Limbaugh Likens Trump Administration’s Handling of CNN’s Jim Acosta to a Cat Chasing a Laser Pointer

Tuesday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh likened how the Trump administration was handling CNN’s Jim Acosta, who expressed his disapproval of the White House offering audio-only press briefings a day earlier, to a cat chasing a laser pointer.

“This Jim Acosta guy — little Jim Acosta, CNN — a guy that lost his cookies yesterday with the press briefing when the cameras weren’t turned on … I’ll tell you what this guy reminds me of,” he said. “If you ever had a cat — a cat and get one of these red laser pointers and you point it on the floor and the cat tries to catch it, you point it into the sofa — the cat runs into the sofa trying to put it up against the wall. I think that’s what the Trump administration is doing with many in the media. They’re like cats. He’s got this little red laser light. It’s just causing them to make fools of themselves and everybody is laughing at them as they’re crashing into walls and the sofa and the floor. And that’s what little Jim Acosta had happen to him yesterday.”
