When you think about that day and the stuff that is said on this video and, and, you know, you seem to be laughing along with what he's saying and so on.
Obviously you regret that. Um, what goes through your mind?
If you want to say that I failed in that regard, you have every right, Bush said, but he lost his temper after further grilling from Acosta. ... If people want to say that Im a terrible person for being in that room and not doing more in this situation then good for you, you high and mighty person, you self-righteous warrior. Good for you.

I mean, but, you know, that youre gonna have the folks who say, you had your shot in that moment to tell him, stop acting like a piece of s, Acosta persisted. Youre acting like piece of s. I guess you would have been fired. You would have been thrown out? I dont know.

I love you. Jim, and I know youre doing your job because I can see the comments rolling in there and theyre like, Jim you gotta hold him account. You gotta do it. But Jim, if you and I were offline right now, I dont think youd be going too hard at me because I think you know it was a s situation to be in. A very s situation to be in.

(3,929 posts)and Access Hollywood wasn't really a news program, so what to fuck else would you expect of me when the person I am interviewing tells me he is a serial sexual abuser?"

(66,090 posts)Acosta and the entire US news media have failed to hold Trump to account for 10+ years. I couldn't care less about ol' Billy, but Acosta's using him as a scapegoat.
