CNN’s Jim Acosta shouted a policy question at President Donald Trump while he was participating in the White House Easter Egg Roll Monday. Now, Trump’s 2020 campaign manager is calling for Acosta’s credentials.
After officiating the Easter egg roll, president Trump moved to a table to color pictures with First Lady Melania, his son Barron and approximately a dozen other children.
Some of President Trump’s grandchildren also participated.
While the president was coloring and interacting with the children, CNN’s Jim Acosta shouted a policy question at him.
“What about the DACA kids?” Acosta shouted at POUTS. “Should they worry about what’s going to happen to them?”

Trump tweeted this weekend that a deal on DACA was not going forward and blamed congressional Democrats.
Trump responded to Acosta, saying “The Democrats have clearly let them down.” Trump turned back to coloring with the young children.
Jim Acosta just yelled at Trump while he was coloring with children at the WH Easter egg roll “What abou the DACA kids? Didn’t you kill DACA?”
Trump responded saying the Dems “Really let them down.”
Then Trump kept coloring.
Press Corp groaned.

Acosta has been called the “king of fake news” by Trump and is famous for interrupting all manner of White House events. Now, Trump’s 2020 campaign manager, Brad Parscale, has had enough.
“Maybe it is time for Jim Acosta to get a suspension for breaking protocol,” Parscale said on Twitter, “He continues to embarrass himself and CNN. Pull his credentials for each incident.”
