored in a Lab about 20 miles from Wuhan, China where the first outbreak occurred. It was either let out of this lab by accident or on purpose.
If Acosta was following the news he would know that this new strain of virus originated in China (foreign country) and was stored in a lab.
