Acosta Clashes With Trump's Former DHS Chief Over Election Fraud Claims: 'Sounds Like You've Watched

...One Too Many Conspiracy Films’

CNN’s Jim Acosta clashed with Chad Wolf, who served as former President Donald Trump’s Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, over the ex-president’s comments about the 2020 election.

The contentious interview aired on Sunday’s episode of CNN Newsroom, with Acosta asking Wolf point blank if he thought there had been fraud in the 2020 election.

“I think there’s a number of election irregularities, illegalities, and fraud,” Wolf replied. “That’s been widely reported on both the right and the left.”

“But enough to alter the outcome of the 2020 election?” asked Acosta, asking Wolf “Are you an election denier?”

Acosta had him on the ropes and I believe Wolf was relieved to end the interview. Wolf needs to be held accountable for his role in child separation and now spreading lies about ejection security. No soul.

a jump to a suspicious website asking me to prove I'm not a bot and demanding I allow them access to prove it.

Nope. I'll look for a better link.

and Acosta should have said go ahead - detail all the election fraud you are claiming robbed Trump.

No one gives details because none exist. Acosta dropped the ball, imo. He should have answered, “Yes, please do. And take all the time you need.”
