CNN Doofus Jim Acosta Gets Called Out for Trying to Mock Pete Hegseth’s Mom (VIDEO)

In the world of our toxic liberal media, there is perhaps no one dumber and who enjoys an unearned sense of self-esteem, than Jim Acosta of CNN.

During a recent segment on the little watched network, Acosta tried to mock Pete Hegseth and specifically Hegseth’s mother because she called a few senators to make a case for her son.

The worst part of this is that it was the liberal media that dragged Hegseth’s mom into this situation in the first place. The New York Times got their hands on some years-old emails from her and published them.

Then, when she tries to defend her son, this idiot on CNN mocks her for it.

Luckily, Republican strategist Shermichael Singleton was there to call out Acosta over this.

Transcript via Townhall:

Singleton: “Well, I mean, I think his mother is out there because some outlets have printed and reported on a previous email she sent several years ago — I think seven years ago, to be exact and she feels the need and I think she should, to come out and clarify what was going on between her, her son, and their family at that particular time. I think she did an outstanding job on Fox News and again, friends of mine that I have who actually work for Republican senators, and I’ve been talking to and texting with a lot of them to just understand where things appear to be moving from their perspective. These things are absolutely making a difference and I’ll just add quickly — Acosta: “But, I guess — I guess — I’m — you know —” Singleton: “I understand allegations have been made.”

Acosta: “— if — if you’re having to have your mother call senators —”

Singleton: “People should have the right to defend themselves.”

Acosta: “I know, but Shermichael —”

Singleton: “Go ahead, Jim.”

Acosta: “— to have to have your mother call senators to — to get you cleared for secretary of defense right? I mean he — he goes out there with tattoos —”

Singleton: “— I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I mean, so I’ll give you an example. I’ve gone through the confirmation process before having worked for a former cabinet secretary and you’re going to have statements from the spouse, from siblings —”
