"It is totally crazy to put his bats--- ‘Looney Tunes’ conspiracy theories on live national television without fact-checkers in real time, and some of the networks will say, 'Well, we'll have some fact-checkers on afterwards,' and the fact-checkers will come on and say, 'Well, there isn't any evidence to support his claims. ' It's all boloney kabuki Washington DC theater.

" Acosta relayed his worries to Reid that Trump would further spread alleged conspiracies surrounding the integrity of U.S. elections, thereby casting preliminary doubt on the integrity of"We should not be erring on the side of putting these things out there, and I totally agree with you that he's chumming the waters for not trusting the midterms. "President Donald Trump addresses the nation from the East Room of the White House on July 16 in Washington, D.C.

Adding to his critique, Acosta suggested the president could be forging a broader plot to create what he coined as a"52-car pileup" around the midterm elections.

" say,"See, I can't trust these results over here in this state or these results over here in that key district that may determine the control of the House. And Mike Johnson, maybe we just shouldn't seat a new Congress right away, and maybe we should just all go to court and have the courts untangle... that's going to take until May or June of next year," he warned.

Acosta's warning came ahead of Trump's primetime address Thursday, where, speaking to the nation, the president renewed his focus on election integrity and alleged that China"worked to influence the results" of Trump did not claim China changed votes or altered election results. Instead, he said Beijing engaged in an influence campaign aimed at shaping U.S. public perceptions. aired a special report that initially provided analysis before dipping into the speech minutes after Trump began speaking and cut away moments after"The least that the networks can do at this point is not platform these lies, to not allow him to chum the waters with this nonsense," Acosta warned ahead of the address.
