CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta is chuffed that he didn’t get to ask any questions at Monday’s White House press briefing.
Acosta was so upset about not getting any airtime that he sarcastically tweeted how “bizarre” it is that the White House didn’t call on him.
“Gosh it’s so bizarre how @PressSec keeps avoiding questions from CNN #cantstandtheheat,” Acosta tweeted.

It’s really shocking that White House press secretary Sarah Sanders wouldn’t call on Acosta when he makes such brilliant points, such as not understanding that it takes 60 votes to pass a continuing resolution in the Senate or questioning if the White House doctor is withholding information about President Trump’s health.

Plus, if Acosta truly believes in the free press, why doesn’t he want the other White House correspondents to get a turn asking questions?
Poor guy is probably still reeling from the time Sanders told him that if Trump watched CNN “your numbers would be higher.” (RELATED: Sarah Sanders Just Burned CNN So Bad The Briefing Room Let Out An Audible Gasp)
