Originally published at: CNN SNOWFLAKE: April Ryan Says Jim Acosta’s ‘LIFE IN JEOPARDY’ at Trump Rally | Sean Hannity
CNN’s April Ryan doubled-down on the defense of her network’s senior White House correspondent Thursday night, saying Jim Acosta’s “life was in jeopardy” at a recent Trump rally in Tampa, Florida.
Ryan was speaking with CNN’s Don Lemon when she weighed-in on the crowd’s anti-media chants, suggesting her network colleagues were in physical danger from GOP supporters attending the packed event.
“That’s a serious moment and a serious place. And Jim Acosta’s life, in my opinion, was in jeopardy that night,” said Ryan, adding that the President “has stoked the flames for reporters to feel like they are in jeopardy.”
Acosta made national headlines this week after his fiery exchange with White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders; viciously attacking the President’s spokesperson after he complained about the “un-American” treatment from the administration.
