Former Bush Press Secretary Owns CNN Reporter on Twitter

Jim Acosta on Twitter

Isn’t it a “fake news conference” to take a question from a reporter who is essentially an ally of the White House? https://t.co/vD7DgAZXIv

Acosta has clearly forgotten about the Obama years. But former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer (under George W. Bush) didn’t let him get away with it.

Jim – care to guess how many questions I took from reporters who went on to join the Obama WH?? https://t.co/q57Pea4L7S

And Fleisher roasted Acosta.

@Acosta What’s worse? Calling on a “friendly” reporter or hiring a couple dozen of them??
