CNN's Jim Acosta reports on Trump's "Grievanceburg Address," is shouted at later by Trump supporters

Two separate stories from Mediaite this afternoon:

CNN reporter Jim Acosta reacted to Donald Trump‘s big Gettysburg speech today by remarking on how it began with an airing of grievances.

Trump’s campaign billed this speech as a big policy-oriented vision of his first 100 days in office, but before Trump got to that part he complained about the media and said he would sue his accusers after the election.

Acosta said, “This sounded very much like the Grievanceburg Address, not the Gettysburg Address. It was Donald Trump running through basically everything that is getting on his nerves these days.”

A mob of Donald Trump supporters outside the venue for his Virginia rally this afternoon were clearly angry at CNN, and when they spotted CNN reporter Jim Acosta nearby, they let him have it.

There were a lot of chants of “CNN sucks!” and “Tell the truth!” and when they spotted Acosta there was a loud boo.

Acosta actually turned to them briefly to engage with them as they were shouting that CNN has no integrity and they’re the worst. He said, “You guys liked us when we had him on the air all the time during the primaries!”

More people started shouting and there was even one person who cried, “You look like a woman!”

And some were using language Acosta said he couldn't repeat on the air
