'Disgraceful' former CNN star slammed for vile joke about Trump's dead ex-wife - as White House hits back
Former CNN reporter Jim Acosta has been slammed with backlash after making a vile joke about President Donald Trump 's deceased ex-wife, Ivana.
Acosta made the remark during a Monday interview on The Contrarian podcast while discussing the Trump administration's immigration policies.
The correspondent's crude remark prompted a response from the White House, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt telling Fox Digital he is a 'disgraceful human being.'
'Where are the ICE raids at the Trump properties?' he began his tangent on the No Kings Day episode of the show.
'Could somebody call ICE on the Trump golf course in Virginia? You're telling me there's nobody in there that is undocumented or has some kind of squirreliness going on with their paperwork?'
The left-leaning 54-year-old went on to Trump's personal life, asking: 'How many immigrants has he married?'
'He's got one buried at his golf course in New Jersey! Isn't she buried by the first hole or the second tee or something like that?' he said as liberal reporter April Ryan and show host Jennifer Rubin cackled along.
Trump's first wife, Ivana, who passed away in 2022, is buried at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Aside from the White House's take on Acosta's dig, Trump supporters have taken to social media to tear into the correspondent.
'Jim Acosta is a whole new level of Messed Up,' one man reacted on X.
