Acosta Throws 'Town Hall' With Resistance Celebrities - Unintended Hilarity Ensues

CNN and Jim Acosta finally parted ways on January 28, his last day on the network.

He ended up just another guy on Substack, trying to shill his product. That must have been hard on a guy with such a high opinion of himself.

On Monday, he was doing a live town hall version of the chat show he's now doing online at the Lincoln Theatre in D.C. But he was still trying to hawk tickets shortly before the event, according to the Washington Free Beacon. And that was for an event in D.C., where you would think there would be a lot of liberals.

The Free Beacon was there and described the "first (and apparently only stop) on the 'Fire Within Tour'" with a lineup which "would struggle to draw a crowd almost anywhere else in the country" including Rosie O'Donnell and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) unless you were talking about the kind of person "who owns an Anthony Fauci prayer candle and refuses to watch CNN because it's right-wing propaganda." Their ridiculous "pretentious tagline" for the event? "Fueling Courage. Defending Freedom. Igniting Truth."

Yeesh, who could stomach that? But they're so brave, these courageous fighters, resisting...having a much better country than under the Democrats.

Easily half of the 1200-seat venue wasn't necessary. Only about 500 showed up, according to the Washington Free Beacon's estimate, so that was the first point of hilarity. It didn't do very well.

Then you had some true wackiness as Rosie O'Donnell appeared virtually from Ireland, where she fled because of her Trump Derangement Syndrome. Acosta even tried to fake an Irish accent, wishing her "Top of the morning." Yikes, what cringe. And they acted as though Trump would give a darn that she was "appearing" at the theatre. Listen as she goes into full-blown election denialism, saying she thought Elon Musk did something untoward to help Trump win the election.

Watch the utterly broken has-been Rosie O'Donnell melt down over the Mockingbird Media AND deny elections within one minute of this Jim Acosta clip...all from her 'safe space' in Dublin, Ireland.

😂😂😂

"I believe Elon Musk did something. No one has ever won every swing state. I believe the down-ballot proof. I believe that he did not win this election because I was looking at how many people Kamala Harris had. And I just don't believe it."

Now that's funny because of how Democrats have demonized "denialism," but this is "D" different apparently. And her assessment is crazy. How would Elon have been able to do anything? Kamala "crowds" were hyped by having people like Beyoncé. But this is a common delusion on the left. Notice Acosta does not shut it down. Indeed, he suggests that the result would be different if the election were held today, and that's as delusional as her comment, given all the polling that shows how unpopular Democrats are at this point and what has come out on the Biden cognitive decline cover-up.

If all that wasn't cringey enough, his ending was hilarious. He's going to lead you with lights in the darkness.

🚨Jim Acosta ends his Resistance “Town Hall" by having the crowd turn on their phone lights so he could deliver a cringe closing monologue.

Just, wow:

“This is not a country that is being plunged into darkness. This is a country that can find its way back to the light."

"It may feel like we are surrounded in darkness right now," Acosta intones somberly.

"There's no question about it. It's been hard to get through...But there's still a lot of light left in all of us...This is not a country that is being plunged into darkness. This is a country that can find its way back to the light...Keep watching us...We're going to give you the truth."

Gag.
