Brand New President Trump Ad: Walls Work
LMAO I love how Trump did this ad!
Acosta mocked for border reporting: ‘Exactly – walls work!’
CNN Chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta was mocked on social media after his report from a steel wall from the border “didn’t show anything resembling a national emergency” in the area of the border that the president will be visiting Thursday in McAllen, Texas.
“I found some steel slats down on the border,” wrote Acosta on Twitter. “But I don’t see anything resembling a national emergency situation.. at least not in the McAllen, Texas, area of the border where Trump will be today.”
Republican lawmakers and media members, including President Trump, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) and former CNN political analyst Peter Hamby took to Twitter to suggest Acosta was unknowingly making the president’s argument for funding from Congress to build a steel wall in order to stop what he calls a “humanitarian crisis” at the border.
“Dear Diary…” President Trump mockingly tweeted when sharing Acosta’s report.
“Exactly — Walls work!” wrote Vice President Pence’s spokeswoman Alyssa Farah.
“[B]arriers work! Great job Jim!!!” posted White House spokesman Hogan Gidley.
