CNN On-Air Personalities Targeted By Trump Getting Armed Security

President Trump's relentless attacks on CNN have forced the network to take extreme measures -- offering armed security to on-air talent who have reason to fear for their safety.

Network sources tell TMZ ... CNN brass offered reporters and anchors who have been targets of President Trump around-the-clock protection. We're told the logic is simple ... there are Trump fanatics who believe the President when he calls the media and certain reporters "the enemy of the people," and the fear is that they will take violent action.

There's actual proof here ... the person who sent mail bombs targeted CNN at least twice.

We're told CNN has told the targeted employees they can choose the level of protection they want, ranging from round-the-clock armed guards to more limited security, such as following the personality to and from work.

And take it all the way to the highest court. No President should be able to do this, to anyone. This one is intentionally trying to hurt them with his weaponized words he's continuing to use. He knows its inciting others.

violate these rules rather easily and doesn't get slapped by Congress or any other regulatory body (the Fed. Election Comm.), etc.

If they won't enforce/act upon, it's up to the average American or the state's AGs, e.g., NY etc. to go after him.

Libel against Acosta showing that lie of a video.

CNN is getting armed guards for those targeted by Trump. Theu need to sue,too, for Freedom of the Press and Libel.

Acosta wasn't the first journalist to have his credentials revoked, just the most popular. There was no outrage when lesser known journalists and a media network had their credentials revoked.
