Once a CNN anchor, Jim Acosta has long been criticized for his questionable journalistic integrity, but his latest remarks may have propelled him into the realm of moral reprehensibility.
As reported by Fox News, Acosta made an appearance on the âNo Kingsâ Day episode of âThe Contrarianâ podcast, hosted by Jennifer Rubin, where he was joined by far-left journalist April Ryan to discuss the ongoing ICE raids across the nation.
During the conversation, Acosta accused former President Trump of hypocrisy for allegedly harboring illegal immigrants at his properties while ICE conducts nationwide raids to apprehend undocumented migrants. âI have a question: where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties?â he quipped, prompting laughter from Rubin and Ryan. âCan someone call ICE on the Trump course in Virginia?â
However, the discussion took a darker turn when Acosta invoked the memory of Trumpâs late ex-wife, Ivana, to emphasize his argument. âHow many immigrants has he married?â Acosta asked. âHeâs got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey!â He further added, âIsnât she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that? Immigrants are always doing the jobs that Americans donât want to do.â

According to Fox News, Ivana, who passed away in 2022 due to blunt impact injuries sustained from an accidental fall in her New York City apartment, is interred at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. She was the mother of Trumpâs three oldest children: Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt did not hold back in her response to Acostaâs comments, labeling him as âa disgraceful human being.â One might argue that âdisgracefulâ might be too lenient; terms like âwickedâ or âsinisterâ seem more fitting in this context.
