CNN reporter Jim Acosta told CNN that he turned down a request to appear on former White House press secretary Sean Spicer’s new talk show.
Said Acosta: “We politely turned that down.”
He added: “My sense of it is that Sean has crossed the line from being somebody who was a former press secretary to somebody who wants to resurrect his career and go on Fox News and bash CNN. And if he’s going to do that, I don’t think we should give him time to do that.”
