CNN’s Jim Acosta reamed for doing the most Jim Acosta thing ever

March 30, 2021 | | Print Article

There are few certainties in topsy-turvy post-Obama America, but one thing we can count on is that CNN’s prima-donna reporter Jim Acosta is going to be Jim Acosta.

Now the network’s chief domestic correspondent, Acosta shared a photo of himself getting a COVID-19 vaccine on Monday, and to ensure that the focus would be more about him than the vaccine itself, he wore a t-shirt emblazoned with his perceived accomplishments in 2020.

The shirt itself was black, with bold white lettering that jumps out. In a display of virtue signaling designed to distract from his narcissism, Acosta attempted to paint a more selfless picture.

“Just the shot in the arm I needed. The latest studies show the Covid-19 vaccines are highly effective. Please do your part to end this pandemic. Get your shot!” he tweeted.

Meanwhile, the t-shirt reads: “In 2020, I covered the impeachment trial & a caucus night (that lasted a week) & the primaries & the covid pandemic & the economic crash & the racial justice protests & Lafayette Square & so many rallies & the death of RBG & the president’s 1AM coronavirus diagnosis & a Supreme Court confirmation & an election night (that lasted a week) & things by tweet & the recounts & the presidential transition & I have a commemorative shirt to prove it.”

Of course, the real “shot in the arm” the reporter needs is attention, and lots of it.

Acosta became a household name for continually challenging former President Donald Trump, consistently putting political ideology ahead of journalism. Cashing in on this effort, he wrote a book that featured his jousting with Trump.

As expected, Acosta would get lit up online, but one tweet, in particular, seemed to sum things up perfectly.

“This is the most Jim Acosta thing Jim Acosta has ever done, even more Jim Acosta than Jim Acosta making his Twitter header a picture of Jim Acosta pointing at Jim Acosta’s Twitter avatar of Jim Acosta,” tweeted Stephen L. Miller.

Here’s a sampling of other reactions to the story from Twitter:
