After the video went viral, Act for America founder Brigitte Gabriel said Acosta should lose his job, while former Democratic Senate candidate Allen Glines tweeted that Acosta had behaved reasonably.
"I am repulsed that people gladly take a paycheck to lie and mischaracterize me like this guy, Jim Acosta," Greene wrote as a caption.
"I want to think good things about the press, but they behave like this and it makes me sick to my stomach."

U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, right, wears a"Stop the Steal" mask while speaking with fellow first-term Republican members of Congress on the steps of the US Capitol in Washington, D.C. on January 4, 2021. An argument between Acosta and Greene has gone viral on Twitter.
During an administrative hearing on 22 April, Greene was pressed on her previous remarks and social media posts by lawyers arguing she fomented the insurrection and should be barred from the ballot. Throughout the hearing Greene said she couldn't recall making certain statements.
Acosta says he has, pointing out that Greene misspelled"martial." Greene accused Acosta of lying and demands he read the message. Acosta pulled out his phone and began reading from it.
