CNN's Jim Acosta says President Donald Trump's address to the nation about immigration and border security was recycled rhetoric from the President's rallies and should come with a Surgeon General's warning that it's hazardous to the truth.

Witch's Brew from Kelly Ann Conway:
Conway calls CNN's Acosta a 'smartass' during immigration exchange

White House senior adviser Kellyanne Conway called CNN's Jim Acosta a "smartass" during a heated exchange over immigration.
Acosta asked Conway on the North Lawn driveway whether she could "promise the president will tell the truth tonight" during a primetime address on his demands for a border wall.
"Yes, Jim. And will you promise that you will?" Conway asked in response.
"I will, absolutely. I'm not the one with the alternative-facts problem like you do," Acosta replied, referencing a quote from Conway from 2017.
When Acosta challenged Conway again about whether Trump's speech could pass a fact check, the White House aide replied, "let me go back to your case because you're such a smartass most of the time and I know you want this to go viral."
She then defended her response to the White House's use of a misleading claim that 4,000 known or suspected terrorists were caught last year trying to cross the border to argue for a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.
