CNN’s Jim Acosta got roasted on social media after posting a photo of himself, wearing a self-promoting t-shirt while receiving his COVID-19 vaccine this week.
Acosta posted uploaded the picture on Monday.
The black shirt that Acosta is seen wearing in the photo has the following phrase printed on it:
“In 2020, I covered the impeachment trial & a caucus night (that lasted a week) & the primaries & the covid pandemic & the economic crash & the racial justice protests & Lafayette Square & so many rallies & the death of RBG & the president’s 1AM coronavirus diagnosis & a Supreme Court confirmation & an election night (that lasted a week) & things by tweet & the recounts & the presidential transition & I have a commemorative shirt to prove it.”
“Just the shot in the arm I needed,” Acosta captioned his photo. “The latest studies show the Covid-19 vaccines are highly effective. Please do your part to end this pandemic. Get your shot!”

Glad you got vaccinated, Jim. Also, why are you wearing a commemorative shirt to yourself? pic.twitter.com/xT6WhWXUWu

This is the most Jim Acosta thing Jim Acosta has ever done, even more Jim Acosta than Jim Acosta making his Twitter header a picture of Jim Acosta pointing at Jim Acosta's Twitter avatar of Jim Acosta https://t.co/9VvwdD7aIV

If you zoom in closely, it says: “I tried super hard to journalism but all I got was this lousy T-Shirt.”

Next shirt should say “I’m the jackass who pushed a White House intern because press briefings need to be all about me & then I can write ‘dear diary’ posts about my experiences & get made fun of on Twitter & think I’m the shit.”

My goodness this t-shirt is quite the way of screaming that you're a certifiable narcissist.
Jim Acosta has to be in the top ten of the most self-centered journalists and Americans period https://t.co/2lG9zVnAGr

You’re really wearing that shirt, one you specifically picked out that day knowing you’d be photographed in it, and you wonder why your profession is held in contempt by the public.
