Jim Acosta

I was actually not at the dinner.

So I didn't go because I said, you know, I don't want to be a part of this.

I don't want to be a part of anything where Trump was going to speak and trash the free press and everything.

So, you know, I thought about getting a table for me and my guys.

And we just said, no, let's not do it this year.

Let's do it another year.

So I was at the Substack party where, you know, there was other stuff going on.

But, you know, I mean, we can talk about the dinner itself, but to me, like, you know, this this is yet another reason why this this event should be scrapped in its current form.

It should not continue like this.

It's like James Bond.

It's 007 right there.

There he is.

Exactly.

Vodka martini, shaken, not stirred and definitely shaken.

Yeah.

yeah i you know that one that one is is is strange i mean there's a lot of strange stuff going on that night there was there was stephen miller apparently hiding behind katie miller there was they rushed out jd vance before they rushed out trump i mean this whole thing was a show and you know the the only folks who came out you know smelling like a rose it seems to me were the folks in the press um i thought you know despite the fact that i

didn't want to go to the event and I thought, you know, it wasn't right that people in the press were having this event with Trump.

I thought Weijia Jiang, the head of the Correspondents Association, handled it well.

But, I mean, this was a shit show from top to bottom.

I mean, first of all, why is it that the President, the Vice President and the Speaker of the House, you know, the line of succession is right there, they're all in one
