if i have objections to jim acosta, and i don't follow him very cold tone might closely come of what i've seen some of what he has done, he is a peter porter, a street reporter, not a commentator, not an editorialist, he's -- he seems perfectly m free to advane his opinions about president trump and his news coverage. if i were a bureau chief, i might find that objectionable. >> tucker: almost five years ago that a white house correspondent who i supervise to work for me yelled out a question at president obama, and was rude about it, but was attacked, no ruder than jim acosta, was attacked as a bigot for doing that. almost universally. this stance has changed. am i just imagining that? >> it's a double standard we've all been witnessing for years. president obama enjoyed a certain protected status because he was african-american and because he was a democrat and ai liberal. those things don't normally apply to republicans,
