Jim Acosta surrounded and harassed on air while reporting from CPAC

CNN’s Jim Acosta was surrounded and harassed by the crowd at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando. The crowd chanted “CNN sucks” at Mr Acosta after they surrounded him.

In another video of the confrontation, a woman can be heard screaming “get him! Get him!” A writer at the conservative magazine, The Federalist, livestreamed himself interrupting Mr Acosta and demanding to know when the station was going to start covering New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Covid deaths associated with his leadership failures.

In the video, David Marcus, a correspondent for The Federalist, approaches Mr Acosta, who is conducting another interview.

Mr Acosta was asking another man about whether or not its appropriate for Donald Trump to attend CPAC and continue spreading election lies when Mr Marcus broke into the conversation.
