In a recent episode of The Jim Acosta Show, host Jim Acosta criticized the GOP-led House for censuring Rep. Al Green after he heckled President Trump during a State of the Union-style address. Acosta emphasized the irony of the situation, pointing out that Trump faced little to no consequences for his own inflammatory remarks. Acosta, along with guests Rick Wilson and Molly Jong-Fast, discussed Republican tactics and criticized the Democrats for their approach, suggesting that they should adopt a more resilient stance rather than engaging in performative responses to GOP actions.
JIM ACOSTA: I still can't get over this. The House voted 224 to 198 to censure Al Green for disrupting Trump's joint address to Congress this week. You know, he had the cane and all of that. And, you know, to me, it's like, okay, I know we've had the discussion, all of us about Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert and so on, you know, but Donald Trump doesn't get censured for calling Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas.. And it's like, you know, I mean, I guess this is all Congress can do at this point. This is all performative bullshit!
RICK WILSON: The whole lesson Democrats should learn occasionally is shut the fuck up and form a shield wall like Republicans do! Like don't even accept the premise of their bullshit.
MOLLY JONG-FAST: It's stupid. Yeah.
JIM ACOSTA: Ten Democrats voted with this. Ten Democrats voted with this apparently!
