White House Rips Reporter For ‘Disgraceful’ Shot At President Trump originally appeared on The Spun.
The White House made it clear this week that any criticism towards President Donald Trump and his personal life won’t be tolerated.
During an episode of “The Contrarian” podcast with Jennifer Rubin, former CNN correspondent Jim Acosta commented on the ICE raids taking place in California. That eventually led to him taking a jab at Trump’s late first wife, Ivana.
Before marrying Trump in 1977, Ivana lived in Canada. Originally, she spent her days in Czechoslovakia. She passed away on July 14, 2022.
Though it seems incredibly wrong, Acosta felt comfortable dissing Ivana while on “The Contrarian” podcast.
“Where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties? Could somebody call ICE on the Trump golf course in Virginia? You’re telling me there’s nobody in there that is undocumented or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their paperwork. Give me a break,” Acosta said.
“How many immigrants has he married? He’s got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn’t she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that? Immigrants always doing the jobs that Americans don’t want to do!”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt wasted no time responding to Acosta’s comments.
“Jim Acosta is a disgraceful human being,” Leavitt told Fox News Digital.
Trump has not yet said anything about Acosta’s remarks. Earlier this year, he referred to the ex-CNN host as a “major loser” during a social media rant.
“Wow, really good news,” Trump wrote. “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 LOW RATINGS (and no talent!) 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!”
It wouldn’t shock us to see Trump call out Acosta in the coming days.
