QUOTE OF THE DAY: Jim Acosta Says Trump Scarred Him for Life
On air Tuesday, CNN anchor Jim Acosta seemed to compare his time covering Donald Trump’s presidency to being brutally whipped.

“To some extent, things are better,” Acosta continued, noting that at least President Joe Biden apologized after cursing at a reporter Monday. “We never got an apology. I don’t remember that from the commander in chief. So maybe things are a little bit better to some extent.”
