Jim Acosta, Jasmine Crockett Baselessly Petrified Trump Will Throw Her In The Slammer

When former CNN host Jim Acosta told Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Wednesday that he was concerned that President Donald Trump’s administration might arrest her, she agreed his concerns were well-founded.

Democratic Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested on May 9 outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in his city, with Democratic New Jersey Rep. LaMonica McIver facing charges for allegedly assaulting law enforcement officers there the same day. Acosta, on “The Jim Acosta Show,” discussed the incident and suggested that Crockett could face a similar threat.

“To me, it’s not America when ICE agents can show up in masks, uh, sweep people up off the street, send them out of the country without due process, put them in these facilities and we don’t even know what’s happening inside these facilities,” Acosta said. “So, of course, it makes sense that members of Congress would want to go visit one of these ICE facilities and say, ‘Okay, what’s going on here? We’re members of Congress, we represent the people, we want to know what’s going on here.’”

“And then there’s there’s this scuffle where they’re giving these members of Congress a hard time and I’m worried about folks like yourself, Congresswoman, because I have to assume that you know, of course, they would like to arrest you and some of the others who are more outspoken in the House,” he continued. “That’s just me thinking that.”
