CNN’s crybaby Jim Acosta rage quits on air and Trump is here for it!

by

It’s official.

Jim Acosta parted ways with CNN and in a parting shot on the air, the defiant former White House reporter declared he would not “give into the lies”  or “bow down to a tyrant.” The object of his scorn, President Donald Trump, posted a scorching message on social media where he celebrated the “good news” of Acosta’s impending departure and slammed the “major sleazebag.”

“I just wanted to end today’s show by thanking all of the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at this network,” Acosta said on “CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta.”

“You may have seen some reports about me and the show, and after giving all of this some careful consideration and weighing in alternative timeslots CNN offered me, I’ve decided to move on. I am grateful to CNN for the nearly 18 years I’ve spent here doing the news,” he continued, referring to reports that CNN CEO Mark Thompson made sweeping changes at the network and bumped Acosta out of his show and timeslot.

“People often ask me if the highlight of my career at CNN was at the White House covering Donald Trump,” he continued. “Actually, no. That moment came here when I covered former President Barack Obama’s trip to Cuba in 2016 and had the chance to question the dictator there, Raul Castro, about the island’s political prisoners.”

“As the son of a Cuban refugee, I took home this lesson: It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant,” Acosta declared, vowing he would continue to “old power to account.”

“One final message – don’t give into the lies. Don’t give into the fear. Hold onto the truth, and to hope. Even if you have to get out your phone, record that message. I will not give into the lies. I will not give into the fear. Post it on your social media, so people can hear from you, too,” he said as he wrapped up.

“I’ll have more to say about my plans in the coming days. But until then, I want to thank all of you for tuning in. It has been an honor to be welcomed into your home for all these years,” he told viewers.

Acosta, who joined CNN in 2007, became a thorn in the side of the first Trump administration as he regularly sparred with the president with over-dramatic antics. Trump welcomed the news that Acosta was being relegated to a midnight hour timeslot and was considering quitting.

“Wow, really good news! Jim Acosta, one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history, a major sleazebag, has been relegated by CNN Fake News to the Midnight hour, ‘Death Valley,’ because of extraordinarily BAD RATINGS (and no talent!),” Trump wrote.

“Word is that he wants to QUIT, and that would be even better. Jim is a major loser who will fail no matter where he ends up. Good luck Jim,” the president concluded.

“Jim has had a long, distinguished nearly 20-year career at CNN, with a track record of standing up to authority, for the first amendment and for our journalistic freedoms. We want to thank him for the dedication and commitment he’s brought to his reporting and wish him the very best in the future,” a CNN spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
