CNN's Jim Acosta clapped back at FOX News host Sean Hannity, who told his viewers that Acosta deserved the mob-style attack he received during Trump's Tampa rally earlier this week for his “abusively biased treatment of the president.”
Tweeted Acosta on Wednesday night: “Hannity is a propagandist for profit, peddling lies every night. He says he's just a talk show host, not a journalist. But he's injecting poison into the nation's political bloodstream warping public attitudes about the press. I'm confident in the long run the truth will prevail.”

Of course, Hannity responded like an adult: “Jimmy @Acosta sorry your precious feelings are hurt & that people see through your lying bulls**t for what it is. FAKE NEWS. #CNNSUCKS”
