CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta on Monday said White House press secretary Sean Spicer is “just kind of useless” as tensions continue to escalate between the Trump administration and the press corps.
“So the White House press secretary is getting to a point, Brooke, where he’s just kind of useless,” Acosta said during an appearance on “CNN Newsroom with Brooke Baldwin.”
“You know, if he can’t come out and answer the questions and they’re just not going to do this on camera or audio, why are we even having these briefings or these gaggles in the first place?”
“I don’t know why everybody is going along with this. It just doesn’t make any sense to me,” he added.
