'Crock of sh**': Acosta CALLS OUT this Trump, MAGA double standard - The Best People - Nicolle Wallace



Jim Acosta held Donald Trump to account for years as a CNN White House correspondent and anchor. He’s still calling it like he sees it. Jim joins Nicolle Wallace for a lively discussion about the Trump era and he is not holding back.

Acosta calls the 2020 election “a terrible national mistake,” and tells Nicolle that “now we're on the dark side of the moon and the question becomes, can we get out of this on the other side?” They touch on Trump’s financial schemes, the public framing of Hunter Biden’s struggle with addiction and Acosta’s own experiences covering Trump across his two terms — noting that this is “not the same Donald Trump I covered” in 2016.

Acosta also addresses his departure from CNN and why he's worried the network could be "murdered" with a possible new boss.
