Acosta was recently heckled by a Trump mob at the president's Tampa rally, a heckling apparently approved by the president.
Acosta later tweeted: “I walked out of the end of that briefing because I am totally saddened by what just happened. Sarah Sanders was repeatedly given a chance to say the press is not the enemy and she wouldn't do it. Shameful.”
