Shep Defends CNN’s Acosta from Trump Attacks: ‘We’re Not Fools’ for Asking Questions

RUSH EXCERPT:
SMITH: "Treating Jim Acosta from CNN, a guy I've never met but a good reporter. Treating him like he’s — I’m not going to use the word. I’m not going to give Twitter the love it needs. It’s crazy what we’re watching every day. It’s absolutely crazy. He keeps repeating ridiculous lines that are not true at all. Sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we’re some kind of fools for asking the question. Really? Your opposition was hacked and the Russians were responsible for it and your people were on the phone with Russia the same day it’s happening and we’re fools for asking questions? No, sir, we’re not fools for asking the question and we demand to know the answer to this question. You owe this to the American people. Your supporters will support you either way. What were your people saying? We have a right to know. We absolutely do. You call us fake news and put us down like children for asking these questions on behalf of the American people. It’s inconsequential. The people deserve that answer."
