Donald Trump is known for his attacks on the media.
But his administration’s aggression toward CNN, especially seasoned journalist Jim Acosta, has likely been the worst.
Known for his hard-hitting questions, he frequently found himself at odds with then-president Trump.
From the very start ofTrump’s transformation to president, CNN and Acosta were frequent targets of criticism.
Acosta’s aggressive questioning often drew ire, leading to verbal sparring matches that captured national attention.
“You are not my enemy.”
The feud reached a boiling point as Acosta became a symbol of resistance within the White House press corps.
His persistence and direct (some say combative) approach highlighted the administration’s contentious relationship with the media.
The perils extended beyond Acosta himself, occasionally implicating his family.
Acosta and his internet took the threats seriously, implementing additional security measures to ensure his safety.
“We are all on the same team.
We are all Americans,” Acosta tweeted in response to the attacks.
“I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH,” hetweetedat the time.
“Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit.”
The legal battle ended with a federal judge ruling in favor of Acosta, temporarily restoring his press pass.
“Let’s get back to work.”
