Jim Acosta Is Worried Trump Will Be Allowed To Run In 2024
CNN host Jim Acosta fretted that former President Donald Trump would be able to run in 2024 on his show Sunday.
“Are you worried Trump will be let off the hook?” Acosta asked former D.C. Metropolitan Police officer and CNN analyst Michael Fanone, referring to the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, on “CNN Newsroom.” Acosta then asked, “Going to get off scot-free in all this?”
“I believe he’s going to get off the hook,” Fanone, who labeled the rioters “terrorists” during congressional testimony in 2021, replied. “I believe that he’s going to — you know get out of this unscathed, and I think there’s a significant possibility that he becomes president again in 2024.”

Fanone told Acosta that a “very significant part of the population” still backs Trump in the wake of the riot.
Five people died during the riot at the Capitol.
Trump fueled speculation about another presidential run during a May rally in Wyoming for Harriet Hageman, who is challenging Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, an outspoken critic of the former president who serves on the select committee investigating the Capitol riot.
“Does anyone want me to run again?” Trump asked during the rally.

Thats right!!! And he should worry. All Demwits out. Go Brandon, Kame la la la la la la la la la and Obammy.
Couldn’t listen to all of that BS. And the cop looks like he belongs to a street gang, he’s full of tattoos and full of baloney. He said he almost lost his life. Some people were killed on capitol grounds, and not accidently. The people who do as they want and get away with it are the gangs of 2020 who burned down buildings, attacked people, destroyed businesses. Not in one city but multiple cities. To this day they are all walking around free. They are the ones who got away with murder. Don’t worry about the conservatives, they know the difference between right and wrong; what’s lawful and lawless. They are not the ones to watch. The dums need to keep their eyes on their own kind – those who are in the open about what they do and aren’t hiding what they’re planning for our country’s future. They are the ones to be afraid of. Ol’ joe and the dums. But they don’t scare everyone.
