Former Florida governor and failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush has weighed in on Twitter about the press conference controversy between President Trump and hack Jim Acosta. His comment will remind his fellow Republicans why they didn’t support him as President. He took Acosta’s side.
Bush had 19,000 likes on his Tweet blasting President Trump for reacting to CNN’s hack reporter Jim Acosta.
Jeb tweeted: The media is not the enemy of the people. The freedom of the press is protected by the Constitution. Presidents never enjoy pointed questions from the press, but President Trump should respect their right to ask them and respect Americans enough to answer them.
First of all, Bush repeated that lie about the President calling the media the “enemy of the people”. Then, secondly, he went on to scold the President for not showing reporters and Americans due respect. Freedom of the press doesn’t mean they get to abuse the President and his staff.

Jeb is not representing this fairly. Perhaps he didn’t watch the full clip. It’s also possible he’s so blinded by hate for the President — who dubbed him low energy Jeb — that he can’t think straight.
We should all be very grateful Jeb didn’t win the presidency. He would have let everyone walk all over him and these Democrats and media people are vipers.
Acosta responded on Bush’s thread, “Thank you Mr. Bush.”
Jim Acosta is a bully and very abusive to Sarah Sanders. It’s not right. Trump did nothing wrong in Acosta’s case. There are several other reporters who are asking to be exiled.
That is why he was “blown away”…he is as stupidly ignorant as the mainstream media he is “bellying up” to…do not listen, do not read and respond to what they THINK they heard/saw. At no time has anyone, including myself, ever referred to “the media” as the enemy of the people…but to the mainstream “fake” corrupted and biased media as being thus AND they ARE!!!
It looks like Fox and Newsmax are “claiming” the video Sarah posted is “fake” or “doctored”. I wrote Newsmax and let them know they are now another network I will no longer watch. I no longer put up with disreputable news networks.
All of the Bush clan are really Progressives, thank God he is not our president.
He was supposed to be!!! It was the “Republicans” turn at the helm. The “loser” was a last ditch all out effort by the political elite and their eunuch lackeys in the mainstream fake media to “save the day” when the “red headed idiot”, as they termed the now President, absolutely blew Jeb out of the race, but good!!! Luckily for “conservative” Republicans, Trump actually adopted/forced himself on their party…the RINO’s were loath to accept. Pay attention to the little things…notice how Jimmy, Geo W. Sr., Sly Willie, Geo. W. Jr., and Barry ALL are ‘palsy walsy’ and ‘united’ in their opposition to the President…and the “loser” is always close at hand…and the mainstream fake media keeps bolstering the seditious muslim leader of the seditious Shadow Government…”little things mean a lot” and actually belie the “fake headliners”…
Presidential questions from the press…something Lil’ Jebbie will never know.
He does have some taco bowls to pass out on the border as an act of love.
There is a common tactic among quite a few in that W.H. press corps. As it was with Acosta, many reporters will just go on and on with questions and will NOT submit when their time is up, to the point of having to be scolded down to stop. It has become such a pattern among those reporters that I am now believing it is intentional in order to create an “outrage” story. It is just another form of manufactured news. So, it’s Not that they want more questions but rather to create a ruckus. In this case Acosta was given the opportunity for more than half a dozen questions and STILL kept going. It’s ALL about wanting that optic.
