Independent journalist Michael Tracey called out former CNN host Jim Acosta, inviting him to meet outside a Washington, D.C. hotel for a fight early Sunday morning.
Acosta accused Tracey in social media posts of harassing Miami Herald journalist Julie K. Brown, an investigative reporter who played a key role in pushing the story of financier Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring into the national news. At one point, Tracey claimed Acosta “threatened to fight” him during the Substack afterparty for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
“Still have no idea whatever went on with Trump tonight, just know Jim threw a fuckin’ hissing fit. Pussy! Jim, meet me in front of the Hampton Inn,” Tracey posted on X at 1:01 a.m. ET Sunday, adding in a follow-up post just six minutes later, “Jim, I’m literally waiting for you right now, you piece of shit.”
“We saw what you did at the Substack party. You were bullying in a menacing way and would not let her walk away from you,” Acosta posted Sunday. “Your behavior was shameful and ugly. So yes, I stepped in as did several other people, including security, to escort Brown away from you.”
