CNN’s Jim Acosta heroically stood up to an elderly woman who told him to
Here’s some video of a woman berating @Acosta. This went on for several minutes as many in the crowd cheered her on. As someone who’s covered my share of Trump rallies, it feels like 2016 all over again. pic.twitter.com/j0SF2nFDvG

Acosta braved the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and said he was not backing down to any old lady!!!
CNN: @Acosta: "While we have had people come up to us and be nice. I had an elderly woman just a short while's come up to me—she came up to me & said that we at CNN should get the f*** out of this auditorium... She turned to the crowd & whipped them up into a frenzy." pic.twitter.com/KRDP4tpnFJ

Doesn’t sound so bad:
Jim Acosta is now posing for selfies and autographing MAGA hats and McMaster signs. So there’s that.
