Summary

#EPIC: JIM ACOSTA SHOW DC TOWN HALL WITH ⁨Rep. Jasmine Crockett, ROSIE ODONNELL, Olivia of Troye, & Michael Fanone!

Democracy doesn’t defend itself — we do. Welcome to a very special edition of the Jim Acosta Show. A live town hall from the historic Lincoln Theatre in Downtown Washington, DC. We wanted to give voice to the people affected by the mass and indiscriminate federal workforce layoffs and the insanity that is happening in our government today, and you made that possible. Surprise guest Rep. Jasmine Crockett lit up the stage with her signature raw, unfiltered truth. And Rosie O'Donnell brought down the house with her honest look at what is happening in the country under Donald Trump. On Monday night, The Lincoln Theatre was packed with justice seekers and truth-tellers, all coming together to confront the state of our democracy, and explore how resistance and truth can be a source of real power. Thanks to every one of our media friends who helped us out along the way to promote this event, including the MeidasTouch Network⁩ team,⁨ Aaron Parnas, nbcwashington's Tony Perkins, and so many more. And to everyone who bought tickets and showed up to make this event a huge success, thank you too.
