Trump Supporters Chant 'Go Home' To CNN's Acosta


Members of the crowd awaiting President Trump's rally in South Carolina on Monday began chanting “Go home, Jim!” at CNN's Jim Acosta.

According to The Hill, multiple reporters tweeted that a woman verbally attacked Acosta as he stood in the press area. Crowd members also reportedly chanted "CNN sucks."

The jeers from the crowd came as people waited for a Trump rally in West Columbia, S.C., Monday night. Trump traveled to South Carolina to help campaign for Gov. Henry McMaster (R), who is facing John Warren (R) in a runoff election.


The attacks aimed at Acosta and CNN come just a week after the crowd at a Trump rally in Duluth, Minn., chanted "CNN sucks." Those chants came after Trump slammed the news media.


"And I've said before if I would have said that to you during the campaign, those very dishonest people back there, the fake news. Very dishonest," Trump said to boos from the crowd.

Acosta has had a contentious relationship with the White House and Trump campaign officials.


Acosta recently visited 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and gloated about his combative relationship with the Trump administration.
