Donald Trump Jr. on Thursday blasted CNN reporter Jim Acosta over his recent comment about Wednesday's attempted bomb attacks. Acosta had tweeted: "Trump talked about the bombs sent to former public officials at his rally in Wisconsin. But once again he didn't mention CNN. On top of all that he criticized the 'media' for coverage he doesn't like. And, of course, he took no responsibility for his own rhetoric." "Jim, did you or your colleagues take any responsibility for your rhetoric in constantly calling my family Racists and Nazis for 2 years when my wife actually opened an exploding envelope of white powder intended for me? What about when it happened to my brother?" Trump Jr. replied. President Trump did denounce the recent attacks and called for civility during a campaign rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday. The following morning, Trump tweeted: "A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News." "It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST!" the president further noted.
