Jim Acosta Chastises Trump: His Promised ‘Conversation’ About Gun Control ‘Never Happened’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:

CABRERA: "Jim, what are you hearing from the White House tonight regarding this mass shooting?"
ACOSTA: "Well, Ana, we are waking up to this horrific news in Texas. The president, as you said, is receiving updates from his team here in Tokyo. They have put out a statement courtesy of the White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. We can put that up on screen and share that with you. Here it is from Sarah Sanders. The president has been briefed several times and is continuing to receive regular updates. May God comfort them all in this time of tragedy. We should point out the president is expected to make some remarks at the top of the next hour here in Tokyo. He was expected to address business leaders. There is a chance that the president may comment on what's happened in Texas at that event but later on this afternoon the president and president Shinzo Abe will hold a press conference. If he doesn't speak about it now, he will this afternoon. We'll be watching to see what the president has to say about this. You'll recall after the las Vegas mass shooting about a month ago the president was hesitant to get into this discussion of gun control, gun safety laws. He said let's wait. Let's talk about that at a later date. That discussion never happened. You're seeing critics of the nation's gun laws chiming in saying, it's time to have that discussion again. Of course, Ana, another one of these terrible mass shootings has put that issue front and center. The president is going to have to deal with it during the trip here in Asia."
