Former CNN pundit-turned-YouTuber Jim Acosta went on a profane tirade and called on reporters to stage a mass walkout during President Donald Trump’s appearance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night.

Acosta made the unhinged demand during an episode of his podcast, The Jim Acosta Show, while speaking with Katie Couric.

If Trump begins criticizing or “trashing” members of the press corps, as he has every right to do after years of relentless fake news and hoaxes, not to mention that the dinner is traditionally something of a roast, Acosta declared the proper response is a mass walkout.

“I think if Trump starts doing that, the reporters in the room should walk the f-ck out! They should get up and leave!” Acosta raged.

“Will they, though? They won’t,” Couric replied.

The disgraced has-been framed the tantrum as some noble stand for the First Amendment, insisting journalists must “stand up for something and stand up for our profession.”

Acosta warned that simply sitting there while Trump speaks would make the media look complicit, adding that Trump is intentionally putting them in a no-win situation to expose their bias.

Acosta complained about reports that Trump plans to leave early, before saying, “And if folks are sitting there laughing at Trump trashing this anchor or this correspondent or this news organization, it’s just going to look terrible. I think he’s done this intentionally to put the media in a position where they can sort of be a part of his media strategy, which is to attack the press.”

Couric agreed.

WATCH:

The meltdown comes as President Trump prepares to attend the annual black-tie gala for the first time during his current term, breaking his long-standing boycott of the self-congratulatory “Nerd Prom” event, which has long been criticized as an elitist insider party where the press corps rubs elbows with the very power it claims to scrutinize.

Some WHCA members are planning a symbolic silent protest, wearing First Amendment-themed pocket squares and lapel pins featuring the text of the Constitution’s free press protections.

But Acosta and others want far more drama.

Over 250 Journalists Sign Letter Demanding ‘Forceful’ Protest Against Trump at White House Correspondents’ Dinner

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a coalition of more than 250 journalists and press freedom groups sent an open letter to the White House Correspondents’ Association earlier this week, urging the organization to use Trump’s presence as an opportunity to deliver a public protest from the podium.

The letter, titled a “Message to WHCA,” accuses the president of “systematic, sustained, and unprecedented attacks on the free press.”

Signatories include aging media personalities such as CBS anchor Dan Rather, former ABC White House correspondent Sam Donaldson, and former NBC anchor Ann Curry, as well as groups such as the Society of Professional Journalists.

The letter demands the WHCA issue a “forceful defense of freedom of the press and condemnation of those who threaten that freedom,” followed by a standing toast to the First Amendment.

Not content with protests or letters, some in the media are simply refusing to attend.

HuffPost announced it is boycotting the dinner entirely.

Editor-in-Chief Whitney Snyder wrote in a statement, “For 17 years, HuffPost has attended the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner… This year, we cannot stomach it. We’re skipping.”

Snyder called Trump’s presidency “an affront to a free press” and said the outlet refuses to “celebrate journalism and share laughs with a ruler who holds such a dreadful record.”

Late-night host Stephen Colbert also confirmed he will not attend.

This is the consequence of years of the world’s dumbest immigration policies.

A poor innocent toddler was savagely attacked by an illegal alien from India who tried to eat her face and it is completely Joe Biden’s fault.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

On Saturday, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported, while high on “wax,” the illegal alien, Atharva Vyas, carried out a savage, unprovoked attack on a mother and her three-year-old daughter in a San Antonio park, biting the toddler’s face, ripping out her front teeth, and jamming his thumbs into her eyes in what witnesses described as a scene straight out of a horror movie.

According to a report from the New York Post, Vyas was allegedly under the influence of “wax,” a highly concentrated form of cannabis with one dose equivalent to smoking 15-20 joints.

The toddler, little Amelia Perez; her father, Xavier Estrada; her mother, Gabriella Perez; and her grandfather, Richard Ariaza, were at the park, spending time together as a family and fishing when the attack took place.

Vyas emerged from the woods and charged at Gabriella Perez, grabbing her hair and punching her in the jaw. He then lunged at her three-year-old daughter, Amelia, pinning the toddler to the ground.

Witnesses said he bit the child’s face and mouth, tried to “eat” her face, gouged at her eyes with his thumbs, and ripped out her two front teeth.

Gabriella fought desperately to save her daughter.

“That brute was ravaging my baby!” Gabriella Perez told The Post. “She’s terrified to sleep. She’s lashing out, angry. She doesn’t understand evil like this f–king man. She’ll never be the same again.”

If the Biden administration had cared about protecting Americans, they would have deported this guy when he was arrested for felony assault. This young girl would have been spared the horrors of mass immigration.

No more children should be victims of suicidal immigration policies.

One police officer is dead and another officer is injured after a suspect opened fire inside a Chicago hospital.

On Saturday morning, a black male suspect opened fire inside Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital in Chicago’s Ravenswood hospital.

“Two Chicago Police Officers are reported to have been shot by a suspect at Swedish Covenant Hospital located at 5145 N California. This occurred around 1045am. Note: The suspect is still at large. Please pray for our police officers,” Chicago Alderman Jim Gardiner said in a post on Instagram.

The unidentified suspect was eventually taken into custody after a manhunt.

The motive for the shooting is not clear.

NBC Chicago reported:

A suspect is in custody after a shooting inside a Chicago hospital left one police officer dead and another critically injured on Saturday morning, law enforcement sources said.

Around 10:45 a.m., two Chicago police officers were shot at Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital, located at 5140 N. California Ave. in Chicago’s Ravenswood neighborhood.

Police took the suspect to the hospital to be checked out before going to jail for a separate offense before the shooting broke out, police sources told NBC Chicago.

One officer was later pronounced dead and the other was at a local hospital in critical condition, sources told NBC Chicago.

The suspect was taken into custody around noon after a manhunt, authorities said.

The suspect, described as a black male, was reportedly wearing ‘minimal clothing’ at the time of the shooting.

The US Military blew up another drug boat in the Eastern Pacific this week, killing two narco-terrorists.

Full Statement from SOUTHCOM:

On April 24, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.

Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations.

Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action.

No U.S. military forces were harmed.

WATCH:

The US Military on Monday released unclassified video of the US vaporizing another drug boat in the Caribbean, killing three narco-terrorists.

Last week, the US Military blew up a narco boat in the Eastern Pacific.

The US military has destroyed at least 55 drug boats in the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean since September.

Last month, US Southern Command announced that the US conducted a military strike on a narco-terrorist network in Ecuador.

“At the order of Secretary of War Hegseth, SOUTHCOM Commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan directed the joint force to support Ecuadorian forces conducing lethal kinetic operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations within Ecuador March 6,” US Southern Command said.

“We are advancing alongside our partners in the fight against narcoterrorism,” General Donovan said.

“I congratulate our joint forces and the Ecuadorian armed forces for the successful operation against narcoterrorists in Ecuador. This collaborative and decisive action is a strategic success for all nations in the Western Hemisphere committed to disrupting and defeating narcoterrorism.” General Donovan said.

“This operation demonstrates the power of coordinated action and sends a clear message: narco-terrorist networks will not find refuge in our hemisphere,” the Pentagon said.

“The United States remains steadfast in supporting nations that stand against narcoterrorism. Together, we will dismantle trafficking and corruption networks, hold these organizations accountable, and restore peace through strength,” the Pentagon said.

President Trump kept his promise to seal the border upon resuming office in January of 2025. Since then, border crossings have been down by over 99 percent.

The previous four years under Biden resulted in an open border and an estimated 15 million illegal aliens entering our country.

The result of those reckless open-border policies has led to the current situation that exists in our country today. Law enforcement agencies like the Texas DPS have consistently worked to arrest illegal aliens and those who are smuggling them into the United States.

A DPS trooper in Starr County did a traffic stop and discovered a human smuggler was carrying 5 illegal aliens in a Chevy pickup truck.

The driver was arrested and charged by the Border Patrol, and the illegal aliens were taken into custody by the Border Patrol.

The illegal aliens that were captured were wearing colored wristbands. The cartels give those to track payments and to coordinate illegal border crossings.
