Watch: Ivanka Trump Swats Away CNN’s Jim Acosta Like A Bug
First daughter and adviser to the President Ivanka Trump ignored and swatted CNN’s Jim Acosta away while in Davos as he tried to ask her about impeachment.
Ivanka has traveled with President Trump to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland and was there to promote the Pleadge to America’s Workers and “wage growth and job creation in the United States.”
Headed to Davos to call on the world’s largest employers to sign our #PledgetoAmericasWorkers and join us in unleashing the potential of our people and accelerating the historic wave of opportunity, wage growth and job creation in the United States.

As Ivanka walked down a staircase up pops little Jim Acosta trying to ask her about her father’s impeachment and she just walked past him without even acknowledging his existence. Acosta tried to follow her and looked pathetic scuttling behind her.

Jim Acosta trying to be cute claimed she declined to comment but, in reality, she swatted him like a bug.

Jim Acosta did note that no White House officials, cabinet members, or aides at the forum have commented on the President’s impeachment trial.
Much of the same from cabinet secretaries and other top WH aides at forum. Up until now they’ve been keeping clear of impeachment questions. https://t.co/hcll9zScUG

Donald Trump Jr. defended his sister and attacked Acosta saying he is, “one of the most dishonest reporters in all of Washington.”
Why should she give a comment to one of the most dishonest reporters in all of Washington??? https://t.co/YYmD30WL5P

I’m sure Ivanka is grateful for her brother defended her but I don’t think she needed it. That look she shot Acosta as she turned and walked away with him scuttling like a little puppy behind her was enough for me.
