A man had to repeatedly turn around to tell CNN White House correspondent and provocateur Jim Acosta to be quiet after he yelled at President Donald Trump on Friday during a White House tax bill event.

The event was "intended to commemorate the more than six months that have passed since he signed the GOP tax bill into law," CBS News reported.
"Mr. President, will you stop calling us the enemy of the people, sir?" Acosta yelled. "Will you stop calling the press the enemy of the people, sir?"
"Mr. President, will you stop calling us the enemy of the people, sir?" Acosta continued to yell.
The man in front of him repeatedly turned around to tell him to be quiet.
Acosta is presumably trying to tie yesterday’s horrific shooting at the Capital Gazette newspaper in Maryland to Trump’s criticism of the press.
He wasn’t the only member of the mainstream media to try to make this connection, yet there is zero evidence that there was any political motivation to the shooting.

Former CNN Senior Digital Producer Steve Krakauer weighed in on Acosta's antics, writing on Twitter:
"I tried to ask the president if he would stop calling us the enemy of the people," Acosta tweeted. "He did not respond."
"We also had a few folks who shushed is in the audience," Acosta continued. "Of course we are not going to be shushed."
Twitter users quickly criticized and mocked Acosta's misleading tweet:
Three days earlier Acosta was accosted at a rally in South Carolina, heckled by Trump supporters to told to "go home." Members of the crowd shouted “CNN sucks” and “Fake News Jim” as people waited for the rally to start in Columbia.
A woman reportedly confronted Mr Acosta – CNN’s chief White House correspondent – near his seat in the press area and then as he stood in front of the cameras.

“Sitting next to Acosta is the ... ahem ... ‘best’ seat in the house. Frequent chanting of ‘CNN sucks’, ’Go home, Jim.’
Acosta recounted the ordeal of attending the rally on CNN on Monday night – saying it felt totally unprecedented and had left him "shocked."
“When I was at this rally tonight, people were coming up to me and saying ‘why are you mean to President Trump, why are mean to Sarah Sanders?’
“It’s sort of like being beamed into the twilight zone, covering a political rally where your fellow Americans – you stand for the pledge of allegiance, you do the national anthem – and then they all turn on you and start screaming at you like this. It’s just unlike anything I’ve ever seen before and it’s quite startling.”“An elderly woman came up to me and said that I needed to get the ‘eff’ out. And then she turned to the crowd and whipped them all into a frenzy and they were saying ‘go home Jim, CNN sucks, fake news,’ and so on. And to me, it’s sort of like, really? This is civility?”
The attacks levied at Acosta and CNN come just a week after the crowd at a Trump rally in Duluth in Minnesota chanted “CNN sucks” after the president lambasted the media.
“And I’ve said before if I would have said that to you during the campaign, those very dishonest people back there, the fake news. Very dishonest,” Mr Trump said to boos.
Last month, he suggested he could “take away credentials” of media organisations over negative stories about him.

“The Fake News is working overtime.” the U.S. president tweeted. ”Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative."
