CNN’s Jim Acosta is assessing former President Donald Trump’s recent remarks about the 2020 presidential election and is suggesting “every day is kind of a grievance groundhog day” for him.
Acosta said on Sunday, “It seems he gets up every day, gripes about the election, then wakes up the next day still a loser.”
Mentioning reported remarks made by Trump at a Republican National Committee donor dinner at his Mar-a-Lago club in Florida on Saturday, Acosta said, “He called the results B.S., slammed his own vice president for certifying them and said, this is a direct quote … ‘If that were Schumer instead of that dumb son of a b**** Mitch McConnell they would never have allowed it to happen.’ That is the former President of the United States.”
He added, “The comments, by the way, were met with applause. What a retreat, indeed.”
Pivoting to ask Margaret Hoover for her take, Acosta suggested Trump is who Republicans are “flocking to” right now.
Hoover explained she is not sure Republicans are really flocking to Trump and noted Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is not as he is focused on 2022.
