CNN's Jim Acosta said Monday that President Trump has "normalized and sanitized nastiness and cruelty" in the U.S.
Speaking at a political conference hosted by CNN, the White House correspondent said that during a rally last week in Montana, a Trump supporter "was doing these body slam moves" and made a throat-slitting gesture at Acosta. Acosta said he spoke to the man after the event and said the man laughed about the incident.
I guess he wasnt serious about it, but to me thats the Trump effect on America. It has normalized and sanitized nastiness and cruelty in a way that I just never thought I would see," Acosta said.
Acosta tweeted after the Montana rally, in which Trump praised a GOP lawmaker who assaulted a reporter, that a young man "looked at me and ran his thumb across his throat."

Normalizing crazy is creating a base for them to build on.
